Maybe you should ask AFLY? Don’t worry, the way it’s going AFLX is looking more like AFLZzzz…

Where abouts are these available?
Oh shit sorry. The sale has ended it was just by going to the tickettek website. I got sent an email.
I see there are concerns about “the state of footy in Tasmania” again. Funny how certain sections of the media grab hold of issues at least 20 years late and think they’re helping and/or concerned.
AFLX is getting more tacky. A game of Rock Paper Scissors will replace a coin toss. How stupid is this game?
I feel sorry for you.
Dwayne Russell said on Sportsday on 3AW this evening he heard a rumour that next year’s AFLX would be a State of Origin format.

People don’t want this stupid AFLX they want a regular football match. Give us a weekend of State of Origin.

Yep, people will get excited about a contest involving a mix of the league’s best players, if there’s something on the line and the game being played is actual football!
The ‘gimmickiness’ of the whole thing is just cringeworthy, hardly likely to win over new fans and very likely to alienate the rusted-on ones. At least a SoO competition, even if played pre-season like AFLX is, would engage the fans

Missed opportunity to bring the lower tier seats in at Marvel Stadium I’d have thought.

oh I’ve misunderstood
Wow! I have seen bubbles flying everywhere over at marvel stadium for the aflx. I thought that people wer having fun. I noticed that there we’re 25k at marvel stadium
Especially with Victory vs City in an A-League derby tomorrow night that will almost certainly attract a bigger crowd (even if City fans are basically dormant).
They had people on the ground though.
So if they want fans near the action, bring the seats in.
They wanted to offer the fans to be part of the game. Last year they brought the seats out. I prefer the seats being in and have a carnival feel on the ground.

The whole fashion thing was a bit over the top with AFLX. I went and stayed for a few games I just found it very hard to follow. I did not understand the 10 point thing.
Just watching some of the JLT match involving Essendon and Carlton. As an AFL fan I love the new rule of 6 in the forward 6 in the back as the ball is bounced. However, as a Port Adelaide fan I am very worried. A strong midfield and a strong forward are going to see a flow of goals. It will be great for the game. I just don’t think Port Adelaide have the strongest midfield so I worry how they might go with these new rules. It has put a huge value on clearance masters and power forwards.
Yeah my son is a midfielder and his club played an intra-club on the weekend at Yeronga under these rules… He’s 16 and pretty nimble so was running rings 'round the older blokes (with clean disposals and second efforts)…
They were still paying zone though… so six on six… he found it pretty easy to find his targets in the forward line… but sadly the accuracy in front of goal wasn’t so good. No matter how good the midfield is… makes no difference if the forwards can’t fire.
So a ‘power’ defence (and Port look good on defence) is still of value… particularly if they can clear it quickly.
Yeah but I always noticed port were vulnerable in defence when teams got a quick clean away and they didn’t have a westhoff stemming the flow.
I wouldn’t be that worried, once teams work out that if you rely on defensive structure that you need your best tacklers in the middle to restrict the flow out or to get repeat stoppages to get the structure in place it will be back to how it was.
