    Hopefully, the jokers will have to wear a special costume, or at least have their underwear on the outside.

    Not sure why this matters.

    How stupid is this whole concept? I saw that headline and just laughed.....then I cried. It just smacks of comic book desperation. A complete joke.....I hope none of our players are involved.

    I heard the AFLX comp was created to launch the game into China (by Koschi), as there's billions to be made if that market opens up.
    Now, if you think about it, of course there's not going to be appropriately sized pitches there but there are lots of soccer fields, ergo, AFLX.
    Fail, fail, fail AFL. Dumbest idea in the history of the game.

    Absolute joke.

    Having a team of just indigenous is just so wrong and racist. Sorry you can't play with Eddie and his team because you are white.

    I'm going to skip the AFLX games. Not much interested in the AFLW either.

    I'm holding out for the AFLGBTQ games.

    It's not really a fair-dinkum attempt at creating new markets, it is more of an attempt to create another product to sell off tv rights for. Hence the 'live draft', etc.

    There's a live (as in on TV) draft? Let me know when it is, as I wouldn't want to miss such a signal event!
