AFLX

[Jetboy]

Agreed hutstar,
This thread is supposed to be about AFLX, not some schoolyard rant about rugby, soccer, and ground capacity...
So, my take on AFLX is that it’s just another attempt from the AFL to tap into a different market to gain more cash from corporate deals and TV rights....
Thank god the Tiges aren’t playing any of our superstars....as for the guys that are unlucky enough to be in the squad, tread carefully, accept any umpiring decision , and remember that in about a week after the event, no one will even be thinking about it, so don’t bust a gut trying to be a hero.......
Having said that, I’ll still watch .......but only because that’s all there is

Perhaps AFLXXX would have more hope of gaining a large viewing audience?

I can only watch AFLW-XXX.

Would you still enjoy watching it when transgender players are admitted TF?

Shai not named in our AFLX squad, a bit surprised by that.

 

[craig]

Good then he cant get injured for no reason

Uhh...no thanks.

 

[Ghost of Punt Road]

Ben Miller?

He stands out in that list. Wonder why he makes the list? To test the concept of a fast ruck sized forward?

He is in for Rioli’s spot. Will be in JLT squad, not this Nicky mouse crap

 

[Tigaman]

Up until now players were contracted by RFC to play JLT & the normal season so how do players get paid for this AFLX gimmick ?. Surely managers of players who were contracted before AFLX inception would have to question the AFL as to how it effects player contracts due to the extra AFLX load placed upon the players.

 

[tigerdell]

Doubt any of this is a big deal or new to the players.
During preseason theres scratch matches with restricted playing areas and reduced numbers. Thats probs pretty common.

And it replaces a preseason game. The players are not more exposed.
Same risk as injury if its a club scratch match or official aflx or jlt

Young side - Conca and Lloyd the most experienced.

It's a shame Menadue didn't get a gig. He was the one I wanted to see the most.

Even though its probably as relevant as watching them play table tennis, yeah, I wanted to see MenAreDue too.

and $hai.

I'd pay to watch these kids play monopoly.

Dekka Smith is one of the youngsters i look forward to watching this year along with Shai, Balta, CCJ and Miller, (in proper footy that is)

Something about him could be a player.
