MIDFIELDER Marc Murphy has been appointed the new captain of Carlton. Murphy replaces Chris Judd who stepped down from the role after five seasons. The 25-year-old got the nod for the top job ahead of Andrew Carrazzo and Kade Simpson. Murphy will officially lead the Blues in Friday's NAB Cup grand final against Brisbane Lions. The Blues are believed to have opted for youth in choosing Murphy ahead of 29-year-old Carrazzo. Murphy said captaincy was a position he had always aspired to. He said he was a very competitive person who led by example with his actions rather than words. "It obviously comes with a lot of responsibility but I'm looking forward to it," he said. I've got massive shoes to fill. I'm humbled by the selection.
