I'll also be furious.   I don't accept the line that players are more likely to be injured during training etc.  When that happens at least they are preparing for playing footy.  They have to in order to play well during the season, not engaging in a ridiculous event to show how clever the AFL bosses are.

I wouldn't be surprised if both pulled out.

TMac - Toe

May - Hamstring tightness

Well, I guess I can live in hope.

Tommy's next...

Is it possible to pull a hamstring as a response to hearing your name called out by Eddie Betts?

I think a minor concussion is coming. Tommy did not perform to the required level during our random concussion testing program, no contact training recommended for 2 to 3. Such a shame he was looking forward to playing AFLXWYZ  or whatever it is called.

For those posters who have children or grandchildren who this product appears to be targeted at, it would be good to get your feedback on this site after the AFLX event (competition? tournament?) as to whether your children/grandchildren enjoyed it. It would be especially interesting if you were able to form a view as to whether it piqued any interest in those who previously had not shown much or any interest in AFL.

If it is for kids, why are they playing on a Friday night? Surely it would be better on a Saturday afternoon / evening.

Also, who's excited to see what Patrick Dangerfield wears as he enters the stadium?

Perhaps the target market is "older kids" - that is, teens and older - for whom a Friday night should work well. Or it's for the masses of international tourists without anything to do on a Friday night.

I'd click on that link except I don't want to encourage the idiots at AFL headquarters.  But I doubt my imagination will be worse than the real thing.


Whack. (Hopefully this Tweet, including the video clip is inserted properly- but if not, the text says it all...)

 

"I haven't talked about #AFLX much because I don't consider it to be a genuine competition," says @paulwkennedy. "I'd suggest that @aflwomens is way more important to the overall focus of Aussie Rules than some dodgy preseason competition that hardly anyone I know cares about."

Nah, but it's possible he dropped the bucket hat he was clutching,  when he heard the selection news...

On bending down to pick it back up, He, May well have done it, at that moment ?   ?

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.

 

Bluddoath.


Genuine injuries I'd say

Only a fool would pass up the opportunity to earn 20 thousand dollars for a 20- 30 minute tackle-free jog around

Might even be more than $20k ... who would know?  They are not doing it for nothing.

Free money ... give me some of that!

So we have an utterly meaningless AFLX to follow an utterly meaningless big bash.

there is no soul in either of these, and seven will try to make them ‘meaningful’.

I totally understand the popularity but UFC is barbaric mindless violence.  Anyone who gets off on that stuff needs help.  Quintessential gratuitious violence.

As for ESports - get a life I say.

I'm not a fan of either of them actually, but I'm also not arrogant enough to assume that something isn't worthwhile simply because I don't like it.

please elaborate

 

my point stands. just because you don't understand the appeal of something, doesn't make it a "silly past-time". its actually quite hilarious watching you older blokes band together like this and aggressively defend your opinions on things you clearly don't understand, or even care to understand on any level.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
