Leaders; Bolton's view

[LP]

Maclure on 360 tonight said it's time for the succession.
Said he thought Murphy would hand it over without to much angst.

Docherty or Cripps were the suggestions.

I'd be surprised, that is almost as external comment as we would make, populist media rubbish perhaps? Friends with an agenda?

From what I hear indirectly, Murphy's leadership, communication and co-ordination skills are so far ahead of the next option it's a real problem for the club, some say he could well be a future AFL coach if he so desires. Not sure what to make of that, suggests our recruiting team needs to consider the prospects of leadership as a skill.

Of the recent recruits, Cripps included, only Weitering comes close to Murphy. Cripps has quite a unique focus, drive and commitment that might actually alienate players who cannot keep up with him. Some say he is very similar to Judd and has the same pitfalls.

Weitering is more inclusive off-field while having white line fever on-field(Even though it isn't always showing!), he is likened to Kernahan.
