Several AFL clubs will be considering captaincy changes for the 2025 season, with new leaders banging on the door and the need for fresh voices potentially of interest for the coming year.
More than half of the competition should see their same leaders continue their posts from 2024, with the supporting groups underneath them the more likely area for change.
With captaincy roles either set for change, under threat or locked in for 2025, we look at who will likely lead each AFL team and the potential incoming leadership grouo additions.
Gold Coast
2024 Captains: Touk Miller and Jarrod Witts
2024 Leadership Group: Noah Anderson (vc), Sam Collins (vc)
The Suns could be gearing up for a captaincy change in the next 12 months, with Witts himself preparing to hand the ruck baton over to emerging tall Ned Moyle in the coming seasons.
Touk Miller is still a vocal presence in midfield but could hand the captaincy over to one of Noah Anderson or Matt Rowell, with the latter needing to confirm his future at Carrara beyond the coming season.
Key defender and reigning best and fairest Sam Collins might be the best of the lot, with 2025 to be his sixth year in the Suns' leadership group.
