Do you know what's even bigger than the Big Bash? The AFL.

Why the biggest sporting organisation in the country would look to emulate smaller sporting competitions has me confused.

Let's think now ... why ..... why .....

Could it be the possibility of more $$$$$$$ ?

Interesting that AFL will sting clubs to be in it. What will the AFL do with the extra $$$$$ they hope to generate from it? Give it back to the clubs? Grass roots, country footy, etc? Or bonuses for the execs?

What is AFLX?

• Played on a soccer-sized oval
• Played between two sides of seven, three on each interchange bench
• Ten-minute quarters
• No centre bounces (kick-ins from full-back after each goal)
• One umpire

Melbourne ruckman Max Gawn said he liked the plan, but hoped he wouldn’t be playing at the launch competition.

"If I’m not playing finals, and Melbourne don’t make finals, it would be a great concept," he said on Thursday night.

"I wouldn’t mind the IPL format, where you can go play for a different team … if you look at the IPL and the Big Bash, the guys love the Vic Bushrangers but some of the guys end up playing for the Queensland Twenty20 team.”

What do you think of this concept?

As Ox said on the run home "Id rather eat Bat Poo"

Whoever thought of this should invent one more "Bright Idea" and retire to a Polo Field !! Shocking concept!

All Commonwealth / Cricket playing countries have ovals available in Winter. Maybe the AFL geniuses should start with them? They also have a sporting link to Oz via cricket... etc.

If the AFL were to offer $500,000 prize money plus low level club support for winners of a domestic AFL footy comp in each of the current Cricket playing nations (i.e. NZ, SA, India, Packistan, England, Ireland, etc...).

Perhaps then the premier clubs or the all-star teams of each nation could then come to Australia in September and play a multi-national competition around the final series.

But no, let's reinvent the wheel... 

I'm not sure if all Commonwealth countries have suitable ovals, but I agree with the idea of starting with those that play cricket and must by definition have a "cricket oval". New Zealand is an obvious contender, although Rugby is obviously entrenched. Apparently a new cricket oval is being developed in Auckland which will be big enough for AFL.

Essendon and Adelaide are today talking about hosting a pre-season game in India. And South Africa strikes me as a logical location, too.

AFLX's implementation is further ahead than what it would seem. Check out Gil and his minions modelling the uniforms. Jolly good.

I'd be very surprised if this gets off the ground.
