A SECRET trial of the AFL’s concept game, AFLX, conducted in Albert Park can be revealed. Players from VFL teams Port Melbourne and Coburg faced off behind closed doors at Lakeside Stadium on Friday night. It was the league’s third official trial of the shortened version of the game, inspired by Twenty20 cricket. Matches are played on a soccer pitch, with smaller teams and reduced playing time.
