    Who will be the Next Vice Captain ?

    I think Mitch Wallis would make a great Vice Captain, but he has to be deemed to be in the best 22 (not saying either way)

    Who else are contenders?
    FFC: Established 1883

    Premierships: AFL 1954, 2016 VFA - 1898,99,1900, 1908, 1913, 1919-20, 1923-24, VFL: 2014, 2016 . Champions of Victoria 1924. AFLW - 2018.

    Dunks, Crozier, Macrae & Wallis all in the mix.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Without knowing the ins and outs - and I think in this case I'd like the MC/Bevo to appoint a replacement - Dunkley would be high on my list of candidates.

    You would think it would be one of the members of the leadership group ( I need to check who they are)

    Wood, JJ, Wallis, Dunkley (Bont & Hunter).

    Dunkley if he's ready, if not Wood for a year perhaps.

    JJ doesn't strike me as a leader, Wallis has best 22 concerns as mentioned.

    Suggestions such as Macrae and Crozier could be elevated to the now vacant leadership group spot.

    I think Crozier would be a good choice.
    I was initially leaning towards Dunks, but with Bont set for a long reign as captain felt Crozier would be a suitable deputy for the next 2-3 years. This allows Dunks to just focus on footy in the immediate future.

    Crozier.

    He makes good decisions on field and off.

    Given its Bont's first year as Captain, and his youth, I think it needs a mature player to help support him.

    Crozier seems to have taken on more responsibility for the organisation of the backline, so maybe he is inline. Although I wonder if Easton Wood might put his hand up for much the same reason.

    I would love to see Wally there, and maybe that would give his career a kick along, and cement a permanent place in our best 22.

    I think it will be Dunkley. I thought it would be him before Hunter was appointed. So I'll stick with Dunks now. He is an absolutely no risk pick, in my view.

    Re: Who will be the Next Vice Captain ?

    So who is going to challenge the others in the group?

    Crozier and Dunkley are good mates with Bont and that has some positives and maybe a couple of negatives
    Wallis appears to be a natural but he may not be in our best 22
    Wood can do the job but I don't rate him as a best 22 player and Trengove who could also do the job appears to be in the back of the queue
    Has JJ matured and is Macrae vocal enough?

    Based on all that it probably needs to be Wallis as the VC

    Re: Who will be the Next Vice Captain ?

    I would think it would come out of the remaining leadership group. That consists of Wood, JJ, Wally and Dunks.

    Wood- think being former captain, going a bit backwards making him VC
    JJ- seems popular guy but seem him more as a member of broad leadership group
    Wally- probably the best option but not sure if he is lock in 22
    Dunkley- great role model, just very young alongside Bont

    This all said, think VC over leadership group= mostly tokenistic
