Next Captain

Where are these exposés as provided by the former player and assistant ? Why do you assume that the voting process was solely the preserve of the players ? You imply the coaches input into the process was corrupt - should not the coaches get a vote as well ? If it's only the players who vote, isn't it possible that it may descend into a popularity contest ? Perhaps, just perhaps, the process was fair and reasonable all along and it was made clear to the players that their vote was not final, nor was it binding.

You say it's remarkable that Murph has lasted this long. Without knowing what goes on inside the club, maybe we should allow for the possibility that it isn't all that remarkable.

If what you say is true, and the process is deeply flawed, even after a full reset, then the club should just pack up and call it a day. I'll buddy up with my James Hird inflatable doll, and go and support the Bombers.

First paragraph, I don't assume anything.
I was told what the players were told.
I was told what the coaches decided afterwards.
Either the coaches lied to the players beforehand. Or they changed their mind afterwards and failed to tell the players.
In any event, it breeds mistrust amongst the group, especially when the message trickles down from one of the assistant coaches to at least one of the players at the time.

As for 'remarkable'....i was clearly talking about Simpson, not Murphy. If this type of comprehension is commonplace, i'm not surprised you are still arguing.
