Relax everyone. The AFLX is for the kiddies. 

If you’re over 18 years of age, look away.

That seems to be a correct assumption as a target market; however, I think the age bracket could be reduced to Under 12s at the maximum but this should be done with caution because it may erupt into an event of social divisiveness.

    The target audience are fat comic book nerds who still live at home that don’t normally watch sport.

    Recognising that now the tennis is over, footy ramps up, Melbourne's Herald Sun has a puff piece today of 50 things to watch for in season 2019. The most interesting one for me was the comment about Gill McLachlan having a "shocker" in 2018 and that he would need to perform better in 2019.  My own view is that, whether it's fair or not, he might be on shakier ground than the public realises with the AFL Commission expecting better than he's been able to deliver to date. The obsession with AFLX and its promotion ahead of AFLW is one example where I think he's misread the market. And while he deserves credit for what he's done with AFLW, he now risks reputational damage with the changes made (such as the conference system) and losing all the deserved praise. 

    If the new rule changes are considered to have "failed", I expect this time next year to be commenting on a new AFL Chief Executive.

    The four AFLX 2019 captains will build their superhero teams via a nationally broadcast Draft on Wednesday February 6. The Draft will be on 7Mate, Fox Footy, AFL.com.au & AFL Live App from 7pm AEDT. 

    Fair dinkum unbelievable.

     I call this the “reverse draft” because I’ll be watching it hoping that we don’t have any players picked.

    Does anyone know how this actually works in regards to how players get nominated for the draft? Do clubs list a certain amount available?

    Only thing I know is a limit of four players will be eligible from each club. I reckon we’ll hear Fritta’s name get called out.

    You're cynical Demonland. But that doesn't mean you're wrong.

    My interest level for AFLX is extremely low BUT if the AFL were interested in it having interest the best way I could see it happening is to have it as a State of origin deal and it moves location every year so each state gets to host it. 

    Would at least get some more interest from the random South Australian that hates Victoria. 

    These teams names and they way they're marketing it is so incredibly cringe worthy. It's like a parent trying to hard to connect with their kids.

    On the basis of an earlier post, I'd like to see the MFC make a stand and boycott this competition on the basis that one of the teams has been picked solely on the basis of race, while none of the other teams have. In this day and age of inclusion and racial tolerance, we should not be seen to be promoting race as a point of difference. I am really strongly opposed to this concept.

    If it had been a state of origin basis, as others have said, then ok - it would still be a [censored], but ok.

    The original concept was already pretty awful: this "revamp" by Gill and Shocking reminds me of the adage : "You can't polish a turd"!

    Only 3 Dees picked in the AFLX mock draft. May, Jetta and Petracca.

    I don't know whether to be insulted or relieved.

    That’s a great result for us.

    Hopefully May, Jetta and Trac report ‘general soreness’ on match-day and we can have a clean sweep!

    This putrid garbage is right up Dangerfields alley.

    Hes probably more excited about it than the actual season.

    Why can't I watch Eddie and his team on there ?

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
