Fixture for AFLX has just landed, and we're kicking the night off against Carlton, and coming back later on to play North.

AFLX – Tournament Two
Date: Friday 16 February
Time: 6.40pm AEDT
Venue: Etihad Stadium

Pool A: Carlton, Melbourne and North Melbourne
Pool B: Hawthorn, Essendon and St Kilda

Match Order and Timings:
6.40pm – Carlton v Melbourne
7.08pm – Hawthorn v Essendon
7.36pm – North Melbourne v Carlton
8.04pm – Essendon v St Kilda
8.32pm – Melbourne v North Melbourne
9.00pm – St Kilda v Hawthorn
9.33pm – Grand Final

Depending on what sort of squad we send to it, we'd have to be a massive chance to at least make the GF playing those two.

Ugh.

You would not seriously pay for a ticket for this would you? Go if you must, and enjoy it if that's what floats your boat but if you can't score one of the 20,000 tickets they'll be handing out to stack a crowd what are you doing?

 

[TheCount]

I'll watch it, but only because I'm dying for some footy already. No way I'd fork out any hard earned for it tho.

 

[Willo 17]

A win would be good, don't care if it is tunnel ball.

 

[BG32]

No injuries pls

[Demon 16]

I don’t get it.

 

[Simon_Says]

This interests me as much as AFLX; Not at all

 

[LeverPuller]

Minor victory in this: we aren't one of the four sides having to travel outside of Vic for this rubbish.

Been a long time since I have seen some dees games so will probably watch it but similar to the preseason games I won't give too many sh*ts.

Hopefully we play some young guys and fringe players because it gives them a chance to show what they can do early.

 

[Proper Gander]

I don't really understand AFLX. I don't understand the rules. This could be because I haven't read them though.

In lieu of footy have the AFL equivalent of indoor cricket.

I played a couple of years of Indoor Cricket, great game, doesn't deserve that

At least indoor cricket features suburban randoms, not the test side a month before a series.

When I first saw the fixture posted on Facebook I thought it was a Betoota Advocate pisstake. Who schedules a grand final at 9.33pm?

I'm sure that's what the kids want – needless pedantry.

To be fair ... it'll be over before 10.

I just saw a video explaining the rules. That was painful enough.

Not worth the 0.0006% chance of a plane crash.

 

[Marc_Remillard]

What an abortion, almost as bad as the international rules

 

[PerfectFooty]

Our best chance at winning a Grand Final

 

[PerfectFooty]

* can we just bring back Lightning Premiership at Waverley please. If not still move the AFLX there, Waverley can hold an AFLX crowd at least
