  • 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.

    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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
