Unlike many other professional sports leagues around the world, the AFL has the honour and tradition of selecting a player to officially lead their sides.
This honour comes with the responsibility to represent the club's values, lead by example, and handle most media-related spotlights.
Many great players have been elevated to this position, with some being able to thrive under the pressure while others falter under the expectations that come with it.
I will be assessing this list based on the player's current footy form and the leadership traits they exhibit on and off the field.
Players like Jai Newcombe, Callum Wilkie and Andrew McGrath will miss out with little sample size after only just starting their captaincies this season.

Leading by example is definitely something this man can do, but sometimes not in the most admirable way. Though his form and loyalty to the Giants (thus far) since their infancy make him earn a large amount of respect, especially after only being the second sole captain during the club's 15-year history.
