Brown will captain the Victorian side once again, while Darcy takes the role of skipper for the All-Stars. 

Brown, a three-time AFL Premiership-winning player with the Brisbane Lions, captained the Victorians to a nail-biting victory in the 2016 edition of the charity game. 

“We snatched victory in an epic kick off after the siren last year and I’m confident we can take home the title again this year,” Brown said. 

“Darce better watch out, we have some absolute greats lining up for Victoria, including premiership players, All-Australians and AFL Hall of Famers.”

Darcy, a legend of the Western Bulldogs, captains the All Stars for the first time. 

“The Chemist Warehouse EJ Whitten Legends Game is a great opportunity for some of footy’s greats to come together and support the EJ Whitten Foundation,” Darcy said.

“The All Stars team is looking strong this year; we have pulled together some of the best retired players from around the country,”

“I don’t want to reveal too much yet but it is safe to say some of the biggest names in AFL are on our list and we’re ready to take on Browny’s Vics.”

The 2017 EJ Whitten Legends game takes place on Friday, September 1 at Etihad Stadium.
