Damned if you do and damned if you don't.
While he's captain, I wish him all the best.

I think that its noble for him to come out with these sorts of comments but in reality, his view on things are just not an accurate assessment of where we are at :
Clearly he didn't read the memo !!
I prefer waffle cone's.Plenty of people waffle on with very little to say.
Hendo is not intimidatingHendo for mine. Big, strong player and visibly gets over to players to speak to them, pat on the back, directs the forward line etc. Hes a barometer. Animated character and plays with heart. Give him the captaincy and see him thrive. I feel as though we need to get away from this idea that a 'lead by example' captain is enough. Hes gotta be vocal. Hes gotta be extroverted and physically able to intimidate. MUrphy got 6 free kicks on the weekend and he lead by getting ragdolled all day. Its not like Selwood who gets 6 free kicks by getting his head knocked off, murph just gets shoved around like a kid. I respect him dont get me wrong, but I just see us thriving with that style of captain.
I love Hendo but I'm not sure he's actually physically intimidating. I'm not saying he's timid or anything like that, I've seen him do brave acts like going back with the flight etc but he doesn't actually seem extroverted or a basher of men.Hendo for mine.

It has taken three years for Murphy to just begin to grow into the captaincy role, in my mind thats a hail of long time.
That Worsfold bloke was a big softie.Are there any examples of weak or ineffectual captains who held the role for a longish time? Can't be too many.

Got a good feeling about Murphy ATM. Loved his game on the weekend was very hard at it.
Only thing missing was a goal or two. He will really benefit from having Judd Cripps and Whiely
Doing the heavy lifting inside this week.
Watching young Cripps in his recent interview, he has captaincy written all over him.
Well spoken, down to earth & was the VC for the WA U/18 team, he is our next captain for sure, you can bookmark that one right now.
Its an early call, but they way he plays makes him look like a leader, the type of player that will just put his body on the line and get the job done when game is on the line. Still i doubt he will be ready for leadership for another 3 years and not sure Murphy will hang on that long.
Sticks was 24 though and had played 136 games for Glenelg on top of the 1986 season at Carlton.Kernahan was named captain in his second year at the club, anything is possible.
