QuoteWhat is AFLX?
Played on a soccer-sized oval
Played between two sides of seven, three on each interchange bench
Ten-minute quarters No centre bounces (kick-ins from full-back after each goal)
One umpire
*dry retches*
Stinks of AFL meeting the supporters half-way of State of Origin if you ask me. If we are suddenly OK with risking player injury, then that can't be used as excuse for not having State of Origin IMO.
Sounds crap
Wasn't this floated a year or so ago?
Pretty sure I read about this ages ago. Was shower then and is still shower now
I think a lot of people are just using this as another excuse to have a whinge.
Sure it's gonna have some pretty obvious flaws and it's not gonna be like the AFL we know and love but as far as I'm concerned, footy is footy.
Plus I believe they intend to hold it in that week off between Round 23 and finals? Heard many people say that break is shower with no footy, so here's the solution. A watered down, glorified state of origin.
Might be ok to watch but will only be played by VFL type players I think can't see clubs risking there guns for a bit of hit and giggle footy
Will have to wait and see in action. Think there are a lot of risks involved but could be sorted out with a few extra restrictions.
Smaller Oval with only 14 players on the field. Think for safety need to restrict the number in areas of the ground. As shaker has said will clubs risk players for this or will it be mostly 2nd Tier comp players.
It is still footy on a bye weekend.

I think there's a lot of unnecessary hate going on here. Yeah, it's not AFL, but it's a supplementary competition not a replacement and tbh, it'd probably be pretty fun/ enjoyable to watch.
I have read this before.
The AFL already have AFL9s set up which is being taught in universities and in schools, not sure why they want to bring out another modification

this is a good point. While i hate the idea as i dont think it will be fun to watch and its a chance of injuring the players for no gain. It would make much more sense if they just played AFL 9s.
Like, call me being irrationally angry about something that doesn't matter.
But the more that's revealed about this sport, and even how it was being advertised today... it just looks a superficial, money-grabbing venture by an organisation who seemingly always fall on the wrong side of business v fan interests.
And looking at various social platforms, I've never seen a new concept like this be so poorly received.
I for one flat out refuse to watch it, but at the same time I'm curious to see what the reported crowd attendances are.
flower the AFL, I'm going to do a Vince and create the XFL.
And yes, there will be horses.

*delayed response*
Again, could just be irrationally angry, but I don't find BBL or Fast4 tennis fun to watch. These formats invite amateurs and players that can get away with a shorter format of the game, and dilute the image of the game IMO. The same is expected of aflx.
But that's just me, and I know BBL in particular is popular, but I honestly wouldn't watch it as an intermission for real afl.
The popularity will reveal itself I guess.

It's interesting to look at how the shorter formats of different sports change the skill base required for the sport. BBL for instance really lends itself to an entirely different skill set than test cricket. Fast4 however still requires more or less the same skills as a 5 set tennis match, just less endurance. I definitely agree with the point on diluting the image of the game.
It'll be fascinating to see what kind of players are successful at AFLX. I get the feeling it'll be players who can play quick attacking football and kick the ball long. I don't see defensive skills playing a big part in the game at all.
I can’t believe how much they think the AFLW is a success and they don’t charge for it but they are charging for this crap. Biggest load of BS

Suspect we will see charging for AFLW from next year though. For the AFLX cost though is for the day so for 3 games.
I am reserving my final opinion until I see a couple of games but at the moment hard to get excited by playing a game on a 110 yard rectangular field. Can see some backs kicking goals from inside own half.
I haven't even been curious about this comp, leave footy alone.
meh. it's footy. I'll give it a crack
Playing with a silver ball will mean spuds like Goldsack and Goldstein won't be very good.

The only misleading thing about those figures is some squads are (considerably) bigger than others. Probably needs to cut down to average games per squad member.

Clubs are never going to risk there good players on this game even the good players that have been named have not set foot on the field yet ;) if it is going to be successful the players need to be a new group away from AFL club lists specialists in AFLX a bit like T-20 cricket but more so

What are the odds Jacky Watts withdraws also? I'm keen to him tonight. I recon he's the clear favourite to win the AFLX MVP.

Well, after 10 minutes, I'm gonna make the first comparison to BBL.
In the cricket, there's (roughly) 90-120 seconds after a boundary or wicket where the crowd gets to cheer, clap and appreciate good play.
However, in the AFLX, there's, at most, 10 seconds after every score, goal, behind or otherwise, and the crowd seems to lack opportunity to really appreciate what just happened (replays etc.) Atmosphere seems to be lacking, and atmosphere and entertainment factor is what the AFL wants the competiton to be all about.
It's fast but lacking something maybe a bit one dimensional
Its mildly entertaining but glad it's only one weekend! Just far too short a field to see any proper footy :P
But what's with that daggy song they're playing at Coopers? Bad enough when I have to listen to that rubbish at the gym
But my biggest concern is that poor pitch at Hindmarsh, anyone who ever comes to Australia to play soccer already bags the state of our surface! Footy boots just ruining that poor soccer pitch :-\

Oh well not to much harm done it's only soccer :D
Pitch was trash before the first game to be fair haha
Crows take the cake, can't wait for the three AFLX winners to come together for AFLXXX :-X
That was absolutely horrid. No wonder half the crowd left early.
The pitch was horrid as the foo fighters concert from 2 weeks ago destroyed it. Hindmarsh is normally pristine.
Who would go see the Foo Fighters? ::) Sure they're better than the trash they just played at Coopers but still
It is about time the FFA and Adelaide United told Hindmarsh and the Entertainment Centre to FO! Build a proper Stadium in the City parklands! Never let AFL or any band EVER anywhere near it! Anybody with half a brain knows that Europe will never let Aussie Rules footy anywhere near their football/soccer grounds!
I still cant believe the FFA would allow what just happened! But Hindmarsh isn't owned by Football, those flogging tossers in the entertainment centre business do! Bad enough the AU travel to Elizabeth for their training, WTF? Because of the rent on Hindmarsh ::) ;)
End of the day despite the stupid gimmicks, that wasn't a bad spectacle. I'm sure the players are glad it's gone though! We can get back to actual footy next week ;D But gee, some players looked good!
Like Willie Rioli, Hampton, CEY and my boy Stephan Giro 8) Didn't he look impressive! He'll play early I reckon! As will the other three. Still hoping Riley Bonner gets a go for Port and I think he just might!
but hot the frog can you tell from some silly desperate 40 minute a side tournament? ???
Watch out for my boy from Glenelg Willie Rioli though

Obviously, problem is there would be more chance that the Aussie Open tennis final is held on the MCG then soccer having exclusive stadiums for all clubs. Including ones in Sydney that the NRL and SR use anyway. There is no “massive†occasion where everyone in Australia is watching soccer being played in Australia for weeks at a time. Asia cup in Aus was a joke and unless the actual World Cup gets played in Australia, soccer at a professional level (because it does quite well below that) in Australia is seen as sport a long way down the order
On AFLX it needs a bit of work but has the structure behind it and will get funded. Whether other countries will play it is a different question but with the organisation and a proper structure they can play it overseas on smaller sized ovals. Taking a game here and there like US college football in Sydney, US college basketball in Germany etc
I'm assuming it stunk
It is ok in current format of being held over 3 days to try the young guys and build some fitness but it is not much of a spectacle I was pretty well sick of it by the GF
I know they get a bunch of shower I have always enjoyed them and listen to mmm all the time. JB and BT tried as hard as they could to bring in the audience. They were unbelievably good
Not gonna lie, I've only watched the first game and I loved it. I can definitely see it taking off. If AFLX was a stock I'd be jumping on right now.

A zooper decision by the AFL there! Was no logical reason for using them apart from being another stupid gimmick.
May be a bit left field but with the controversies in AFLWL with low scoring and injuries maybe the women can play this for a couple of years to get strength etc up as they build up to be a fair dinkum competition in say 3 - 4 years. That way they can build skills in the short game as well.

It'll be fine, give it 10 years and I guarantee it'll be a staple of the pre-season
Watched again last night but did not see the end matches turned to watch the Rugby then Wolverine which had much more action even though I'd seen it before , so far all I can say it is a fairly hollow format think I'd rather watch basketball and I'm not a fan of that there is just no substance to it there is no build up no high marking little contested possession just kick handball goal most of the time , flashing goal posts and bursts of steam for a Zooper goal really don't cut it , good for the young guys and training them but that's about it ....... back to the drawing board Gillon .
Watching live, for a supposedly 'more exciting' version of our game, it seemed less exciting than regular footy. Maybe that's just a crowd/atmosphere thing.
Perhaps what I missed more than anything else was players getting a little rowdy after a ripper goal. There was, at times, some high quality football last night, but the boys don't even get the chance to come together and celebrate a goal, zooper or otherwise. Kills the atmosphere a little bit for mine, even the crowd can't celebrate for long because the ball's already in the opposing 40.
Snore fest. Thought I'd be happy just to have some sort of footy back but nope. Would rather have nothing
3 wins today, hopefully can double that by the end of the year :)
