What a joke. Stupid idea and injuries would ensure it's only played by the rookies and/or players about to get delisted
However what would our best side be given it is 7 a side on a soccer pitch

Teams not in the top 8 will always book surgery for guys
near the end of the season, to fix niggles,
so they can hit preseason in the best shape possible.

This silly idea should be called AFL-Decaf
We already have NAB cup, do they really need any more games?
And how much would they charge the punters for entry?

If one of the Medallion Club were very athletic, they could pay a fee to play,
so it would be like that Ted Whitten All Stars where Sam Pang and other TV guys have a kick and giggle

So a player finishing in a team in the bottom 8 can make more money than a team in the top 8? Sounds like good incentive for players to miss the finals.

As a kid growing up in the 90s, I was so excited about the prospect of the 21st century and getting to see Coca Cola Futureball:

But instead we get AFLX :?

The X stands for X-citement
The big wigs at the afl would have come up with this concept as a way to line their pockets.
The more bums on seats the bigger the bonus .

I used to love my AFX set. Maybe we can win this thing.

Probably less interesting than a Reiki meditation followed by a vegetarian degustation.

The AFL epitomise that Horne quote about Australia - a lucky country run by second rate people. They're village idiots lucky to be living on a goldmine.
