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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
