The Southport Sharks are pleased to announce their VFL Leadership Group for 2023.
Jacob Dawson and Mike Manteit will remain as Co-Captains for the second year.
Mackenzie Willis and Brayden Crossley will be the club’s Vice-Captains.
Willis was Vice-Captain in 2022, and Crossley has been elevated to the joint-position after two years in the Leadership Group.

Southport Coach Steve Daniel said, “I’m very happy with our Leadership Group that we have assembled for 2023.”
“We go through a thorough process every year, and all the players selected should be proud to lead this football club. It is a huge honour and one I know they take seriously.”
