I thought he was McFly, not Boyd.

They had an acting captain made of (Easton) Wood?
We will have a co-captain (Cripps) made of granite.

ok - that has me thinking - still think the idea of a leader is for the on-field stuff - like we planned all along ..........until........

geez..........
Doc proved this year he can captain from the sidelines. Hope he gets the same dispensation to sit on the bench during the season. Cripps captains on the field, Doc when they interchange. Simples.

Yes....he helped coaching
If Doc was a sole captain well then yes we’d need a replacement but Paddy can handle it
Doc will remain co captain. I'm sure of it. He is a long turn captain of this club with Cripps.
Cripps will have to do it alone on field again this year... but he's used to that's by now.
Doc will from the side until he is back on the park.

Doch's risk was the reason for co captains.
Crippa now takes it forward in reality.
This will cause cluster* internally as doch is the better communicator.

a captain captain's on the field - we don't need a captain off field - there's a million support workers for that from bolts down to navy nina
We also don't need to strip him of a role that clearly means a lot to him, just because he is injured.

You may be right, but I will be disappointed if he does.

Simmo can't run a backline let alone a team ...great competitor but would be as useful as Murph was as a Captain.

seems a bit harsh - people being calling for him to be named skipper for yonks........

I would rather a captain that was available (and effective) all week except during matches.....than a captain that was only available during game time.
Not saying Cripps can't do both. But don't underestimate the value of off-field stuff; Motivation at training, someone to lean on, someone to confide in, build up your confidence, maintain your passion for the game and the club.
A great captain off-field is a big piece of the puzzle of developing a cohesive and successful list IMHO. And as much as Cripps is a champion player, I'm not sure he's got that angle of leadership mastered yet.

but we have people for that, dozens of em - captain is just a name.........
Can you be a bit more definitive please.
Doc got some practice at seeing how coaching is done. Maybe one day he wil get a crack at it. However we won two games only.
We played our best football when Cripps was full captain. Its real simple.

Think we will see Murphy step back in beside Crippa.
I dont think he wanted to step down particularly....so we may see more from Murphy
Why would it be a problem if Doc stays on as a co-captain next year.....I just dont see any negatives in it.
I think leave the group. Cripps can do it on his own on field and Doc can have a role off field. It would be a further kick in the guts to take it off him because of this injury
