AFLX squad

[Elegt 872]

Our 2018 AFLX squad was pretty strong so to prepare for 2019 I'd be interested to know peoples best squads

for me I'd select 

Tmac, melksham, viney, harmes, oliver, frost, hibberd

b: jetta, VDB, ANB

[Bring-Back-Powell 15,364]

I'm already having sleepless nights thinking about how we're going to defend our title.

[DistrACTION Jackson 10,425]

I would select everyone other than our most important players....

I'm comfortable coming last in AFLX

haven't slept since February 2018, our whole 2018 season was preparation for the 2019 AFLX

[Jibroni 5,048]

Back to back here we come!

[Ethan Tremblay 31,274]

MelXham won the AFLX Brownlow last season so he’s the only walk-up start.

Noooooo way this joke of a comp cost Tmac 6 weeks at the start of the year. 

Pretty much cost us top 4 too.

I'd rather win the AFLX than have T Mac available for 6 meaningless home and away games.

I see what you did there.

Well played sir. Well played.

Yeah exactly, AFLX is what we all dreamed of winning growing up as kids 

[Deeman 1,550]

Based on Preussy's classic rag dolling of T Mac in last year's AFLX, surely he is a must for inclusion.

[Demonland 73,879]

I think we should retire champs and refuse to participate. 

[Little Goffy 14,795]

Maybe this is why so many delistings. This way, we will have plenty of new kids with nothing better to do with their time and a chance to show a bit without anyone really caring about the result. They can fill the AFLX numbers, fans get a look at them, and none of our core group faces the daft risk.

All a cunning plan.

AFLX is no time for kids mate, only the best of the best get gifted the opportunity to play on the glorious night

We won the first one,  thats all that matters, no one will remember who wins the rest.  Cause we'll be the quiz night questions answer "winner "Melbourne" 

I think it was important last year to build confidence.  It also helped us in practise some precise kicking and the run to break zones towards the forward line.   The format is not that taxing on the players compared to a traditional preseason game.  The downside is you can't use them to refine your game style is the real thing.

You have my vote

Everybody make this your homework for this weekend. We need to defend this title.

goodwin will get the sack if we don't go back to back

[Dee Zephyr 19,290]

Are we actually doing this?

Here goes....

Hunt, Baker, Stretch, Melksham (C), Fritsch,Preuss, J Smith.

Bench: Wagner, JKH, Garlett.

Did Jennings coach us to the championship?

[La Dee-vina Comedia 17,074]

I'm already desperate for some footy. But I'm not that desperate. 

Having said that, I think there is a future for the AFLX concept, but just not with AFL present-day players. I can see it being a useful product to offer in non-AFL markets where finding appropriate oval grounds can be problematic. It's sort of like an Auskick for adults.

Not exactly silverware but it's still a kind of ware.

... at least get 4-5 solid pages of meltdowns in 'is Goodwin the right guy' thread.
