Bucketheadsdad Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 http://www.afl.com.au/aflx http://www.sportingnews.com/au/afl/news/aflx-rules-dates-times-teams-players-stream-tv-broadcast-fixtures-schedule/1pks5d5ues8ll1v6fq55uib2pz http://www.afl.com.au/video/2018-01-24/aflx-explained The AFL is looking to expand their game beyond Australia, and since they play on such a large playing surface. Regular AFL games consist of 18 players at a time. AFLX will have 7 players on the field at a time. It looks as if this is successful, they may look at expanding the game to other markets like the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucketheadsdad Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) The 2018 season is just a few weeks away from beginning. Preseason games began this weekend, and there are quite a few new faces in new places. West Coast Eagles new recruit Liam Ryan going to be a high flyer in the league. Small in stature, that young man can jump out of the "gym." Edited February 26, 2018 by Bucketheadsdad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucketheadsdad Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 The 2018 season begins in a little less than 36 hours (4:25 a.m. on the east coast) when the defending premiership team, the Richmond Tigers begin the defense of their premiership against the Carlton Blues. I am no Tigers fan, but they are the champs until someone knocks them off. I'll repost a few links in case anyone wants to see what this exciting game is all about.

Bucketheadsdad Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 Great first week of the fixture (schedule). Some classic match ups, including the Demons and Cats, and the Eagles and Swans, which may have had the goal of the year. The Kangaroos and Suns (ironically) played in actual monsoon type conditions in an entertaining, yet ugly low-scoring matchup. The Roos redeemed themselves on Good Friday, thrashing the Saints behind Ben Brown's six goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucketheadsdad Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 Highlights of the game of the week, Geelong v. Hawthorn. The FInal 2 minutes of the match. One of the best games I've seen in ANY sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Nat is such a game changing Ruck. Such a fantastic athlete in that position, and Jack Darling had a fantastic game. The Cats have such a huge void in the Ruck, and the four games that Gaz has played he looks like he a step or two slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a huge baseball fan here in the states, but with the WatchAFL app, I am finding myself watching several Footy games each weekend, and can't get enough of watching Gerard Whatley and Mark Robinson on AFL 360. (There are a couple of youtube sites that post "The Footy Show" and "Front Bar" and a couple other programs.) I have become so engrossed by the game.
