Too right. Give him a rest so he can get back into some form later in the season to improve his trade status.

I was watching "On the couch" today. Heally, Brown and Dunstall each thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to consider swapping a few players for 1st round draft picks. Most of the players we would trade wouldn't have huge value, so that leaves Murphy and Gibbs. Not saying we should do it. Brown believes we have blundered up our picks up for nearly 10 years. He said we really only have a small handful of players that can return good results.

Is there a precedent where a club trades their Captain for the benefit of list development? I think that would send a terrible message to both our supporters and the football public in general. By all means if he's not the best man to be skipper then we could look at another to step into the role but you don't trade your Captain.

Unfortunately there is. The Doggies traded Griiffen didn't they?

Not for the benefit of list development though. He quit the club over McCartney so it was only common sense that the dogs sought appropriate compensation. If Murph was to do the same I'd have no problem, but to trade a Captain who wants to be here would be poor form.

We brought MK back to play a couple of NB games at the end of the year when we were hovering around the bottom 4. Can't see Murphy getting a rest

If we indeed change our coach then it would also be a good time to review the captaincy and leadership group.
