No surprise ... the AFL is cashed up. Tens of millions of dollars to spare.  50k per captain is a mere drop in the ocean.

250k per captain might surprise.  And no,  I am not a cheerleader.  This is what they are going to.  It is like Coca Cola,  Philip Morris,  CUB,  the TAB or KFC coming out with a new product.  Junk sells.

And any number of clubs are selling free access to poker machines ... and that has been going on for decades. Yes,  our club is getting out of them but other clubs will stay with the cash-cow's.

By comparison to all that,  AFLX is quite harmless.

Dangerfield will still find a way to weasel himself out of playing despite pocketing the 50K.

As long as none of OUR players are harmed.

Our players are willing participants with the clubs blessing.  If you've got a problem with that contact the club and air your grievances. 

If they somehow get injured playing 20 - 40 minutes of tackle-free footy then that's just sheer bad luck.  I reckon there's much more chance of a player getting injured at simulated practice at Gosch's.  And simulated practice happens quite regularly.

Not usually........ The heat got to me yesterday. That's my excuse.

Which reporter will be the first to leak?

 

Dangerfield kept trying to pick himself. 

The mock AFLX draft only had 3 Dees players, and two are in the indigenous team (May and Nev). Only other was Trac.

 

We'll see how it goes on Wednesday.

A NOMINATED player will have the power to kick a 20-point supergoal and potentially win his side the game in the dying stages of a match in this year's AFLX tournament.

The 'Gatorade game changer' will have his score worth double during the last five minutes of a match, with each team having the opportunity to select a particular player in that role.

A behind will be worth two points, a six-point major recorded as 12 points and a 10-point supergoal will become 20 points from the game changer in the competition to be played at Marvel Stadium on February 22.

A 10-point supergoal can be scored in two ways: either when a player from the attacking team kicks the ball from anywhere within or behind the launch zone (pictured in graphic below) OR when the ball is kicked within or behind the launch zone and is marked inside the 15-metre forward zone by a teammate who then scores a goal.

After teams nominate their game changers with five minutes to play, the match will stop for 30 seconds for game changers to get in position, with the team in possession to retain the ball after the break. If the ball is in dispute, the umpire will throw it up where the game was stopped.

Another rule adaptation for AFLX will see players have just 10 seconds to take their set-shot kicks for six-point or 10-point goals when the mark is taken outside the 40m arc, in a bid to speed up the game.

None of the AFLX sides – Team Deadly, Team Rampage, Team Flyers and Team Bolts – will have coaches but there will be high performance staff from AFL clubs to help manage player loads, initiate rotations and lead warm-ups, among other duties. 

Other rule changes and adaptations include:

• Each team will have 14 players: eight on the field, six on the interchange bench (no interchange limit), up from the 10 players per side in 2018.
• The field umpire will throw the ball up to begin play at the start of each half and after a supergoal is scored.
• A player has the opportunity to play on from out of bounds after the 'last touch' rule.
• Players can run 20m without taking a bounce or touching the ball on the ground.

I didn't think it was possible to make AFLX more of a joke. Well played AFL.

What compensation do teams get if their stars are injured?  Imagine if Dangerfield busts something, and Betts blows out a knee.  Could have serious implications on the series proper.  Hope none of our lads grace this stupidity with their presence

Post-modern marketing brilliance.

How do we keep eyes on the AFL in the off-season?

AFLX?

Turns out nobody is interested, boss.

Okay, well how about we just come up with the most ridiculous ideas imaginable.

Score! People won't stop talking about it.

Don't you mean quadruple double zinger zooper score?

Sadly no.

They missed a couple of opportunities with those rule changes. If the game really is intended for foreign markets such as Europe and the USA, obviously they should change to a round ball because the traditional shaped ball is too hard for the inexperienced and not readily available in those markets anyway. And given those northern hemisphere winters, it should be played indoors, in which case traditional goals would be no good, so put a ring on top of a pole at each end of the ground. They want to remove the bounce at the beginning of each quarter, so lets just throw the ball up at the start.

"FREMANTLE superstar Nat Fyfe says he has avoided serious damage to his troublesome elbow after being forced from the training track at Cockburn on Monday."

Phew. For a moment there I thought they were training at a place called Elbow and he had an injury of a different sort.

Gatorade game changer!!!  Whose brilliant idea was that FCS??

As referred to earlier, the turd remains totally unpolished.

Will anyone actually watch this rubbish?   Gil has totally lost the plot.

Looks like Steve & Dill have been busy today hitting the like button. There is no way they get 3,000plus legitimate likes...

Looking at the AFL Facebook post last night it was hard to find a positive comment (I think I found one) on AFLX most far from complimentary.
