RIP AFL X

[Greggy]

Seriously why do they even bother with the idea if they’re not going to let it grow. Brainlessness.

I'd like to celebrate, but like how the monster's mother comes along in the sequel, I'm sure they are giddy to repackage and unleash something more depraved

Cant wait for Gil to retire and then his farewell video will be littered with his career highlights... Clips of 100's millions propping up the Suns and that AFLX photo.

Simpsons predicted this also.

I think there are elements of the AFLX game that should be considered for AFLW.

I agree. I think AFLW should be using the same rules as AFLX on the same grounds. The issue for the AFL is that they don't want to have to pay to reset the ovals with new lines and move the posts because it's a big stuff around, so the women play on a full size field with less players and women aren't the athletes men are. It will not create as much of a spectacle as the men can on the full sized ground.

If men don't play AFLX but that's what AFLW is, then it builds a brand of the game that can be played on smaller grounds that the women athletes can better show their flair. Unfortunately it will require money spent on rectangle grounds with AFL goals. It might mean we end up with a hybrid of AFL posts on top of soccer goals and a couple of extra behind posts each side that can be removed easily post game.

The AFL will officially remove AFLX scheduling from its pre-season fixturing.

Post your condolences, favourite memories, and well wishes below.

They should remove AFLW as well if they want to save some much needed $$$$$$$$$$$$$

Loved watching the absolute elite run around on one field.

Good to see Bayley Fritsch too.

Looking forward to see what the afl come with next for us to complain about in February.

While it hurts now, tomorrow is another day.

We will move on.

Try and force a product that no-one wanted and surprise, surprise it didn't work. The AFL should right a book called 'how to waste money for dummies'

Funny on MMM this morning Luke Darcy cringing at his and JB's commentary from this years AFLX and in his own words 'geez we tried to sell that hard didn't we'.

Fyfe will never win a premiership now.

"To focus on the women's game"

In true AFL form.. never miss a chance to be politically correct.

 

[Wallaby]

Just to save time - can we call the next great experiment - AFL-Y?

You know that the XFL returns next year, right?

I’d take the fewer players on a smaller ground part of AFLX, use that for AFLW, and ditch the rest.

I didn't until today..

Is it a sign of Gils star setting?

Stand by for 2021, when a whole new travesty of a game will be foisted upon an unsuspecting set of marketers.
