  • 4 Teams hand picked by 4 Captains.
  • One team will be an All Indigenous side captained by Eddie Betts called Team Skill.
  • One team will be captained by Patrick Dangerfield and will be called Team Speed.
  • The AFL will pre-select 100 players of which the 4 captains will pick 10 players for their teams. 

 

For once I will be quite happy for us to sit this one out.

It could possibly be a plan to have so many guns in rehab or with interupted pre seasons. Can’t pick them if not fully fit ?

a bad idea that got even worse... one really has to wonder whether the AFL is up to running this sport.

Take a lesson from T20.. expose the public via the lower leagues. If it takes off then bring in the higher leagues.

The concept is infantile...which can be fun, but not in this case. It’s a schoolyard concept and that’s where it belongs.

Many have commented that it seems to be a deliberate policy of the AFL to soak up the media space whether it be by trading periods, the draft, AFLX or whatever.

Other sports just cannot get any free air.

This makes last years AFLX look like a genius idea. 

My only hope is that we offer not one player and then Dangerfield does a shoulder and we will see how long this [censored] concept lasts for. Imagine the uproar from Carlton if Cripps gets injured. You can handle injuries, just, if they are playing for your side but to have one in a ‘made-for-tv spectacular’ would be a travesty. 

My AFLX idea is to get the AFL executive each tied to a X and we could pick players (mine would be Sam Frost) and he can kick torps from 2m into said executive. You score by how close ball impacts nut. 

Just shows how out of touch the AFL is. This is [censored]!

Happy to sit this one out, too - just to remove the unnecessary differentials implied. End of story.

So which fans would possibly turn up to watch this rubbish?. 

You can't even support your team any more.

Country teams are screaming out for financial support, teams are folding and Gil spends money on this?

I hope if any of our players are roped into this farce, they jog around half assed and dont risk injury. This sort of thing has no actual football value for the clubs. The AFL is the only likely winner from this as they have more TV games to sell in the off season.

I mean, dont they even care about their already shredded reputation any more? And they want teams to get out of pokies ffs.

Money-spinning farce.

Because AFL.

When will they stop tinkering with the classic aspects of our game? For the love of god! 

Just throw that one year tradition out the window.

Loads of cash for the players and super hero themed teams

You can't make this stuff up. 

 

Here's the point of it all...I suspect "super hero theme" is code for players linked to the Marvel franchise. What a surprise.

How do the AFL manage to take something that absolutely no one liked, then remodel it and produce something that absolutely no one liked..?

I suspect that this is the alternate plan after the failed attempt to dress the AFLW players up in Marvel themed costumes/jumpers was howled down. .

Im actually astounded that they have managed to make AFLX worse.

 

Team Speed and Skill? Really?

I might watch it, but I also look at car crashes and natural disasters, maybe that's just me, I do hope none of our players play.

This is what happens when you pay people too much money to do a simple job. 

Bizarre

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
