AFLX

[Cripps17]

WTF!

If it's gimmicky and only a short game, I may have a chance of getting my daughter to sit down and watch it with me. That happens it'll have my vote.

AFLW or AFLX ............. which is the lesser of two evils.

I have absolutely zero interest in both of them especially this trumped up AFLX shite.

I see AFLX as a televised training session, but it’s off season so I’ll watch it.

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

Let's never try anything new. That'll serve us all well.

I hope your daughter loves it. Family time is super important

You might be the lesser of two evils ...

C'mon Parap, that's not a decent reason for watching it.

Dr. Phil & Judge Judy are on every day too.

I am both evils actually.

AFL exec 1: How do we ensure it’s exciting?

Exec 2: it needs to be high scoring.

Exec 1: Ok just make a goal worth 10

 

[CJMB]

Yup, but they'll be playing 2 or 3 games across the evening.

Given it's going to be a pre-season to the pre-season with kids, I reckon they'd run out of gas after 60 minutes anyway.

Yeah, it's the AFL version of Rugby 7s. Roughly half the players involved per team, shortened game time, multiple games per day. Although the 7s is played on a normal pitch, normal scoring with as close to the normal rules as possible. And 7s has been around for 100+ years and wasn't dreamed up by a bunch of marketing 'geniuses'.

 

[Metalcrusher]

I wonder, to a certain degree if we are watching the future of the AFL here ...... In so far as 20+ years, will the AFL will look like a version of AFLX?

 

[DollarsandSense]

So the AFL are trying to build momentum with the AFLW. So they schedule this rubbish on when the AFLW is on. Taking away any momentum.. FMD.

Also - if they are creating this rubbish as a 'fast food' version of AFL for supporters... they've just pumped god knows how much $ into AFL9s. WTF is going on. Shouldn't they just play 9's to promote that 'version' of footy?? I'd prefer to see AFL listed players (well our ones) playing 9s. non contact - promoting the product that they already have.

That's a depressing thought.

[Windhover]

It won't work.

There has to be some sort of prize for the unlucky raffle winners.

 

[Tommy Alvin]

Lucky we have Liam Jones, he will be an AA Rollerball player.

I was 15 when I wagged school to see this. Jonathon, Jonathon, Jonathon..........

AFLX - Friday night- 7TWO from 6.30PM & also live on FoxFooty

AFLW - Saturday night - 7mate from 7.30PM & also live on FoxFooty

 

[Cripps Nubake]

I'm really excited about this. I can understand the negativity, but it's been a long preseason and to be able to see some of our youngsters play on the big stage against genuine opposition will be great!

 

[SonOfColin]

Charlie, Fisher and Pickett are definite starters for Friday.
