I hope our club stays far away from that c#%$ 

Just start the season?

I understand the club is prioritising AFLX 3 and treating the home and away season as a form of experimentation - hence the 3-5 start to the season.

Well it's one way to get the attention of the Gen Z's/youth market

Why would clubs "bid" for a licence in a competition that they already own?

This isn't the IPL.

Somewhere in this comp there might be a game of sorts but the marketers are being let run wild

LOL.   The head honchos  AFL House always thinking with their wallet.

The game is going down the tubes.

Is it time to dust off the anti-Vietnam war slogan, "Suppose they Gave a War and Nobody Came"?

Let’s hope we don’t bid.

I think there's a typo. Actually the clubs have to bid to NOT get an AFLX licence.

Not that I give a toss, but probably a good idea.

However ..... that will only give Shocking / Gillon an opportunity to dream up some other monstrosity.  I am sure they have it in them to make something far worse.

We could bid 42 x slightly used MFC blazers.

Nah, that's too much

Rance, Dangerfield and Fyfe will be spewing.

Oh no!

It feels just like when I lost that pair of socks with big holes in them.  WGAF

Didn't I just read that Shaun Smith has criticised the organisation of the 2019 EJ Whitten Game for converting it to AFL-X in format? I've always believed that there's a place for AFL-X, but this isn't it. I see it as a simplistic game played overseas as a way of accommodating amateur players, where there are smaller numbers playing (so it allows for reduced team sizes) playing on rectangular fields. But I wouldn't care if it died a nautural death, either.

Gee whiz, 3-5. Back when there was still a glimmer of hope.

Officially dead. 

 

Alex Rance dislikes this news. 

Bayley Fritsch is the ?

AFLX is just the kind of outcome you can get when you don’t allow things to get tested on animals first.
