Quote:Allowing Rottingwood to kick so many unanswered goals speaks to a glaring leadership void - speechless that leaders gave not a yelp, just a whimper. What did our young blokes learn from their leaders (on-field) when the opposition can take total control of a game the way Rottingwood did and the way the Tiggers did in R1? Did our leaders give them direction/inspiration/something? Nuh. What were our leaders thinking as they were chasing dot all over the paddock? Didn't anyone feel inclined to actually do something to change the course of the game or are they so used to failure that they accept defeat??? Does winning mean that little to us?
This....it's why I've never liked Murphy as a Captain.
Shame we couldn't have handballed him somewhere when we did the Gibbs' deal. :o
And I agree that even in his twilight years, Marc would be a much better player - for us or another team - if not burdened with the captaincy.
Finals, then 4 in a row!
