CAPTAIN GLOVE
Dale Morris will Captain the Western Bulldogs this weekend
The Western Bulldogs have announced that defender Dale Morris will captain the Club against Carlton in the absence of injured skipper Robert Murphy on Saturday night.
With Vice-Captain Easton Wood again watching on from the sidelines, Morris will step up to take the reins for the first time in his 214-game career.
Morris has been a pillar of the Bulldogs' defence since being taken in the 2005 Rookie Draft, and alongside Murphy, Wood, Matthew Boyd and Marcus Bontempelli was named a part of the five-man leadership group at the beginning of the 2016 season.
The 33-year-old Morris is renowned for his mentoring role at the Club, and acting as an on-field coach for emerging defenders Joel Hamling, Fletcher Roberts, Marcus Adams and Zaine Cordy.
Now in his 12th season of senior football, Morris continues to be a key cog in the Bulldogs backline averaging 13 disposals and six marks per contest in 2016.

When Griff left, I was keen for Moz to get the gig. He's obviously no Bob, but his tenacity and on field leadership will hopefully keep us on the straight and narrow.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.
