I don't think it's nice, you laughing.
Just like all pre-season games the super goals are really retarded and warp score lines pretty quickly.

Wonder what odds you would have gotten for dogs to win a grand final in 2016, tigers to win a grand final in 2017, and the dees to win a grand final in 2018

I’m claiming it.

Sure, it’s in a pretend form of the game that doesn’t count and may not exist in a couple of months, but still, go Dees!

Everyone should read this amazing article on AFLX: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-02-16/aflx-not-an-exciting-new-format-of-a-beloved-sport-richard-hinds/9452570

Choice quotes to get you to click the link:

quote:

AFLX is the first attempted use of Victoria's new voluntary euthanasia laws.

Otherwise from just the second game of AFLX, it became apparent this ill-conceived and hopefully short-lived experiment has only one thing in common with the real game — Collingwood can't make the finals.

A basketball guard dribbling up the floor without pressure is one thing. An AFL defender eating up half the playing field while attracting as much interest from the opposition as a sausage roll at a Vegan picnic is an abandonment of the game's greatest fundamental.

About the best that can be said of AFLX is that it will soon become another quirky addition to the AFL's history alongside Angry Anderson in a Batmobile, Warwick Capper's singing career and Richmond winning a premiership.

Holy poo poo, Erin loving Phillips.

That's the first Adelaide-based AFLW game I haven't been able to go to, figures it would be the best of the lot of them. At least I got to watch the game on TV after quarter time, was a ripper!

PA system said 4900 at Norwood today, still ok I guess, but a disappointing drop even if it is an afternoon game.

Just realised it was Brennan who pulled up injured in the last, that's not good.

Absolutely shocking turn out though, are you telling me that the AFL couldn't even give tickets away?

Using a wrestling example, if you have a poo poo turn out then for fucks sake put your audience on the side that the hard camera is facing. It at least looks like the place has a decent number of people watching

At Princes Park, four women behind me had a roast lamb dinner with potatoes and pumpkin on paper plates, smelt bloody good.

There were three Erin Phillips out there today, according to google photo.

Also of note - the fence line was crammed with young to teenage girls eager for a selfie and an autograph with their hero, it's definitely working.
