New Skipper?

[Mantis]

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...

For me Elwood you sold the exact feeling I had. Murph will put the club first if there is a better captain at the moment. He is a far better player than a leader. Judd as an example. He was a captain and preferred to be seen as an elite player. Murphy is not a Judd, Mitchell or a Hodge. He is a really fine player though. One I hope we keep at the club for another few more seasons. We haven't seen the best out of him just yet.
