Word had it that Dusty was going to be one of the captain's. Now that marketing would have made sense. Rampaging bull and all that. I reckon Dusty has pulled out and Jack stepped in and they haven't been arsed changing the marketing
All it's doing is watering down the AFL product. Counter productive.
The AFL have learned nothing from cricket's calamaties.
Gil, SHocking & co have got to go.

From a November Seven story
Channel 7 reported four captains — Patrick Dangerfield, Dustin Martin, Nat Fyfe and Lance Franklin — will be able to handpick their teams, poaching players from rival outfits, as if they were youngsters in the school playground.
The captains are unconfirmed at this stage but the network reported whoever has the C next to their name come February will be paid $50,000.
There are also reports one team may be comprised entirely of indigenous players.
As someone pointed out online, a game of footy goes for about the same length of time as a T20 game in cricket.
Kids love football for the most part but if they're too young to sit still for 2.5 hours & watch a game, here's an idea..DON'T BRING THEM!
I cannot stand the AFL's desire to constantly try & engage low attention spans with gimmicks. All it succeeds in doing is alienating the core supporter base.
It's like those in charge don't believe the heart of their product is good enough with all the tinkering they do to it.

Only some young Channel 7 go-getter spiv with one,
Central nostril would be able to answer that question.
Perhaps little kids being reared by culturally depauperate middle class parents?
I dunno?
If its even slightly successful, we might as well all throw in the towell.
