The Western Bulldogs today announced dual all-Australian and Charles Sutton Medallist, Matthew Boyd, will continue as captain for season 2012.
Boyd will be supported by a new-look leadership group which includes Daniel Cross, Dale Morris, Daniel Giansiracusa and 2011 all-Australian, Robert Murphy.
General Manager of Football, James Fantasia, said Boyd performed exceptionally well in his first season as captain of the Club.
“Matthew is a leader in every sense of the word and he did a fantastic job leading by example both on and off the field in what was a challenging season for the Club.”
“His ability to keep the group morale high and his own personal on-field consistency in a tough year points to the fact that he thoroughly deserves this re-appointment,” Fantasia said.
Fantasia was encouraged by Murphy’s re-induction into the leadership group and said that the All-Australian half-back flanker was a great role model for the younger players.
“The way in which Robert conducts himself sets a great example on what type of standards are expected around this place.”
“Robert’s ability to build strong relationships is a great strength of his — he is a terrific addition to what is a fantastic group of leaders,” Fantasia said.
