AFL Random Thoughts

[yeah_nah]

In what sense are any of them rucks anyway? The ball hits the floor 95% of the time anyway

Yes but so does Aaron sandilands and he was considered good in the aflm

Does that mean AFLX is for the trans? Hannah finally can belong

I think a major reason for the animosity is that the AFL and other media (Herald Sun etc) are using/leveraging existing social media for the posts, so even if you unfollowed AFL Women's etc, it is still constantly in your news feed. Of course they get more exposure this way, but it definitely frustrates people who aren't interested in the product.

For example, the Supercoach account on Facebook is doing constant posts, when it clearly has nothing to do with Supercoach, they are just using the account to generate clicks. I don't hear about much cricket news because I don't follow any Cricket pages and generally try to avoid following people who tweet about it.

Not saying they can't just scroll past the posts, but it's definitely a factor and I think the quicker it's separated, the less negativity there will be. Just my two cents!

I don’t like SuperCoach but I see it everywhere. I also don’t post shit about how poor it is

Anywho, i'm just looking forward to a 20 point super goal from the Gatorade Gamechanger this AFLX.

I’m just waiting for the surprise “last goal wins” rule to be introduce during the last qtr

Gatorade gamechanger.

Fuck I knew they'd come up with a corny sponsored name for a designated player since the Carlton Draught sub went the way of the dodo....

[yeah_nah]

Taking a kick in you should be allowed to choose a moneyball that is worth double. It's risky because you can get scored on too so you want to be confident when bringing it into play.

Each team can have a Powerplay for 10 minutes where they get to have a pagans paddock scenario where its empty except for a one v one.

Pressure cooker. Each team can nominate a set shot during the match (prior to taking the kick, by signalling an X with their arms) that is worth double. However if you miss the goal then the other team takes the points.

Hit me up Gil I've got loads more to come.

I want the full back to have like a nerf gun set up where they put the ball in the cannon and just fucking launch the fucker 100m to the centre square

Put a Red Bull label on it. Fucking BT can say "Red Bull gave that one some wings" during every launch out

[trigg]

I'm all for two balls in play at the same time.

[Fools Gold]

When you play against the deadlys, you can't wear boots.

[DALBS]

Just fuck AFLX, right in the eardrum.

[thisisdaryl]

Would rather watch the 2018 grand final than this shit.

Well you had a chance, it was on Fox Footy last night.

You better believe I watched it again

[wolfgang]

These rules you guys are proposing aren't going anything to bring new people into the game.

So I propose Bananarama goals.

Extend the playing field to behind the goal posts similar to ice hokey. This area is now known as the Gillette Venus™ Bananarama Zone. 3 times a match 80's British girl group, and pop icons, Bananarama's hit song "Venus" will play.

Any ball kicked for a goal on the full during the this time is a Gillette Venus™ Bananarama Goal and is worth 6 points multiplied by the number of blades on the current Gillette Venus™ razor blade (I assume this will increase during the course of the AFLX season)

The key synergistic multi-brand alignment of Gillette Venus™ razors, Bananarama's iconic hit "Venus" and BT shouting "EDDIE BETTS HAS KICKED A GILLETTE VENUS™ BANANARAMA GOAL!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?" will undoubtedly increase interest, viewership and participation from key female demographics

This thread is currently the best thing about AFLX by so much.

Didn’t realise on top of gaffs suspension he has to play this.

Now I’m of the believe this is too harsh a penalty for the guy

Was going to say it's even worse than that, he also copped FIGJAMfraud as captain.

Then I realised of the 4 is probably the second most likeable (likeable is entirely the wrong word, it's comparative though)

[Embers]

Why is Fyfe in the media a thing, he is about as interesting as unbuttered toast and as likeable as a ISIS loving Collingwood supporter. Every time I hear him being interviewed I cringe. He interviews like a person who genuinely hates society and laments the fact he has to talk to us normies

The whole thing is just confusing to me as well. It's like we enjoy buttholes demeaning us with 4 word answers to complex questions

[KaII]

Probably because he negotiated media exposure into his fremantle contract so he could promote the F7 brand he is building which may one day compete with Air Jordan

[Anchorman]

That's why we keep you here, except it's 500 word answers to questions nobody asked.

That's a bit Fyfey

I'm of the opinion that AFLW in it's infancy should be compared to the first few years of VFLM. Similarly scoring levels, similar levels of amateurs playing.

I genuinely believe that if you had professional full time women playing, it'd be no more or less uninteresting than the men's game is currently. Expecting Sharon to take up AFL for the first time ever in her mid 20s, and applying the same commitment to training and development that you'd expect from her mid week netball side, and her to be even close to viewable on prime time TV is never going to happen.

[Red Neville]

Agree. You're already seeing a vast improvement in this the third season, even in crude terms of goals scored or accurate kicking. And of course there's already a hugely bigger potential player pool than there was at the outset with the knock on effect on participation numbers.

Also how much more the lady GAA players stood out for quality and strength in the first year than they do now.

[Rumblah]

Hawx looking to sign some irrelevant WAFL dude by the name of Luke Meadows. Looks underwhelming but I guess it's to be expected.

Any of you WA guys know much about him?

Edit - so irrelevant I got the name wrong 2 minutes after reading it
