Murphy

[Tbone McGraw]

I feel a bit sorry for him. He is not leadership material.

Obviously has talent.

What do Blues do with him?

Give the captaincy to Kade Simpson.

Why would a Collingwood supporter post this thread while your game is going?

And even worse why would you feel sorry for Murphy!!!!!

 

[RUNVS]

Both Murphy and Gibbs are highly overrated. Neither are match winners.

Because i honestly feel sorry for him.

 

[Gaben]

Least of their worries. I'd be far more concerned about blokes like Gibbs and Walker.

 

[Hammer#8]

His leadership just looks bad cause his team is team is struggling.

 

[DieSwans]

He's not a leader.
Looks like a nice bloke but

 

[koutamarto]

One of the few trying out there. Least of our worries.
Teaching guys like buckley and simpson and docherty to kick 20 meters would be a great place to start

Should he be captain?

 

[Ian Dunross]

Would rather have Robbie Warnock as captain. Only half joking.

First thread about Murphy? Sure I've posted on a few. Good player, may become a good captain, overshadowed by Judd's influence (leadership) and would benefit (as would the whole side) from a new coach. Maybe a Ratten-type

Should he be captain?

I would say yes for 2 reasons
1. easy to look bad in this team.
2. Lack of other options.

what concerns me more than his supposed lack of leadership is his lack of impact on games since he took it over.

People say make simpson or carrazzo captain- Imo neither of those 2 are barely best 22 anymore. If the rest of the team played with murph intensity and effort we might not be this bad.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

He's an absolute soft****.

 

[seanoff]

Everyone bar judd on that carlton list is tradeable. Everyone.

I would trade gibbs and murphy for any decent offer. Maybe kettle chips

Make Tuohy captain, at least he has a dig

Wha? And here i am thinking he's your best player and only one who shows any sort of ticker...

Walker seems to have gone backwards from what he has shown previously, playing under duress or just disinterested..?

 

[groggm]

Make Tuohy captain, at least he has a dig

Thought the same, either him or Bell, at least they seem to be trying out there

 

[Pusswah]

Trade him to us for Lachie Neale and Fyfe plus our first round draft pick.

Ross Lyon don't like the yoof.

Love his effort and ticker but I just dont rate him as a half back. Doesn't kick THAT well and doesn't defend THAT well and seems to have lost his pace. Definitely has a crack.
Maybe play his as a FP or something. Not too sure.

 

[AFDogs]

One of Carlton's best players. Don't know why the attention and spotlight is constantly on him. As soon as he has a game with 20 or less disposals he gets called soft and not a great leader. I have no doubt, if Carlton were even a mid-table side he would be receiving nothing but praise for his on field efforts.

 

[Ron]

Simpson should have been made captain over Murphy. Can't do that now as Simpson almost looks like he is done.

No real other candidates at Carlton, and i do think Murphy would be better if he wasn't captain.
Carlton probably would hope someone like Docherty or Cripps will take over, but that is a few years away at least.
