Draft itself might have been the only thing worth watching of it and only for a few laughs.

No Jake Melksham, no AFLX, Jake Melksham is AFLX.
Note to Nat Fyfe: Aliir Aliir is a much better Ruck than Marcus Bontempelli..

There was 7 on the field last year. Looks like they have increased it by one. Then I suspect they'll have another year of data to work with

Not really sure what you classify Aliir Aliir as then....
Ok, least it is step in right direction. They mentioned changes they made but did not say that was one of them. One more will still not be enough but if they keep changing they may get there in two or three years.

We want inclusion for all races etc but for AFLX aborigines can only play for one side. Even if you wanted an all -aboriginal side it shouldn't stop the other sides from picking an aboriginal player. FMD how dumb are these w***ers at the AFL.
Cant wait for the commentators when commentating eddie betts side to keep saying s**t like:
1. How gifted they are
2. How magical they play
3. Just have a natural instinct for this

It’s a piece of marketing fluff - not a formal competition with a merit-based selection process. Who cares how they divvy up?
Because this thread is an opportunity for people to find new angles to get offended and outraged by the AFLX in a safe and supportive environment.

The thing that gets me about the racial team selections, besides the discrimitory nature, is that it promotes an 'us vs them' mentality which is already a major problem in Australia.

The leader of the bunch.
I'm hoping to see AFLX themed Ninja Turtles figurines released. The turtle blimp will have the Gatorade logo on it.

didn't think of that, they will now have AFLX representative on their resume like it means something. They listed 'Lightning Premiership Player' for the players when they held that event once
I wasn't too into the AFLX concept but I enjoyed the program and I thought they all went about it in a good spirit. Generally enjoy Nat Edwards who was probably the only reason the show ran pretty smoothly.
It's also quite obvious that Jack Riewoldt is a fair bit smarter than his fellow panel members. I definitely see coaching in his future if he decides to go that way.
As for Team Deadly - I would not have organised it that way myself but for a glorified exhibition game I think you just let it go. Possible improvement within the format would be just let Eddy nominate 12 players before hand and all other indigenous players are available for everyone to choose from. Incidentally that's pretty similar to the first 10 picks in the national draft.

Yeah sorry didn't see him. Complete misunderstanding on my behalf. There is no racism in these teams whatsoever

After seeing the teams that are lining up, I'm actually thinking of watching now.
It will be scrapped after this year and thank god too, everyone hates it and the AFL knows it.
Seriously getting my back waxed when this is on, just praying for no injuries to any players in this complete waste of time.

If they just changed the stupid names to WA, SA, VIC, NSW, QLD and then had a captain from each state where that captain can only choose from that states pool of players. Suddenly, it's alot more interesting imo.
