[Unity-28]

[SpiderBurton22]

Sounds like a crock of s**t, designed by the AFL and telecast partners to drag out content throughout the year and maximize revenue.

Think this will be a small mans game and skills. We are ****ed then

I say we throw in the towel on the season and bank the draft pick while we begin training and strategizing for AFLX. With 2 months head start on everyone else, we could scoop some September silverware.

If they're worried about he week off prior to the finals then get rid of it.

Don't just fill it with crap.

 

[longyroos]

Xavier Tanner (c)
Xavier Richards
Max Warren
Max Hudghton
Max Bailey
Max Gawn
Max Rooke

Bit tall for a fast pace game, Warren adds some much needed pace.

Play the 7 players set to be delisted.

I'm not going to diss it until I've seen but I do have some reservations about it working.

Big bash works because it fills a hole. People love their cricket but didn't have a team in any sort of "meaningful"competition (other than Australia) to get behind. (Not saying Sheffield Shield isn't meaningful to purists but the average punter couldn't give a rats). BBL didn't create a market, the love of cricket was already there, they just provided a product the market wanted.

AFLX wont bring new people to the game, they will need to rely on existing AFL followers to support the game. Most AFL punters would have mentally switched off from their team if they haven't made finals so its debatable if they will want to attend. If the AFL wants to draw a crowd, its going to be hard. BBL is good to watch on TV because the crowds are big and the atmosphere comes through the broad cast. If you've got AFLX playing on a soccer sized pitch in the middle of the an empty AFL stadium its going to be crap viewing. If the AFL play it at smaller rectangle stadiums you need to change the mind set of the AFL punter to go to a different stadium.

One good thing is that with only 1 ump we might see some big behind the play hits!

 

[Snake_Baker]

Dumont (captain)
Anderson (vice captain)
Daw
Fordham
Wagner

Tarryn Thomas

I doubt we will delist that many.

 

[Harris 10]

This has to go down as one of the dumbest ideas that's ever come out of the AFL and there has been a few.

The X stands for Xtra Cash.

 

[muttley45]

This concept will probably earn Simon Lethlean a very healthy bonus

Totally agree. Did you hear the way Hutchy introduced Damo "with the biggest news story in football for a very long time" last night. It was like a paid advertorial.

I saved my braincells by not watching that s**t.

There are far more enjoyable ways to kill braincells!

Tarrant, Higgins, Ziebell, M Williams, Atley, Daw, McDonald, Mullett, Wood, Garner. But the concept is s**t so who cares? Bring back state of origin instead.

 

[Pykie]

So the AFL claims clubs don't want their players playing origin in case of injury and the schedule is packed, yet they are going to play this crap?

Sounds like no clubs on board with this circus.

I hope it stays that way.

This might be awesome. But I fear it's going to be a stupid time waster. Who actually suggested that people wanted this?

Since when did the peoples "wants" matter in the AFL..............or in this country?

 

[El Triggso]

Harper
Anthony
Campbell
Urquhart
Warren
Hay
Calthorpe

This team would adequately reflect the seriousness with which this comp should be taken.
