2019 AFLX tournament

The league abandoned the AFLX tournament format adopted for the inaugural series, which featured all 18 AFL clubs, and instead appointed four high-profile players as captains of their respective teams. midfielder and Brownlow Medallist Patrick Dangerfield captained the Bolts, captain and fellow Brownlow winner Nat Fyfe captained the Flyers, forward Eddie Betts captained the Deadlys, and forward and three-time Coleman Medallist Jack Riewoldt captained the Rampage. Teams were live-drafted from a pool of available players by the captains, although by pre-agreement the Deadlys team was drawn entirely from Indigenous players. The teams had 14 players each, with eight on the field and six on the bench. Rule changes A new rule was added to the competition in which teams could nominate one of their players on the field to be the Gatorade Game Changer for the last five minutes of the game. The value of a behind, goal, or super goal scored by a Game Changer would be twice as much as it would for any other player, making them worth two, twelve, and twenty points, respectively. == Draft ==
