Best Win Percentage As Captain
The best win percentage as a VFL/AFL club captain since 1897, minimum 50 games as captain. Draws count as half a win. Games as captain are the games a club captain played in the seasons he was captain: an injured captain's missed games are not counted, an acting captain is not credited, and when a season lists two captains (co-captains, or a change during the season) both are credited.
