One would have thought that chipping away at the integrity, traditionalism and rules of the game would satisfy the league administrator.
Alas, there is also a desire to cannibalize its own successful brand to produce a new product that there is no demand for.
Cricket somewhat successfully addressed its irrelevance by developing 20/20, which was a necessary step for survival.
AFLHQ should take a good look at itself and understand that AFL is quickly losing its unique identity.

If (and a big if) cheap gimmicks are needed to attract new faces to the game
And if something like AFLX means these gimmicks stay out the real stuff
Then I want something along the lines of AFLX. Not to watch, but to preserve the game from stupid restrictions on where players can run to and the like.

Initially I thought it was a bad idea. But realistically our game does need to game, so concepts like AFLX provide a good opportunity to tinker around. Eventually (in the AFL) will see rules implemented around players picking up the ball practically uncontested, so the AFLX will hopefully get us there - eventually.

So basketball basically? I won't be following it anymore if that's the case
If it's played on a soccer field what's to stop people just bombing from one end to the other? A Dustin Fletcher or two would be worth their weight in gold for games like this.
I'm intrigued how they can run a lightning premiership with teams split over thee states?

AFLX revealed: Who your club plays and when
Nat Edwards November 17, 2017 4:00 PM
AFLX, the League's high-octane version of the sport, will debut on February 15 next year with the AFL including traditional soccer and rugby venues among the venues for three separate round-robin tournaments.
The modified game will be played in three cities across three nights, with six AFL clubs represented in each competition.
AFL.com.au can exclusively reveal that Adelaide will host the first round-robin at Hindmarsh Stadium on a Thursday night, the week before the JLT Community Series begins.
The Crows and Port Adelaide will be joined by Collingwood, West Coast, Fremantle and Geelong in the first ever AFLX tournament.
The fast-paced game will then head to Melbourne's Etihad Stadium on February 16, where the Demons, North Melbourne, St Kilda, Carlton, Hawthorn and Essendon will compete under Friday night lights.
The action then heads north to Allianz Stadium in Sydney on Saturday, February 17 when the Swans, Greater Western Sydney, the Brisbane Lions, Western Bulldogs, Richmond and Gold Coast will face off.
AFLX was trialled by North Melbourne during last year's pre-season, while VFL clubs Port Melbourne and Coburg have also experienced the shortened format.
AFL general manager of game development Andrew Dillon said AFLX was an exciting alternative that could be used to take the game overseas.
"AFLX has been created to provide us with the options to play a form of the game in places where oval grounds are limited and to showcase our game internationally at a point in the future," Dillon said.
"Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide have each been chosen to host the individual tournaments with six clubs playing against each other in a round-robin format.
"The decision to hold three individual tournaments during the men's 2018 pre-season period has been chosen to introduce clubs, their players, their fans and the wider public to the AFLX game,” he said.
All 18 AFL clubs were provided with an AFLX document on Friday afternoon, which outlines the fixture and format of the tournament.
Clubs are yet to be shown a detailed brief of all the rules, but will be informed in due course.
Each AFLX tournament will consist of six teams, divided into two pools of three.
Teams in the same pool will play against each other once, with the top team from each pool facing off in a Grand Final.
Games will consist of two 10-minute halves with a two-minute break at half-time.
AFLX will be played on a rectangular field with dimensions similar to that of a soccer field, with 10 players per team.
It is a seven-a-side format with three players on the bench and there is no limit to rotations.
In order to create a fast and free-flowing game, the last touch out-of-bounds rule has been introduced, while the ball will be kicked in after all scores.
To promote high scoring, the League has also introduced a 10-point super goal for majors kicked from outside the 40m arcs.
Two field umpires will adjudicate the shorter format, while two boundary umpires and two goal umpires will also be required.

On face value, I'm quite skeptical of the 10 points for outside 40m rule. It seems a recipe to reduce the game to long pot shots....I reckon it could work if you were to shorten the gap between the goal posts
Anyway, you'd think hindmarsh would sell out at least

AFL invented AFL X as a sport that we can take overseas...then why wouldn't they just take International Rules overseas?

It looks like a way to trial out a bunch of s**t rules that no one wants. Kinda like normal pre-season games.

The Etihad and Allianz matches are weak on paper. The one at Hindmarsh looks strong.
Shame teams will only play their 7-10 most likely to be delisted and I can't blame them.

Didn't realise there would be so many teams playing against each other. Feels a lot like a lightning premiership.
The more teams at a stadium = the more people interested in going I guess. Even if clubs just play C graders, each club only needs to bring 5K diehards along like a normal pre-season match and then it's a 30K event at a place like Etihad, which isn't bad for football in Feb I guess.

AFL.com.au has the buzzwords down pat;
high-octane version of the sport, fast-paced game, exciting alternative, fast and free-flowing game,
but the bit I particularly liked; Clubs are yet to be shown a detailed brief of all the rules, but will be informed in due course.
(cos no one at AFL House can be stuffed codifying this unwanted pre-season interruption).
Hey an unnecessary gimmick, but the important thing is that it generates bonuses for the AFL executive.

Too many people bashing this because its change and no one likes change.
If most humans had it their way we would still be living in caves grunting at each other.
I'm interesting to see how it will pan out and think its a nice change to spice up the pre season. It might be s**t, but it may turn out good.
