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?

Re: Who will be the Next Vice Captain ?
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.W00F!Comment

Re: Who will be the Next Vice Captain ?
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.Comment

Re: Who will be the Next Vice Captain ?
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.Comment

Re: Who will be the Next Vice Captain ?
Crozier.
He makes good decisions on field and off.They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.Comment

Re: Who will be the Next Vice Captain ?
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.The truth will set you free,

Re: Who will be the Next Vice Captain ?
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.Comment

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 VCWestern Bulldogs Football Club "Where it's cool to drool"Comment

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 tokenisticComment
