No surprise with Steele taking the mantle. I like going down to five in the leadership group, seven was too big last year.

The understated rise of Callum Wilkie going from SANFL accountant to Rookie list to to best 22 to leadership group has to be on the most understated stories in footy.

We’ve still got that baggy guernsey for this year

What? Only 5 players? But GWS have 3 captains, 5 vice captains, 12 deputy vice captains and 24 junior deputy vice captain cadets?

Interesting Ratts goes to the effort to say Gears is in the leadership group but "how that looks" will be determined during the season.

I read into that like they all know he's not going to be in the best 22-26 and will mentor at training and VFL a lot more. Which I think would be the best possible outcome. As much as I love him, it's time.

Good to see Dmac and Sincs get some recognition too. Who voted for Coops love it

Bigfooty proxy vote

Interesting to see Steeley mention Coop and Byrnesy when he was talking about developing younger leaders.

Coop must’ve had a fair impact in his 8 months at the club then by the sounds of it if he’s already being mentioned as a young leader

I’d have loved for Coff to be part of the leadership group

If you use your manners and ask nicely you never know what might happen x

Seems like someone who will be in it in a few years. But needs to focus on getting back to his best form first.

Too many tall people. They've taken over the captaincy of the cricket team and now this. Tall people used to know their place.

Kanye West's request for Marvel Stadium concert knocked back in favour of AFL clash

The AFL has prioritised Friday night footy over a Kanye West concert.

Kan…ye piss off? We’ll need to start the season strong at Marvel and get a good precedent going there.

Thoughts on Billings being kicked out of the leadership group? Looks a bit odd to me, just signed a new 4 year deal and been a member for 3 years, now the team has vetoed him out

Not a bad thing to let him focus on his footy this year.

Not a bad thing to let him focus on his footy this year.

I agree. Let him focus on getting his body right again and it might also take some pressure off his shoulders.

They've reduced the leadership group from seven to five - two had to miss out.

Why the group has been reduced we don't know - maybe the votes showed there we five clear leaders, maybe the coaches thought that the extra numbers made the leadership group harder to work with.

Players voted and had others ahead of him
Hopefully Billings takes notice

Must be better leaders at the club

Maybe he didn’t want to be in it ?

Seb Ross too.

Know what you are saying but would rather focus on Coops and Sinc's and DMAC getting a vote.

What a vote in confidence in the three blokes

Not a problem, very rarely do I view him on field as showing leadership qualities. I realise there is so much more behind the scenes that we don't see, but I just don't see it on game day on the field.
Hopefully he takes it to heart and wants to show the team they've made an error not selecting him by going above and beyond.
