Our first taste of 'football' since the grandfinal AFL X kicks off this weekend in Sydney as we take on GWS (4:10pm) and Brisbane (5:06pm) win both 'matches' and it's another 'Grand Final' for us (7:03pm)
Who would you like to see make the team and what do we want to see? Just go through the motions and get out injury free or the kids have a genuine crack? Or should we take it super serious like some of the other minnow teams seem to be doing.
Team:
Callum Moore: The athletic forward has the mix of speed and aerial ability to make his mark on AFLX. With two games to his name, the 21-year-old has been developing quietly in the VFL in his first two seasons, but he is making a case this pre-season to step up in 2018 as a second tall forward. In a format that will reward quick players who can also compete in the air, the Tigers believe Moore will be their secret weapon in an under-23 line-up.
