AFLX revealed: Who your club plays and when

Re: AFLX revealed: Who your club plays and when

One tall each end of the field I think. Small rucks

Apparently North have tried Goldy and Preuss on the ground at the same time. They could throw Brown forward and really stretch teams

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

No interest in this what so ever.

Re: AFLX revealed: Who your club plays and when

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

I think for us it will be something like

Backs: Adams and Crozier
Mids: JJ, Dale and Trengove
Forwards: Boyd and Dahlhaus
Int: Biggs, Suckling and Hunter

Hopefully we only use our fringe players.

A serious injury in this joke comp would give me the shits big time.

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.

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.

I don't get all the negativity...it looks like a lot of fun.

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.
