AFLX Revamped

[DeezNuts 624]

I know I’m gonna watch it (reluctantly) if there’s dees players - only because the footy drought is killing me... I wanna see how the lads are looking after their pre-season.

A gimmick, yes.. a risk to players in what is already a hugely taxing season proper, yes..

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

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

I had actually suspected that May and Jetta would be picked for the indigionous team, but a little suprised by Trac.  Milkshake was our 'AFLX star' in last years (cough cough) premiership.

Seriously about my only interest in this whole rubbish comp will be seeing how Nev and May go.  It's just a pitty that it falls such a long way short of the All Australian selection Nev deserves (hopefully that will be righted in years to come).

My only other interest is seeing Dangerflogs and Hodges side loose.  How anyone could pick an old, slow player like Hodge in this 'fast/high-speed game' is beyond me.

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. 

Players of eras gone by always talk about what an honor and achievemen  it was to play state of origin footy.  It was a real highlight of their careers.

Patrick Dangerflog has been pushing for a new pick your own team format of elite level rep sides for a number of years now.

At the end of their playing careers, few/no player will look back and say "remember that great AFLX game I played for Dangerflogs lightening bolts?"

I take it you'll all be watching the draft tonight.

[Demonland 65,984]

Nev designed the Indigenous team's jumper. 

 

[Demonland 65,984]

Apparently the pool of players to be picked for the teams nominated themselves to play. 

[Demonland 65,984]

Only 4 players from any one club can be chosen.

[Demonland 65,984]

4 Geelong players so far and no Demons.

[Demonland 65,984]

15 picks in and no Demons yet.

[Whispering_Jack 28,025]

If the AFLX Draft is anything to go by, the actual competition is going to put the nation to sleep.

[Demonland 65,984]

All 4 GWS players taken and still no Demons.

[Whispering_Jack 28,025]

The only Eagle picked so far is Gaff and he didn’t play in the premiership team.

[Demonland 65,984]

All 4 Hawks and still no Demons.

[Whispering_Jack 28,025]

Steven May picked ahead of Jesse Hogan - a win for the MFC.

[Demonland 65,984]

Steven May picked for Eddie's team at the end of Round 6.
