New Skipper?

[DJC]

Bryce does not come across as a leader when I've seen him interviewed - he is very laid back and affable but does not seem to have a lot to say unless pushed. TBH, you reminded me that he was VC Paul! Whether or not he remains in a VC or Co Capt role next year remains to be seen, but whether that happens or not I think BB will expect him, along with others, to strongly support the capt and not let anyone push him around, as well as to assist actively in the on field and off field development of the younger guys. IMO this will be vital to us becoming more competitive.

Did you see the interview I linked Cookie?

I thought it was as good as any AFL player has done; on message, positive, both personal and team oriented, supportive of Murph and forward looking.  Slightly off topic but he, like others, stressed how different Bolton's approach is.  I suppose that helps to explain how far off the pace we had fallen this season.

I saw quite a lot of Judd in how Gibbs spoke and I guess that is to be expected.  Of course, Judd wasn't a particularly demonstrative leader and I think many supporters want a more demonstrative, vocal bloke to be the skipper.  I'd prefer someone who can scare the pants off opponents with a steely gaze but I don't think they are on our list at the moment.
