FREMANTLE star Matthew Pavlich will remain as captain of the club for the 2009 season.
Pavlich, who has captained the Dockers for the past two seasons, will be supported by a leadership group consisting of Luke McPharlin, ruckman Aaron Sandilands, defender Antoni Grover and midfielder Des Headland.
Fremantle coach Mark Harvey said all five members of the leadership group will play an important role in helping the club climb up the ladder next season.
"The five players in the new leadership group have, collectively, played more than 700 AFL games and we will be calling on that experience, both on and off the field in 2009, to lead what is now one of the youngest playing lists in the AFL," Harvey said.
"Each is a consummate professional and they are all committed to taking the Fremantle Football Club forward in the coming years. They realise the importance of their roles within the leadership group and will be entrusted with assisting the coaching staff in helping the 14 new draftees at the club develop both as footballers and good citizens."
