New Skipper?

[ElwoodBlues1]

Elwood. Lets look at the Mitchell / Hodge situation at Hawthorn. Two different players with different character types. Each is a champion and a leader in terms of leading by example. Sometimes you need a player as captain that demands respect and is vocal enough to let you know it. Murphy won't leave if he isn't captain. If a better captain is in our current squad he would accept a role as VC. IMO.

Mants...two very exceptional players and Mitchell took it very well and proved what a champ he is and put the club first...not many would do that so it would/will be a test
for Murphy's character to have his role questioned...if I was selling it to Murphy it would be on the basis he will perform better as a player without the burden of being skipper.
I think he will retain the position short term and be on trial but will he always have it in the back of his mind that the coach isnt fully sold on him in the captains role and he needs to prove himself...just my opinion...
