Last night I watched a recording of our rd 1 1997 game against the bombers in which Diesel pushed the umpire after the match. In the centre of the ground Olarenshaw knocked out Camporeale with an elbow/forearm right in front of Brett Ratten and Ratts acted like nothing happened.
Peter Dean came from probably 100 metres away to remonstrate and he was the only one who did. Sticks and SOS did not play.
Was this an early sign of things to come?
Probably. Another sign was that no one knocked Denham into middle of next week much earlier in the game for harrassing Diesel. If that had been done then Diesel's incident with the ump may never have occurred. I have very very bad menories of that day as I was sitting in the Bummer members area with a friend of mine. It was like being in a feral pig enclosure.

Quote:New coach Brendon Bolton said the midfielder was no certainty to continue in the role late last year, but Denham says the 28-year-old's job was never in doubt.
"I can assure you there's no way he won't be captain, there's not even a clear second best at the moment. So Murphy is a shoe-in," Denham said on Hungry for Sport.

Our new coach is only in the job 2 minutes and he's already being called a liar.

Why is Bolton being called a liar? He said that all leadership positions would be reviewed and a decision made in due course and that's what's happening. Denham may be right about Murphy getting the job but I suspect that he knows a lot less about our potential leaders than Bolton does now.
Re: New Skipper? - madbluboy - 01-21-2016
Bolton said Murphy is no certainty and Denham said not only is he a certainty but it was never in doubt.

In fact, Bolton said:
Quote:"I'm really open-minded at this stage," Bolton said of Murphy's captaincy on Monday.
"As I said, it's a real reset. I want to be able to feel the leadership - look at it, view it, celebrate it and analyse it.
"At the moment I'm really open."
I reckon that's exactly what is happening; no lies, no spin, just the facts ma'am!

I'm sure at the time Bolton made his statement that Murphy was not a certainty. As time has passed Murphy has emerged as the most likely to captain the club. Denham has simply made this observation. No conspiracy.
Re: New Skipper? - ElwoodBlues1 - 01-21-2016
My view is that BB isnt sold on Murphy but he will retain the role as skipper but not because he is a great captain or suitable ...purely there are no standout alternatives given Cripps is too young and the other experienced players not up to it either....
Ideally Cripps and Weitering would be our long term leaders but thats a way off yet and we will continue to struggle with leadership on the field until the young players come through..
Re: New Skipper? - Vivian - 01-21-2016
I doubt Bolton cares much who is named 'captain'. What he wants to develop is more leadership from all the players, that generates the kind of support and teamwork a sucessful team generates. A culture that means players are asking more of each other.
Murphy named captain. Great. But alot more needs to come from senior players especially on and off the field, regardless of who is in leadership groups or anointed with titles.
Re: New Skipper? - kruddler - 01-21-2016
Bolton doesn't need a captain.
He needs a general.
Murphy will be captain.
We still don't have a general.
