AFLX revealed: Who your club plays and when

AFLX, the League's high-octane version of the sport, will debut on February 15 next year with the AFL including traditional soccer and rugby venues among the venues for three separate round-robin tournaments.

Pool A, Hindmarsh Stadium, Thursday February 15
Adelaide, Collingwood, Fremantle, Geelong, Port Adelaide, West Coast

Pool B, Etihad Stadium, Friday February 16
Carlton, Essendon, Hawthorn, Melbourne, North Melbourne, St Kilda

Pool C, Allianz Stadium, Saturday February 17
Brisbane Lions, Gold Coast, Greater Western Sydney, Richmond, Sydney, Western Bulldogs

All 18 AFL clubs were provided with an AFLX document on Friday afternoon, which outlines the fixture and format of the tournament.

Clubs are yet to be shown a detailed brief of all the rules, but will be informed in due course.

"AFLX has been created to provide us with the options to play a form of the game in places where oval grounds are limited and to showcase our game internationally at a point in the future," Dillon said.

What do we think of this? Who's in our starting 10?

Hopefully our bottom 10

 

[Tiger Toffee]

Oh FFS, we better not be playing any of our top 34 in this shit. I will be ****ing ropeable if any of our players gets a long term injury from this crap.

 

[Portland Tigers]

Get the vfl boys to play

 

[tugga]

absolute f.ucking garbage.

 

[NaturalDisaster]

Lol

seriously you're all like a bunch over protective helicopter parents. Getting injured is part of the game and can just as easily happen in any pre season match.

also, too many people dismiss anything different without giving it a shot

I for one am interested to see how this pans out. It might be shit, but it might turn out good as well.

Lol'd at "might" be shit.

 

[NaturalDisaster]

How do you know until it's tried out?

 

[I_Love_Thee_V]

What a load of steaming hot garbage

 

[Sir_Loin]

How do you know until it's tried out?

You can’t polish a turd

 

[Ron The Bear]

A clever plot to increase anticipation of the real thing.

 

[Ned_Flanders]

This is the most stupid and pointless thing since Tiger71 went on tinder looking for hot women into fat bald blokes

 

[Tiger Toffee]

AFL will be in for a rude shock when new draftees and some cat b rookies roll out for all clubs, no club is going to risk any stars for this garbage, and as a result it will be scrapped after 1 year.

 

[tigs2010]

How do you know until it's tried out?

Because blokes like Chol etc will be picked. Will be crap.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

Don't even get to play our AFL X game in Melbourne, was actually thinking of going.

 

[Sterge]

Just announced a 3 million profit why would we risk players on this bullshit. At least injuries in the preseason is preparing for real footy and winning another flag. This is garbage.

 

[sante]

It’s a chance to see the kids though

 

[fumbler]

Oh Joy.
It's International Rules but not as we know it.

I really hope we wear some 1980's Disco Jersey with sequins and puffy collars.

 

[TigerImposter]

Will we still be the reigning premiers?

 

[Wrenny]

Back: Garthwaite & Drummond // Chol
Mid: C.Ellis & Miles // Markov
FWD: Stengle & Moore // Naish
Ruck: Soldo

 

[Spluff]

Can't say I'm particularly excited to see this, but then again, people said the same stuff about 20/20.

 

[Infamy]

I understand why they are doing it, but I think their approach for it is all wrong.
No chance will the AFL clubs play any players in their Top 30

 

[Equus]

This is fast food style football. I look forward to see how it goes. Good way to pump some experience to kids

Is it kind of like the fast food equivalent of pumping saturated fats and processed meat into kids? Thank god it’s only one day for each team then - everything is okay in moderation when part of a healthy balanced di.... season

 

[Achilles Heel]

Oh FFS, we better not be playing any of our top 34 in this shit. I will be ******* ropeable if any of our players gets a long term injury from this crap.

Looks very netbally to me
