    Don't really care about this. I'll watch only the Dogs games and that will be it.

    Re: AFLX revealed: Who your club plays and when

    When I've played 9s on a soccer pitch it is a massive advantage to have a tall to kick it too, but if North play with Brown, preuss and goldy they'll get cut up. The key is speed and agility. It's a small space and they won't be kicking to contests. 15m passes until someone gets a shot for 10 points from 40m, and you have one key forward as a bailout.

    As much as the whole gimmick is a joke, the ideal team for me would be something like
    FF: Ben Brown (over Daniher for accuracy)
    HF: Wingard/Greene/Rioli (basically a quick high pressure forward. No Menzel or Stringer types)
    Mids: Merrett (great skills), Kelly (run run run), Danger (he's Danger)
    HB: elite skills are the most important trait here - playing on a soccer pitch you can get it straight to your tall forward in one kick. Shaw is a headcase but would be a good fit.
    FB: any of Hurley/McGovern/Rance

    Might have a look when the Dogs are playing but otherwise bring on the regular pre season AFL games.

    Wait...We're using our AFL team to play this shitheap game? I assumed there'd be AFLX specialists or something.

    X-factor: The players set to light up AFLX

    Western Bulldogs

    Brad Lynch: With the Bulldogs yet to establish who will take part in the series, the West Australian appears one player ideally suited to the format. The third-year rookie has explosive pace, elite agility, is a sound kick on both feet and loves to run and gun off half-back. Draftee Ed Richards possess similar attributes, and the defensive playmaker has had a sound pre-season, so the club may ease him into senior footy via the exhibition series. Livewire forward Luke Dahlhaus has a point to prove after an indifferent 2017 campaign, and the 25-year-old should be a natural in this form of the game.

    Definite starters: TBA

    Definite outs: Roarke Smith

    Re: AFLX revealed: Who your club plays and when

    Let the kids like Richards, Lynch, Lipinski, English etc and fringe types like Gowers, Roberts, Suckling etc run around.

    No blue chip best 18 types allowed.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Re: AFLX revealed: Who your club plays and when

    My ideal Bulldogs side (not caring about winning, protecting our best players) would be:
    Def: Collins, Richards
    Mid: Dale, Webb, Crozier
    Fwd: Redpath, Greene
    Int: Lynch, Lipinski, ???

    Suckling for the last spot. This type of thing is made for him.

    Re: AFLX revealed: Who your club plays and when

    Would be ridiculous to use any best 22 players in this, but I would bet the AFL will have pressured clubs to provide at least half of their 'squad' with best 22 talent.
