Damn. Was hoping that Sedat Sir and Zeno Tzatzaris would get picked up from the Dogs and nobody else.

The only injury I'd hope for is Dangerfield to get severed vocal chords so we never have to listen to his horseshit ever again.
I could have sworn he was the same dickhead who complained only a few months ago about the season being too long, and now he's ponying up for this garbage. Amazing what a fistful of pineapples can do

Only redeeming benefit might be for Marcus and Lachie to strike up a friendship with Nathan to encourage him join our midfield in 2020.

Re: AFLX revealed: Who your club plays and when
As much as the concept is stupid the intensity of the matches and likelihood of injury should only be at about the level of the match simulation they regularly do at training. I'm not overly concerned.

Yeah - I thought Macrae and JJ would 100% be selected.
The 4x captains were 100% selecting off a 'list' of sorts though and my guess is that not every player had been made available. For example - Martin was not selected and whilst I have no idea of his injury situation surely he would have been the number 1 pick?
I would guess each club had to submit a list of eligible players with the understanding that only 4x of them could be selected.
Again - I am in the minority but I thought the draft was fun. I am generally very annoyed by Dangerfield but thought he was good in this format and I actually loved the way he started off just picking his Geelong team-mates. The whole 'I kicked 10 on him last year' stuff by Reiwoldt was funny (though I doubt Steven May agreed after it was mentioned another 10+ times).
Shame Wood didn't get on the same team as Bont and Lachie.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

Do not like.
He can ruck if he does not compete for the ball and plays as an extra mid.
He has no obligation to do that 'for the team' so Fyfe can do it himself or sook Cameron can do it

I can't begin to tell you how much I loathe and despise this AFLX nonsense.
It's absolutely pathetic.
The souls and minds of people whom invent this stuff are among the shallowest and weakest and lamest on the planet.

The 'ruck' is little more than a glorified jump ball. He's probably safer there than he is in the forward line.

Bring back the old pre season cup. Sure there was a risk of injury but you were playing for something and getting some good game time.

Wouldn't they get Aliir Aliir to do that at some point?

I can't help myself, each new brain fart I spot about this grotesque joke makes me boil more than the last.
I for one cannot wait until the live crosses to the official realestate.com.au AFLX Players' Zooper Red Carpet brought to you by Gatorade. We'll be right back after a word from our sponsors ...

Just not that interested in the AFLX. I’m waiting for the proper pre season Bulldog games.
