afl 9s is bad

aflx may be worse but lets wait and see all of our suspicions confirmed

This is pretty much why. 9 a side is 2 players too many and the turnover rules are grade A garbage.

If the AFL wants to sell footy overseas then I don't see how turning the game into an inferior and barely recognisable version of the game is going to help.

Brand awareness, hoping it translates into views for the actual AFL and then money from new fans...

It won't have a high turnover rate but considering it is aimed at China and India they hope a few thousand out of 2 billion will like it.


On SEN today apparently:

quote:

Tim Watson: "So I've been seeing my Doctor and having injections in my knee to see if it would help regenerate the cartilage in my knee."

Lyon: "That sounds interesting, what's it called?"

Watson: "I don't know?"

Lyon: "So your allowing your Doctor to inject something into you and you don't know what it is?"

Awkward silence..

Watson: "Well, I don't know the specific details."

When the doctor asks you to come see him in his trailer after work to do the injections then fails to create any record or paperwork you might then have an issue.

Oh wait, the doctor DIDNT do any injections did he. Nice one idiots.

"Most mornings I'll apologise in advance to my wife."
The biggest issue with afl 9s is you can't put body on opposition forwards. Just chuck a tall bloke down there and you are almost set.

The Feed on SBS got none other than Ricky Nixon on to talk about whether or not Hannah Mouncey should play in the AFLW.

He managed to not only make a bunch of arse backwards about transgender issues and genitals, but also made the argument that the lighter girls, like the Asian ones, might be at risk.

Maybe this will be the true Chaosball.

Anyway gotta see how awful this turns out. I'm not sure how they've tweaked the rules but it seems like there'll be a lot of tap-kick-goal a la Buddy vs Collingwood.

They are just setting testing the waters for AFLXXX. Mixed gender teams and players remove an item of clothing after each goal.

Dungeons and dragons Vin Diesel or fast and the furious Vin Diesel?

Edit: Forgot he had the XXX movie franchise as well. Either way they'd probably all work. Riddick would also be a strong option.
