Senior player leadership has been an issue since the early 2000's.
Once Ratten and Hickmott retired we had little leadership
I have said it plenty of times, we had too many blokes who would not commit to the contest.
Guys like Nick Stevens, Camporeale and Justin Murphy educated the younger guys how to avoid the contest.
Last night, when the game was in the balance Murphy avoided contact.
He would have been grilled for it if he were a Swans or Hawks player, yet we made him skipper.
If not for Judd and Cripps we would have won a lot more wooden spoons
