AFL great Tim Watson says he was underwhelmed by the inaugural AFLX tournament held in Adelaide on Thursday night.
“I was so excited about watching this last night, it was worth the experiment, but the game just left me a little bit cold,” Watson said on SEN.
“I didn’t find the excitement levels I thought I would find.
“The game itself, it is a completely different game. The great features in our game don’t really appear in AFLX.
“No one was kicking the ball long to a contest, because players are programmed to kick the ball to each other, they hit the targets, there is free running and no real tackling pressure.
“There was no atmosphere at that game.”
