WOW 87% don't want Judd stripped of the Captaincy. What a surprise.
Shame shame shame on you 13% who voted yes

87% .. lets go back through the posts and see how many would strip Judd of the Captaincy but won't because no suitable replacement stands out to them. I'm tipping it wouldn't be 87% then, more 50-50.
So again the question comes back to Judd and his inability along with the club to cultivate, motivate and inspire the leadership group ---> playing group.
Will Leading Teams fix this problem? IMO leadership isn't something that can be taught from scratch, you have to already demonstate leadership qualities and then use Leading Teams to fine tune those skills, otherwise when the leadership group all of a sudden start coming out and towing the line according to the book of leadership, they will come of looking stupid and lose even more respect.
Now back to the question of who would you replace Judd with? I think we have 2-3 candidates. Gibbs and McLean with JR a smokey.
..no-one's good enough to replace Juddles yet.. ..however, it might be a better question to ask who should be V.C and who should be part of a 'real' leadership group.... ..for me, i reckon Murphos, Simmo, Carrots, Waite.. ..JR as a smokey i can see, ditto Wiggo..
.. ..in a year, chuck in McLean.. ..Krooz a definate when he gets another year or two under his belt.... ..the problem though is the players with good leadership qualities are still so young themselves.. .... ..as for the Gibblet, great player gettin' better.. ..don't see the captain/leader material in him meself though.... ..if anything, he's a young gun that should be watched, he could go the way of the 'bad boy blues'.... ..hopefully he won't be under the 'shadow' of the neg influences much longer..
