More tantalising details about the AFLX competition next year have been teased to the public, and apparently they will organise teams by attributes like speed and skill. It sounds like they're taking it pretty seriously because they got big names like Dangershank and he quite rightly did not make the #TeamSkill side.
Geelong and West Coast supporters will probably gravitate to #teamspeed, but for the rest of us it presents a mouthwatering dilemma.
I chose to be #teamspeed myself as I am quite fast in real life, whereas my AFLX skills actually aren't that good. If there was a #teamendurance then I would definitely go with that, as I have been an elite long distance runner at various stages.
Plus #TeamSkills just reminds me of the team in Dodgeball, and they didn't do very well.
AFL fans who can do pinpoint passes and round the corner zoopers in the backyard will identify more with #teamskill. It's really going to be a great competition, as we all identify with one more than the other.
Details as follows:
Team skill” will be the name of the all-indigenous side in the dramatically-revamped AFLX Series next year.*
The Herald Sun understands Adelaide superstar goal kicker Eddie Betts will captain the indigenous team in the four-team tournament on Friday, February 22 at Marvel Stadium.
There will be four captains, including Betts, who will hand-pick teams to play three round-robin games before the Grand Final at Marvel Stadium.
One of the captains is believed to include Geelong superstar Patrick Dangerfield. His team is believed to be called “Team Speed”.
The AFL will pre-select 100 players from which the team captains will hand-pick teams of 10 for the preseason matches.
St Kilda forward Jack Billings, who helped launch AFLX earlier this year before pulling out of the inaugural tournament with a hamstring complaint, said he was interested to learn more about next year’s plans but would be keen to take part.
“I’ll definitely be putting my hand up,” Billings said.
“It will be a great opportunity. I’m just not really sure how it will go so we’ll wait and see.”
