It's not sad at all.
Kreuzer and Wait are no better than they were 4 years ago and Carlton has suffered because of it. They've got a long, long road ahead of them and one of or indeed both of those should be traded for a big pup with promise as soon as they can.

I actually feel sorry for Murphy, thrown into the captaincy way before he was ready, mainly due to lack of genuine options.

I know and understand your bias, but throwing glass into the mix cheapens your argument. Which is a fair one, I'll add. Murphy wasn't ready to be skipper, we relied too heavily on juddy to lead us. I thought, with a bit of mongrel injected into him, jameson could've been captain. He'd have been similar to glass - reliable and strong. But not in the vain of the other blokes you've mentioned.

trying to put bias aside i think the dogs will get up this week then they have West Coast (H), Collingwood and St. Kilda before the bye
in all honesty they could be 0-8 at the break and what pressure would that put onto Mick and the boys?!?

In terms of respect and pure captaincy amongst the group, Glass is one of the best. Just because you don't play in an attacking position, kick goals or get 30 touches, doesn't rule you out from being captain. Captains set a standard, Glass is rarely beaten in 1 on 1 contests and expects the rest of his team mates to do the same. Plus, if you remove him, it leaves only Cox and maybe Priddis who could do the job respectably. Look at Geelong with Scarlett, why he wasn't the official Captain, he basically Captained Geelongs entire backline.
A feel your Captain has to be the player that knows his game back to front, doesn't vary from his strengths and knows what works and what doesn't on a footy field.
Perfect example is Pendlebury, everyone knew he would eventually Captain Collingwood, but they stuck with Maxwell until the time was right and Pendlebury had fine tuned his game, to become the complete player.
I feel Murphy is not there yet, still learning his game and trying to add strings to his bow. It's bloody tough to do that, and lead your team and drag them over the line and cop the scrutiny that comes with the position.
