Am I mistaken or is this year's game like AFLX?

I believe it's being played at AAMI Park so the field will most likely be rectangular.

[DistrACTION Jackson 6,418]

What a waste of time.

Who gives a f@&*

[ArtificialWisdom 3,847]

Really fallen a long way the EJ game. A few years back I used to think it was great fun but I feel like year on year is been getting progressively worse. It needed a revamp....  But somehow I feel changing it to AFLX isn't going to help. 

[Sir Why You Little 34,430]

Cringeworthy

it used to be great because it was treated semi-seriously. now it's all a joke, scripted for the sake of it. and they've ruined it.

[Earl Hood 5,788]

This is not doing a lot for me I am afraid. All happening in slow motion. Amazing what age does to former athletes! 

[Kiss of Death 708]

Wow.. just wow. 

Beyond cringeworthy

[TeamPlayedFine39 8,154]

Where are all the ‘legends’?

Even... really good players???

 

 

[McQueen 17,862]

I know I have the choice to ‘not’ watch it but fair dinkum my ‘taste’ for entertainment and the of the AFL’s are faarrkking poles apart. 

[darkhorse72 1,720]

Haven’t seen it for a few years. Just switched it on before 3qtr time.  Where is there crowd? And why are they playing like geriatrics, they can barely move.  Looks like a few old guys having a kick to kick with no enthusiasm, then look at the score, wtf!! 

 

[McQueen 17,862]

Worse than AFLX and that’s saying something. 

[Ethan Tremblay 28,353]

Is there another game next week because it was a draw? 

[beelzebub 22,225]

Watched for 30 secs...game gone from a farce to a joke. Sad

[spirit of norm smith 12,886]

Yes I watched it for 10 minutes.  Sad to see legends deteriorate with age.  It should be players who retired in the last 5 years.  Jakovich could hardly move or bend.  He was a champion for the Eagles but needed a walking frame last night.  

[daisycutter 28,484]

what sort of footy was that?.......afly or aflz?

[Earl Hood 5,788]

Hey I fell asleep after half time does anyone know where I can find a replay of last nights game? Apparently it was a nail bitter finish!

Went to rubbish as soon as they started letting C & D grade "celebrities and comedians" have a run around.

 

[Elwood 3184 1,265]

Turned on just after half time and saw the scores. 

Switched off immediately.

[Dee Dee 1,043]

That really was a shocker: how so many go to seed, (Bob Murphy excepted).

I understand the late E.J. Whitten has made an appearance at AFL House threatening to haunt Gillon McLachlan for ever unless he promises never to put it on again!

 

[leucopogon 1,468]

I would much rather watch paint dry than subject myself to that farce ever again. The only thing missing was a masked man coming onto the field with a steel chair.

If it's going to be rigged anyway they need to go fully in this direction and turn it into a 100% sports entertainment spectacle.
