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.
GWS
2024 Captain: Toby Greene
2024 Leadership Group: Stephen Coniglio (vc), Josh Kelly (vc), Tom Green, Harry Perryman, Sam Taylor, Connor Idun
The change to have Toby Greene named as the sole skipper of the Giants proved to be an astute decision from GWS ahead of the 2023 season.
The electric forward will turn 32 in 2025 and have the club considering a succession plan, with star midfielder Tom Green the obvious option to take over the reins eventually.
A spot in the leadership group has opened up with Harry Perryman's departure to Collingwood, with the likes of Finn Callaghan, Brent Daniels and Toby Bedford names worthy of a promotion.
