Is this a tick for Murphy?
I reckon it's a positive that Murphy and others have put their hands up as leaders.
Quote:Carlton will likely delay a decision on its 2016 captain until "a few months" after Christmas, but new coach Brendon Bolton has been pleased by the "really good leadership" qualities of incumbent skipper Marc Murphy.
Speculation has raged that Murphy could be replaced as Carlton captain next year after Bolton indicated late last month that he was "really open" about who captained the Blues next season, the new coach opting to review the leadership at the club before making a call.
Speaking from Carlton's Gold Coast pre-season camp on Tuesday, Bolton stressed that although a captaincy decision remained some way off, Murphy had impressed him in their short time working together.
"Marc Murphy at the moment is our captain. He's shown really good leadership, as have others to date, which is pleasing," Bolton said.
"We are looking at our leadership in terms of leadership development for all.
I reckon it's a positive that Murphy and others have put their hands up as leaders.
