Worst Leaders in the AFL!

[ElwoodBlues1]

I accept that is the case but I am not sure you need that type of player to be the captain, but I agree whole heartedly that you need that type of player in your team!

A captain needs brains, communication skills, poise, what Hodge offers and what many good footballers offer doesn't normally come in the one package!

The question I would ask is this, if we had Hodge type players on our list could Murphy pull them into line, could he do a Vandenberg, I think leading by example is not enough.

Having said that, Garlett and Robinson's fate has surely sent a message, we may never know how much the leadership group had to do with it!

Does a leader need to be feared, by his own side as well as opponents?

I think a leader needs to be feared ..re: Robbo and Garlett....think thats a leadership group issue where a strong leader also needs some strong deputies to back him up and
you cant get on with everyone but maybe one of your deputies gets on with some players that you dont and can impart the message better..
