Toeing the line or a genuine assessment of Murphy's leadership?
Quote:A decision is expected to be made on Carlton's captaincy in the next fortnight and Thomas backed Marc Murphy to continue in the role as he had been a "fantastic" leader in Thomas' two years there.
It seems that Gibbs won't named captain today

Jon Pierik has picked up the team photograph hint:
Quote:The Blues have yet to publicly endorse Marc Murphy as skipper, but that seems all but assured. He sat to the right of coach Brendon Bolton, the traditional spot for a captain, in the recent team photo, and all players have enthusiastically backed him when questioned.
An announcement is expected early next week, before the Blues open the NAB Challenge against Hawthorn in Launceston on Thursday night.
"From my point of view, I'd like to see Murph run on as captain," Tuohy said. "I think he's had a tough time over the last few years. He's been much-maligned and the way he's held himself the last few years. He's a player I respect incredibly."

Tuohy has endorsed Murphy and he's on my new membership card. Perhaps he'll be announced as captain on Monday
The team photograph arrangement suggests that Gibbs will be vice captain. Not many other blokes stand out but I'd prefer to see a point of difference between captain and vice, ie one of them to be as hard as a cat's head.

it's official. Murph el capitano.
Simmo captain of vice
leadership group :
Gibbs
Cripps
Docherty
Curnow E
Walker
I don't mind that leadership group but I hope we see leadership across the board, not just from the designated leaders.
Walker's responses were measured and articulate and just what you'd expect from a leader and senior player.
