  • 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

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
