Freo superstar Nat Fyfe will play AFLX

FREMANTLE superstar Nat Fyfe has been picked to line up for the Dockers in Thursday night's AFLX debut, with the club also set to unveil prized No.2 draft pick Andrew Brayshaw.

The six clubs competing in the round-robin tournament at Hindmarsh Stadium were able to name up to 20 players in their squad, with clubs to lodge their final 10-man teams prior to each of their games.

While some clubs have chosen to play largely inexperienced sides, Fyfe will lead the Dockers, while Bradley Hill and Michael Walters have also been named.

Port Adelaide has also decided to pick a smattering of senior players, with recruits Jack Watts, Jack Trengove and Trent McKenzie all set to feature, while Robbie Gray will captain the Power.

Adelaide will head into the games with a young squad, which will include father-son pair Jackson Edwards and Ben Jarman – the sons of Crows premiership players Tyson Edwards and Darren Jarman.

Mitch Duncan and Tom Hawkins head the Geelong squad, while mature-age draftee Tim Kelly will feature in the blue and white hoops for the first time after a promising pre-season.

But Cats fans will have to wait a little longer to see champion midfielder and favourite son Gary Ablett in his return to the club, with the ex-Gold Coast captain not named. Fellow stars Patrick Dangerfield and Joel Selwood will also not take part.

Steele Sidebottom will be Collingwood's captain as the highest profile Magpie in AFLX, while top-10 draft pick Jaidyn Stephenson, an exciting half-forward/midfielder, will also head to Adelaide.

West Coast's team is largely made up of youngsters with draftees Jarrod Brander, Jack Petruccelle, Hamish Brayshaw, Brayden Ainsworth and rookie Ryan Burrows all named.

Fyfe has withdrawn.

Look at the squads, nobody is taking this seriously.

Why would you? It's a load of frog shit, should look more at evening out the draw if they're playing this stuff in mid February followed by the JLT crap that isn't worth a penny anymore.

At least the NAB Cup had some value to it and it gave the likes of Carlton etc. to win something.

[Wedgie]

Theres some premiership players in the squads, much better players were selected than I expected. The clubs seem to be giving it more respect than the SANFL clubs gave fast footy.
I'm looking forward to it but reserve the right to be bored of it within a few minutes.

I've been watching it for years with under 6's etc and clubs host 9 a side comps every season, pouring some glitter on it and chucking an x in the name doesn't really do a lot for me, I'm sure even you will agree after watching it for a bit.

Na, bad call

If you add an "X" to something it means there's soft jubbly bits on display, usually ladies soft jubbly bits. That's how my brain "works" anyway.

Are you saying I'm more receptive of new things and wiling to give them a go more than most?
Thank you.

I think you're more of a traditionalist and although you will be willing to give it a trial run, you will walk away shaking your head thinking "what are they doing to this game".

I would have said "You're a stubborn old git like the rest of us who hate new fangled mumbo jumbo bollocks".

Same sentiment I guess.

Gotta tread carefully with Wedgie til that first pint to hit his lips around noon.

Nah, push his buttons enough and he'll get some Uber Eats into him and head off well before then.

Really?
20/20 cricket is my favourite format of cricket, I love the last touch rule in the SANFL, was even prepared to give the AFL teams a go in the SANFL by signing up to the Vice Presidents group of North when most supporters just left without giving it a chance, I enjoy the international rules matches, I joined up as a Football Park member when both AFL teams started here, joined up as a member of both football and cricket at Adelaide Oval solely because it was redeveloped, I was all for gay marriage and am constantly asking for things to change in regard to Australia Day, the flag, a republic, etc. Its weird that you would consider me a traditionalist, most people consider me the opposite and quite extremely at times.

Hardly drink these days and certainly don't drink at home. Had some on Friday because it was the missus birthday and we saw a band with friends, last time before that was Superbowl Day.

I spend 20-30 hours a week working in a pub now. Thats enough time to be in a pub. No need to spend money in a pub when I can get paid to be in one.
And yeah, work most days, working in 5 different places in the next 5 days, not full time hours though.
