Opinion AFLX - What do we think of this round robin pre-preseason experiment?

[John Who]

Is it a good time now to do a blackmail on Sloane?
The Crows coaching panel says to him "Righto Sloaney, if you don't sign on the dotted line by next week, you're gonna be in all the AFLX games. Have a think about it mate.."

Prelude to being SANFL skipper?

$10 tickets today, and giveaways being widely circulated.

It's looking more and more like a flop by the day.

Wouldn't be a bad choice. He did it when Carey was injured or out of the side due to too many AFL players

I had no doubts that it was always going to be a flop. I'm just surprised some clubs have decent players playing in it.

I did not realise it was on, Thursday night for some reason Because I had Feb 25 colour in on the calendar, I was thinking next week.
So how much interest I have in the game, May watch the Crows games on TV 7two to see how Doedee and Gullucci go.

I didn't even realise it was being televised on FTA TV!

Neon light goal posts apparently!

I only found out recency by checking on the date ended up at this site.

Could this lead to the sacking of Gillon?

"Apparently" is right: they're actually LEDs. The article's announcement of "neon"-lit goal posts is typical of the crap surrounding this cartoon competition.

Wow, that sounds incredibly tacky. Just because cricket have zing bails doesn't mean that everything is better with them.

Perhaps they could spend a bit more time working out how to get a reliable score review.

Are you suggesting the potatoes they currently use for score reviews are not up to the job?

 

[brucetiki]

If they worked like Zinga bails then I would support it - as in if the ball hits the post they light up. Would clear up those 50/50 hit the post calls.

LED strips for the sake of them however, is a farce.

AFLX needs multiball.

Maybe have random moments in the game where a second ball is inserted jjnto the game. A different colour to the one in play.

During this time period each team "owns" a ball and you can only score with the opposing team's ball. Scores are doubled during these periods.

Maybe take away the random timing and make it the final two minutes of each quarter. Have a "two minute warning" siren.
