After the train wreck which was the footy show the day after Ratten was sacked, they've probably locked him away until this blows over.

Where indeed. Wonder if this is part of a plan to gradually lower his media profile and gently ease him out of the captaincy?

Like Malthouse, he has effectively sacked himself.

New coach is the time to move Murphy out of the captaincy with the least amount of fuss but pretty sure Murphy is keen to keep it.
Re: Worst Leaders in the AFL! - Micky0 - 05-27-2015
For whatever reasons he has obviously decided he doesn't want to front the media.
Give the guy a break guys he works his guts out every week and gets slammed relentlessly both on the field and off. We ask for loyalty and then talk about Cripps being made captain - he hasn't even played a full season ffs. How about showing Murph some respect?!

Murphy comes out and tears the Swans a new one... the ultimate finger to all and sundry.
Actions speak louder than words.

Would love a strong captain to come out and speak.
Murphy and Gibbs are not strong characters or captains/leaders IMHO.

I love Murph... he has been battered from day 1 as a small skinny kid trying to carry the hopes of a Team in the Pagan years.
He has his limitations as captain and you only had to look at last week and watch Simmo play to see who the spiritual leader was. But I understand why he was made captain.
I don't expect Murph to do a press conference, but he hasnt even been sighted. Not commented, not seen, not heard from, was late to the flight to Sydney in an obvious ploy to keep him out of the spotlight.
I wasn't passing comment on my thoughts of Murph, I was genuinely curious to how absent the Captain of our Football club is?
