  • 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.

    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.

    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

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
