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.
5Harris Andrews
Winning two premierships and leading the club through both make you deserve all the praise and admiration when it comes to being a leader as possible. While his play on the field hasn't been up to the standards expected of the All-Australian, Andrews is still the beating heart of Brisbane's backline and without him, they'd be in a lot more trouble.
