SEN Breakfast co-host Tim Watson believes we’ve seen the last of the AFL’s controversial brainchild AFLX.
Watson revealed the coaches strongly disliked the concept and have seemingly gotten their way.
“I’ve got an acronym for you. I’m hearing this, but you’ve got to put the pieces together: AFLX RIP,” Watson told SEN Breakfast.
“What do you think that means?
“I’m hearing there was a lot of opposition to it from AFL clubs.
“There’ll be no more AFLX, that’s what I’m hearing.”
The spinoff competition has existed for the last two seasons and has featured current AFL players on a rectangular field playing with eight per side.
AFLX was revamped in 2019 with players paid significant amounts of money to take part in the one-night tournament.
