GWS have announced Phil Davis and Callan Ward will co-captain the club for the seventh year running, as the Giants unveiled their leadership group on Monday morning.
The pair have been the club's captains since their inception into the AFL, with the Giants also announcing the other three members of the group, which included a veteran entering his season second with the club.
Matt de Boer will join Stephen Coniglio and Josh Kelly in the leadership group, with Kelly upgraded to vice-captain.
“Selecting the Leadership Group has been a rigorous process and we’ve settled on a strong group which will continue to drive us forward in 2018,” GWS' General Manager of Football Wayne Campbell told gwsgiants.com.au.
“Callan and Phil have been wonderful leaders of our club since our inception and the process has strongly endorsed them to continue as co-captains.
“Stephen did an outstanding job in his first 12 months as vice-captain and we believe Josh will continue to develop as a leader with the elevation to this position.
“Matt has shown wonderful leadership qualities since the day he arrived at our club and will bring a different set of skills to the group.
“I’d like to acknowledge the roles that Heath Shaw and Dylan Shiel have played in our leadership group in recent seasons and I look forward to them continuing to play important mentoring roles within our playing group alongside the likes of Ryan Griffen, Tom Scully and Brett Deledio.”
