No thanks. Would hate to see a young gun struck down by injury in that silly format.
Can’t help but feel all it’s going to take for clubs to put their foot down is an injury.
But is it any tougher than what they do at training? It’s supposed to be more free-flowing and fast, so I thought it wouldn’t be that bad from an injury point of view (less contact and more bruise-free). The players are going to be having plenty of tough contact in training I would think.

If it is fast and bruise free I am guessing knee and ankle injuries are at greater risk. Running and turning at faster speeds etc.

Yeah. Injuries are often non contact, especially nasty ones. Rupturing Achilles’ tendons, Acls etc often ‘just happen’ - I think gws just lost one of theirs to such an injury.

And contact rules don't prevent high-speed contact injuries, merely penalise them after the fact.
So who plays?

think it is a ballistic style non-stop format - get some ks into the legs quickly
Fixed.
Wow. So let’s play the b graders ‘to protect the A graders and young players’. That’s embracing the new format..won’t the AFL be rapt with that.
I’d prefer our youngsters play. It will build up their endurance and get them used to executing their skills when going flat out.

Should be able to "draft" a seperate list for AFL X. Lucas Boekhurst Gorringe Yarran Smith DVR etc may have thrived in this comp
Agreed, better off paying a couple of clubs cash to lend a couple of good players and fill the rest up with recent delistees and restirees

Hughes and Rogers were years ahead of their time...
I would imagine all clubs now incorporate all the pre-season funny bugger formats into the official training regime. AFLX will be no different. Will be all about seeing what the young players can do and getting minutes / Kim's into them.
If they weren't playing in this format they'd still be training, so the risk of injury is about the same.

Fair enough, but I have a question: who's Kim, and what are they fitting into themselves?

I can’t imagine they will be running and turning at any greater speed than at training.
The exact same comments were put out there when T20/Big Bash were introduced.Now 50 overs cricket is in the gun,times change. There is so much going on these days,people want fast entertainment.It will work now just except it.
Seems my autocorrect knows more women that I do!
I see where your coming from and it's a genuine concern. Long term if people take to it, which if it's entertaining/family orientated they will, we could end up with a cricket model. Best short term teams and long.
Being a Scorchers (best team thanks Langer)member from day dot if AflX can replicate this watch out
