They are the Deadlys.My main interest is going to be the make-up of Eddie's team and who Don makes available/allows from the Crows

Hampton was actually one of our best players in last year’s AFLX games!Can we send them Hampton

It’s got me thinking, maybe AFLX might be a good exhibition period whereby only recent retirees can participate. Or if needing more players, then only non-AFL regulars are playing.
Surely, most fans would want to see their regulars saved up for the main season rather than playing in some gimmicky pre-season games?
4 per team is the max supplied to this Don said. Hopefully only Betts is playing if he must.My main interest is going to be the make-up of Eddie's team and who Don makes available/allows from the Crows
The best part of AFLX is the trialling of new players and to get a feel who our next best thing could be. Though the main issue in AFLX is that if you have the speed, then it’s much easier to burn off your opponents and with much more free space than with the usual AFL game.4 per team is the max supplied to this Don said.

Fairly good chance Stengel and McAdam will play though.
Which would get me having a look.

I get the feeling they’re not trialling AFLX format for the footy purists, but trialling to see how they can implement footy to other countries. The hint is that they’re using rectangular fields found everywhere in other countries, oval fields more unique to Australia.That’s hardly going to happen this year. Seriously, the AFL should be promoting the s**t out of AFLW, yet what are they doing? Trying their darndest to push this cringeworthy gimmick of a competition on us, despite the fact no one asked for it.

Except it will never take off. Its not a good game. Its like basketball with a massively oversized ring.
I fully expect if not next year then in the next 2-3 years, this years exact form (4 captains who pick teams of the competitions best) but to be played in New York. Just like the International rules played over there, it will be a raging success (for the big wigs who get fully paid trips to new york, no one else will care)
the cricket in the snow was full of old stars of the game and was a good watchIt's like those superannuation cricket matches you see played in baseball stadiums or in the snow.
