Is a report I heard correct in that the method of deciding who kicks off is the winner of the rock, paper, scissors? Lol

Giving tickets away.....

when I first read about it, I honestly thought someone was taking the piss

How could you not take this seriously?

Where's the unicorn?

Crickets latest evolution now 20/20 is wearing off:

“The Hundred”

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.

Definitely plenty of freebies getting thrown around.

Kids get in free as well

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

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. 

They don't care if long term diehards watch this. They just want it to catch on the minimum amount required with kids so they can use it as a land grab against our grounds.

Kids love afl anyway.  Aflx is nothing more than a  obsessed afl trying for world domination . They took on nbl in the 90s . They are paranoid and it shows

Disgusting. 

Sure, but if the AFL can pretend that they are also interested in AFLX by fudging the numbers enough, they can start muscling in on our pitches by peddling bullshit stats to councils.

Kinda like how NRL swallowed up Touch Footy to use it's huge participation base to boost it's own grassroots.

My work trying to give out free tickets to employees. My mate and I had a good laugh at that email.

They were giving away medallion club as well apparently.


Meanwhile, if anyone wants irrefutable proof of how much of a piss take this thing is, I present this:

Many AFL fans are idiots.

I love it when people have really bad ideas, everyone says ‘that’s pathetic’ and the final response after first saying ‘give it time’ is to try and pretend it's deliberate crap.

Waste of money, but what do they care, they’ll just get another government handout.

But kudos to the AFL for somehow inventing a time machine and going back to the early 90s to ask a compete bogan idiot for marketing ideas.

official crowd figure of 23,828

paid? couldn't tell you

They were giving free tickets the day before i'd say at least 5k where free ticket members 

the AFLX was horrible i dont mind AFL and i was there with a few mates because as i said there were free tickets and it was f***n horrid 

0ver 50% of people left before the end. Says it all.

They were also debating on SA radio of it should be included in the Olympics.

I suppose we need all the help we can get to win a gold medal. An event against ourselves would do the trick

Not to mention the line I've heard the most "sure it wasnt great, but the kids loved it" 

Are they sure?? Kids love afl already  they dont need adults telling  them what to like they're  smart enough

Haha in the Olympics seriously the attitude of some of the fans and media has driven me off the game if they just accepted their place in the sports landscape it’ll be fine

5AA?

Once every few years I go back to Oz to visit my mum. Her boyfriend listens to that shit. When you hear people like KG, Cornes, Rowe, Bickley, Leon Biner etc etc, you actually feel yourself becoming retarded

Sorry to ppl In this thread now how to quote mobile.

But yeah ‘for the kids’ now apparently. Lol. Sure, I’ve seen their media kit for advertisers.
That’s a monumental lie it’s just for kids.

@bohemia - whichever one Malcolm blight is on.
