For the record SEN, an AFL dominated radio station has been taking the piss out of AFLX. Pretty much every caller about it has nothing positive to say.  

I can't see this lasting long.  If a star gets injured then it will be over.

Good grief. Why do Australian sports administrators insist on treating the audience like idiots? Is it really what people want?

even with all the ticket givaways, if this game gets a bgger crowd than the derby, we may as well die as a species. 

It won't, guaranteed.

Heard the president of AFL team Western Bulldogs on ABC radio on the way to work this morning, very diplomatically said he wasn't interested at all in AFLX.

I wish he was asked if he's had any contact from Western United, specifically regarding potential use of Whitten Oval.

If there was a virus outbreak in Melbourne from the piss in alleyways and everyone died, the AFL as a competition would vanish with it. New leagues could be sustained in sa and wa but without afl money or influence the game would evaporate largely from other states.

There was a report that there were more people employed on the telecast of an aflw games than there were watching in nsw recently.

The irony of this statement not lost on any football supporter:  

“This week and the last few days it’s just been extraordinary,” Dangerfield said of the public criticism surrounding AFLX.

If you don’t like it, don’t watch it. Don’t try to sell your hate to us all because that’s all I’ve seen from a lot of apparent leading journalists.

“I’m just gobsmacked at how many negative articles surround it. If you don’t like it, that’s fine, it’s not for you.



A statement made by someone involved in a sport who's existence that has never been challenged or criticised by journalists.

The cognitive-dissonance is strong w/these types. Mind you, Dangerfield's def not the sharpest tool in the shed as is..

Doesn’t the NRL have an indigenous all star game or some naff?

Anyway, this AFLX is just the worst thing anyone has ever seen. It may not cost them any money, but it’s very costly in terms of dignity.

Pathetic.

Am I the only one that thinks indigenous teams like the "deadlys" are a bit like segregation? 

I just can't help think its like a modern day equivalent of the negro league in US baseball. 

I just can't understand how this sort of thing is viewed as progressive. Its basically saying your aboriginally takes precedence over what you have achieved as a human being.
