DARREN Glass will continue to captain West Coast in 2010.
Glass, who has led the Eagles for the past two seasons, will have Adam Selwood, Beau Waters, Matt Priddis, Josh Kennedy, Shannon Hurn and Dean Cox as his deputies.
The leadership structure is a shift away from West Coast's previous approach of having just one vice-captain to support the captain.
"The club has been developing this structure for a couple of years," Glass said.
"A lot of time and effort has been put into our leadership programs in the last few years and that is reflected in having six guys who can give me all the support I need."
"It is a demanding, but rewarding job being captain and it is great to be able to call on the experience and knowledge of all of those players."
Cox, who was vice-captain last season, welcomed the addition of new faces to the leadership group.
"The personnel in our squad has changed quite dramatically over the last few years and it has been good to see a number of those players emerge in a leadership role," Cox said.
"It is an exciting time for our club and the senior leadership group has an important role to play in assisting the development of the younger guys."
