Some would argue the second part doesn't either
It is very badly worded. I think he is saying that the players don't appreciate the inference that there needs to be a major rebuild i.e that most of them could be out on their ear in the next season or two. Rather that the list needs some fine tuning and topping up. States his desire to be the next CFC premiership captain, which given his age, means he would like to think we can jag No17 in the next 4-5 years.
Believe it or not.

Sad really that our captain speaks and we all laugh.

Interesting observation from Wayne Carey tonight. He said that Richmond and Carlton supporters were noteworthy for the way in which they unfairly blame Cotchin and Murphy when the team performs poorly.
I'm not that familiar with Cotchin's treatment by Richmond supporters but I reckon Carey has a point when it comes to Murphy.

I'd agree with that.....I think Hodge and Selwood in particular have set the bar very high for inspirational captains and both Cotchin and Murphy are judged against that level of player/captain...
Re: Worst Leaders in the AFL! - deags - 04-24-2015
I think Murphy is being judged against the type of Captain the club needs, rather than the type of captain he is.
ATM we need someone in the tough nut, rev em up and rip em a new one mould, whereas he is the silent, follow my lead type. He would be very effective in a different environment, but I don't think he is doing himself justice here.
Having said that, he is not to blame for that issue. We don't really have the type of player that fits the bill right now, so by default he is put in to the captain role as probably our best player. It is made all the more stark at present by a lack of form on his part, but form is temporary and his class will shine through.

Tiger fans really give it to Cotchin far more than we give it to Murph. Apparently he's a turnover merchant that racks up a lot of unnecessary stats by running behind players and demanding the ball.

I was watching Melbs Nathan Jones go about it last night and was thinking I wish our captain played aggressive like that. Actually I wish any of our players played aggressive like that. :
