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.

perfectly acceptable opinion. money doesn't prove it's not silly. ask kardashian or mafs for proof

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.

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.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
