If no one watches did it really return?

No Tigers players, please. It should be VFL players anyway to make it fair. Then both teams would be part-time footballers.

I don’t want any of our players playing this junk.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Not interested...make it a VFL side to compete...

I've always liked it and would like a few of our guys to play. Looking forward to it.

I find it very frustrating to watch to be honest - in the AFLX category of frustrating.

 

[BF Tiger]

Really good for minnow teams.

It's not great but IMO it's a bit of fun. Nice to celebrate the two sports/cultures.
Aflx had a horrific hidden agenda to it, unlike the international rules. The AFL would probably have already converted the whole sport to AFLx if it was the tiniest bit successful, whereas the international rules won't ever replace the game we love.

Having said that, I still reckon Andy Kellaway was Australia's best goalkeeper of all time.

I quite liked International Rules growing up. Went in 2011 to watch it, Robbie Nahas and the Push Up King were playing and we got smacked, think that's when the AFL took it a bit more seriously and added better players.

So just Carlton vs Ireland then?
