Williamstown has backed last season’s captains to lead them again this year in the Victorian Football League and VFLW competitions this year.
The Seagulls last week announced their leadership groups for both squads.
Cameron Polson has been appointed the Seagulls’ men’s captain for a second straight season, but will have a completely new look leadership group around him.
Polson had an injured plagued first year as captain and will be looking to spend more time on the field this season.
A mixture of stalwarts, young guns and newcomers join the leadership group as Tom Downie, Jake Greiser, Mitch Cox, Jack Toner, Oscar McDonald and Jason Pongracic make up the new look group.
After doing a terrific job last season, Erin Meade has been reappointed the VFLW captain.
Nicole Julian, Ruby Tripodi, Jazz Kawa, Eliza Straford and Sarah Cameron make up the rest of the leadership group.
Meanwhile, the Seagulls have welcomed Josh Pickess back to the VFL program.
“Josh Pickess has made his way back to DSV Stadium ahead of the 2023 season,” the Seagulls said.
“A favourite son being welcomed back into the nest is huge news for Williamstown as they boast their list with some seasoned VFL talent.
“Last season Josh returned to local football but was keen to get back to Point Gellibrand this season.
“Pickess will provide great stability forward of the ball and will bob up when least expected to get his side back in the contest. His ability to win the ball one-on-one is what makes him so dangerous for any opposition side.”
