Re: AFLX revealed: Who your club plays and when
The silver footy has already been axed.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

How sick were the behind goal pyrotechnics?
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Watching a bit of Saints v Bombers on delay. ****ing ordinary spectacle. Commentary even worse.
The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

Re: AFLX revealed: Who your club plays and when
So after a well thought out competition to appeal to those with short attention spans the AFL is now considering changing the AFLX competition to have it's version of the NBA All Stars.
Apparently some select players will choose their sides from the playing pool.
I see no sense in this and I hope we push back hard. I guess the AFL needs to justify the travel expense of the executives who head off to the US to find ways of messing with the game. We don't need this at all.

It is hard to see the point, when there is no valid point.
The AFL are just trying to find someway to generate more dollars with no concern for the game.
They also are finding ways for the highly paid players to be paid more, with a cut for their own executives on the way through.

Just say no.
If they want a rep side, the game type that works in Australia is State of Origin. If this is another genius idea from David Stevenson then I question why we hired him as CEO.

Re: AFLX revealed: Who your club plays and when
The only interest for me was getting a first look at the recruits and younger players, but because the context was so different I quickly lost interest.
I’d sooner watch an AFL player state of origin cricket tri-series (stacks of blokes that were promising junior cricketers before they settled on the Sherrin). Actually, that is probably a great charity event in the making.

That's not a bad idea at all. It's much better than the stupid one the AFL has come up with here.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

We used to play the Storm players in a 20 over game at St.Albans fc every year under Rocket but Macca canned it , it was awesome , packed crowd , both sides players mingling in the crowd.

Not happy to see the 'Bont' named on the list. I would be really pissed if something put a dent in his season.

Even worse is that, as VC, he is likely to have some pull when picking in the “live draft” and that would probably mean he suggests at least a few of our players.

Re: AFLX revealed: Who your club plays and when
If the AFL wants to push this crap pick kids that just missed the draft they would be enthusiastic to show their skills or recent ex players.
It could be its own comp.

Re: AFLX revealed: Who your club plays and when
I don't know of too many people who want their players even in the comp.
I'd rather see a couple of practice games or even intra club games than AFL X
A poor idea from the start just got worse
