Lisa Williams is our captain, she's a midfielder who was vice captain for Diamond Creek, who finished as runners-up last year against Daisy Pearce's Darebin Falcons. Natasha Hardy (Sunbury) is VC, with Hayley Bullas (DC), Kirby Hicks (DC), Jessica Trend (Eastern), Kendra Heil (Eastern) and Lauren Morecroft (DC) all members of the leadership group.

If anyone is wondering, about 25-30% of our playing group came from Diamond Creek so it's no surprise that they're prominent in the leadership group, especially seeing as they've been dumped from the VFLW.

Also excessive.

7 for a squad of how many players? Essentially one in 3 players will be a "leader."

Stupid.

The AFL side have 7, VFL have 7 and VFLW have 7.
