Jack Macrae is the new Western Bulldogs VC

[weltschmerz]

An ultimate team man, Macrae couldn’t be more thrilled to be named as the Bulldogs’ vice-captain.
“It honestly means the world to me,” Macrae said.
“It’s such a privilege every week to pull on this jumper and play with our group. To be in this position, it’s certainly not lost on me.
“I am really excited about what this group can do over the next few years and beyond. I can’t wait to work with Marcus and the other leaders in building what we have started.”

Congratulations to Macrae, and to Daniel, Duryea, and Naughton for their elevation to the leadership group.

Leads by example every week. Glad he is getting some recognition for the unreal career he has had already

Fantastic choice congratulations Macrae

Who was in the leadership group last year? Did we have one or was it just Bont/Wallis/“everyone’s a leader”?

Just Bont and Wallis.

Awesome news and very much deserved. Would expect a new contact announcement before round 1 as well for the great man.

Just Wallis in 2021. The year before it was Wood, JJ, Dunks and Hunter (VC). With us returning to a more traditional set up, I'd assume Hunter's drink driving and Dunks' trade request have a lot to do with them dropping out, while JJ it may just come down to wanting to focus on his own game since he's teetering on the edge of the 22.

He’s a bulldog though and though

Absolutely awesome, love it!

Skin cancer is a killer. Be like Bev, kids. Be sun smart.

Interesting picks. Wouldn't have thought Naughton would be in the leadership group so soon. Duryea is an obvious choice. Well done Macrae.

Great choice.

I think the weight and importance Naughty has around the club, and especially in our young forward line, is huge. I think it’s a good call

Is anyone else getting genuinely worried about Bevo's state of mind?

Not at all

Because of the handle bar moustache?

He had it last year as well.

The crime wave in Ballarat of recent times often features similarly-attired culprits purloining alcohol from retail outlets, vehicles that don't belong to them, etc.
Bevo, if you know where it is, I want my ute back.

A natural progression in a wonderful career. Had he not been such an introspective young man this achievement would have come sooner. We couldn't be in better leadership hands.

I hope you're ok with some slight modifications.

More concerned about others around here.

With Bont and Jack as the midfield leaders and Duryea and Caleb as appointed backline leaders, it's likely they wanted a forward as the last member of the leadership group and Naughts filled the bill.

100% would have been Bruce if he was fit I reckon. Naughton is stepping into Bruce's shoes this year to lead our forward line.
