  • 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.

Uggh. If it was winner in the first instance i would say AFLX has jumped the shark.

At lesat we are the only club who will have won the 'title' 

 

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.

Please stop this rubbish. Nobody wants it or needs it. 

A topline player will get injured sooner or later. 

For what purpose?

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.


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.

Omg. We don’t soccer to challenge AFL as the big threat. We will kill the game all by ourselves.

Care factor? Below Collingwood.

But wait there's more. 

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

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
