Worst Leaders in the AFL!

Especially remembering how he got that name - he never says anything.

I don't know how much or how little he talks, but I thought he was called Humphrey because of his face, especially his eyes and mouth ? I'm sure I saw a side by side photo of Krooz and the Bear somewhere, which gave the impression that this is the origin of the name.

At any rate, I believe he also has another nickname - Tractor.

Humphrey was because he wouldn't say anything but he has come out of shell a bit.

Tractor is also right.

If he can get his game back, he is a good combination of grunt and ability. Not sure how keen he would be on the media stuff.

The article says we "are being led by former captain Chris Judd". Is this yet another example of how Murphy is not acknowledged/recognised as a worthy captain or am I missing something.

Well there is a difference between a captain and a spiritual leader, refer the Hodge and Mitchell example at the Hawks.

The other interesting observation was that Juddy lacks that warmth or common touch that make/made others much more successful as captains/leaders. He seems to be more aloof and relies on leading more by example.

Geez I wish we had a Sam Mitchell problem

Wouldn't that be good.

Much better from our blokes this week.  Murphy was individually, much more involved in the play without being brilliant or inspirational.

Good to see Jamo get over to Byrne after the debutante made an error And give him a pat on the back.

Gibbs was better this week and I was wrapped when he shoulder barged Goddard.

I don't think that is correct.  Judd may lead by example at times but nowhere near as much as in past seasons.  He certainly doesn't take an overt leadership role.

If you watch who does most of the talking in the huddles it is Murphy, Carrazzo and Simpson.  Gibbs and Jamison don't seem to have much to say.

I usually see Carrazzo and Simpson doing almost all the talking in the huddles.
