Murphy was a bad choice at the time in my opinion but he has grown into the role and has improved over time. Reappoint him until Crippa and Weiters are ready (whenever that may be).
If Murphy is not captain this year, you have to start to think there is an ulterior motive, notwithstanding a Gibbs or other would be worthy. I am just thinking there's not much we can trade at the end of the year who is expendable but also valued by rival clubs. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying this is likely to happen, but the reality is even at 29 Murphy will command a decent pick in return and he won't be part of our next premiership assault. Gibbs is a year younger and has largely been injury free, so he could well be playing strong in 4-54 years whereas Murphy I am not sure has the body to last that long. But a team up the top would hand over a decent pick for Murphy IMO.
