It was up to the individual player whether or not they nominate for the AFLX ‘draft’ so there’s no need to exaggerate the injury list to playing. 

I spoke to Goodwin about the competition, he just said it’s a bit of fun and he was happy if certain players wanted to nominate to play. At the moment he’s must concentrating on the season proper, and as I’ve said all along, he’ll pick his best 22 based on who’s had the best pre-season. 

Some of your fine work right there ET ?

That was the info I had, I know Nev wanted to play, but was 'advised' because of his training load up to now not to

Think most didn't want to risk injury with the competition for spots going to be hot

Not sure if this has been posted yet (not overly interested in reading through 16 pages of AFLX discussion), but I've got strong word that McDonald is being replaced by Fritsch. 

Would prefer if he was replaced by anyone from any other club.

Can our guys just pull out like the Hawks appear to have done?

Oddly enough what you've just said is probably true ET.

And AFLX is galvanising otherwise sworn enemies on 'land.  A peace has transcended over the place.

There’s the confirmation. Happy that McDonald’s pulled out; I have fewer concerns about Fritsch’s durability.

Great news - TMac has withdrawn from the AFLX game.

Bad News - he's having minor knee surgery.

Good News - The surgery will not stop him playing JLT or miss any home & away games.

Bad News - Bailey Fritsch is his replacement in AFLX.

I don't necessarily think it's bad news Freitch is playing in place of McDonald and I'm much happier with this situation.

As much as I don't under rate Freitch as a player, we have a number of other players that can play a similar role and I don't think he is as critical to our structure as Mc Donald.

Where Freitch is at, it's probably good additional experience that adds to his development and although this comp gets less elite by the day, it's probably also a pretty decient complement to how he is veiwed capability wise as a player in his second year of AFL.

A bit like Jetta.

Whilst the club obviously entertained the notion of letting some of our star players take part in this joke football, it's pretty apparent that the MFC had the priority and we weren't going to take even small risks with players that are not absolutely cherry ripe. 

Perhaps the surgery mentioned is McDonald getting the dressing changed on a minor abrasion to his knee or something.

I think this could be a shrewd move by Goodwin????

By putting Bailey in with some of the best in the competition it shows he belongs.

Might just give him that extra little kick along.

I'm not a fan of AFLX at all but in this case we may be well using it to our best advantage.

Teams as at the time of posting.

The teams should be the Indigenous, the Hipsters, the Tatts and the Manbuns.

Not a fan?  Can you point me towards anyone that is a fan rjay?  It almost goes without saying (the not a fan bit)

But these sorts of ventures often end up with some sort of fan base ... don't ask me how but it could come under the 10% rule.

Just heard on radio Nat Fyfe explaining that "AFLX is just in its intimacy". Name change to AFL-XXX must be imminent.

'Live' tonight on Fox is the E-League (goes for 3 hours) ... A-League soccer clubs are represented by contracted players in the EA Sports FIFA video game. 

Are we supposed to actually 'barrack' somehow?  What do they do in place of tossing a coin? 

The world we live in hey.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
