This is just my own personal view but I reckon a "Judd" type leader is exactly what we need with this new group. Firstly, by Judd like, I mean one who lets his footy do the talking. He brought players with him through his behavior and actions during the week and on game day. I think the new crop that has been brought in seem to be self motivated and professional enough that they dont need the Johnathan Brown type of booming voice constantly in their ears. They all seem talented and driven enough to warrant and respond best to the Judd style of leadership. This is why I reckon if Murphy just focuses on footy again and can get back to the way we all know he can play, he will bring these guys with him ala Judd. Hope this makes sense.

Murphy has hardly delivered on the field since he was captain.
I would make Gibbs, Murphy and Kreuzer co captains until Weitering is ready.

I'm hoping that under the new coach we won't see the captain or other stars abandoned and sacrificed like we did in the past. I hope the team sticks fat and defends each other with a one-in all-in attitude!
If Murphy gets half the protection that someone like Mitchell or Hodge gets we see him starring week in and week out! 
Perhaps Gorringe or even a fit Wood working in tandem with Kreuzer can change the attitudes.
Plowman also looks to have a bit of aggro about him, Kerridge hopefully the same.

Those guys stand up for themselves. You don't see them fall over and get up real slow when they get pushed around.

If Hodge gets hit the offender is surrounded by Hodge's team-mates in seconds. If either Mitchell or Hodge get put down one of their team-mates will pick them up just as quickly.
Our blokes run on by Murphy, but not just Murphy, Judd, Carrazzo, etc., etc..
They run on by anyone who is put down, so much so the TAC should consider using a clip of Carlton playing as a message to embarrass the gutless people who flee the scene of an accident!

I expect that may be one of the deficiencies Bolton addresses first up.

Yes - I hope the whole "get around him" mentality isn't just for those that score goals.
EDIT : in fact, if Bolton is as good a teacher as they say, I hope he can teach Simon White a thing or two about protecting teammates without attracting unfavorable attention. He could be very handy keeping Murph and Cripps company around the packs.

You can see it's the first thing he is addressing. "united" is his Catch cry and I suspect he means that to the board as well. He and SOS are leading from the front working together and the first 3 weeks have been dedicated to this.
I mean we have seen it as supporters for nearly 7 years, doesn't take a genius to realise we have failed to address it on the field.
Some of those players that were shipped out of the club were all "me first" Players when you think about it.
