“The support I have received from Choco, the leadership group, the coaching staff and my teammates has been overwhelming to say the least."
Port Adelaide coach Mark Williams said Cassisi had all the attributes to be an outstanding captain.
"He is a typical Port Adelaide captain – a hard and tough player who leads by example," Williams said.
“Dom has enormous respect within the playing group, and has always shown great interest in the welfare of other players."
