NTRabbit posted:The CBA has been done, I think the So wait, does this mean there will still be rookies as there exist at the moment but only for category B rookies? It would be kind of absurd if we had a situation where Paul Hunter would be eligible to play AFL footy but Hugh Greenwood wouldn't.

gay picnic defence posted:Personally I think the real problem they have at Hawthorn is that a lot of the junior players they expected to stand up this year turned out to be not as good as they had hoped. Yeah. Langford has been the only one registering on the "give-a-poo poo-o-meter" while not being "all that good" at least you can say he's loving trying and the "experienced" young players - Duryea and Hartung - have been utter garbage. The midfield has been beaten comprehensively which is a shame because Kaiden Brand, Ryan Burton and Tim O'brien have shown a glimmer of promise in their respective ends. I feel for Whitecross since he was injured all the way through the threepeat and comes back to this dumpster fire. Oh well, next year O'Meara is going to return and show the world what Gaz taught him (not the god botherer stuff) and FOURTHORN WILL BE BACK BABY.

Twenty20 makes sense because cricket is long and boring, and a shorter version where they just try to hit every ball for six is great. Not sure that AFL really needs a version of Twenty20.

It is a standard of game that expats can play overseas on soccer pitches. Makes sense but it wont take off in Aus.

Can't wait to watch a bunch of reserve players from the comp's worst teams play touch footy on a soccer pitch!

Oh for sure. Teams will play 7 vfl players. Unless the afl mandates that each bottom 10 side plays proper players. As you said, one injury will end this local comp if afl players are involved.

Also, who is going to watch this game? Sure it's in the week after the regular season has finished, so there will be no footy on, but honestly I can't see an audience for it. If your team missed the finals, are you now going to care about a one week mickey mouse version of the game just coz they will be wearing your colours? Or if your team is in the finals, are you going to care about same mickey mouse game that doesn't even involve your team? If it's for international/non AFL audiences, then I can't see any non-AFL fan suddenly caring about a bowlderized version of a game that they already find baffling.

I'm pretty sure the entire purpose of it is to develop a version of the game that is playable on square fields, so that any soccer pitch is a potential playable field, as opposed to a huge oval, which are rarer outside Australia, especially in places like India and China where space can be a premium. The people posting in this thread are not the target audience.

It sounds perfectly reasonable as a "touch" version of the game (afl9s is pretty garbage, 7 on the field is much better) but having actual AFL players play it just seems dumb.

Give the winner of the AFLX an end of first round draft pick and watch the teams thrown everything that have at it.

I feel like that incident was probably a confused old guy who genuinely didn't know the correct terminology and shouldn't have been let out of sight of his minders in the home he should be put in.

The VFL night premiership started as a weird thing where the non-finalists played a knockout comp during the finals. Obviously this is a bit different with (and might even be called an adaptation of corridor footy) but even still.

On the other hand this is Sam Newman so it's probably dumb to give him any kind of benefit of the doubt.
