Four Sydney Swans stars will line up in the realestate.com.au AFLX competition to take place at Marvel Stadium on Friday February 22 from 7pm.
Isaac Heeney, Luke Parker, Josh Kennedy and Aliir Aliir were all selected in Wednesday night’s inaugural AFLX draft conducted between team captains Patrick Dangerfield, Eddie Betts, Nat Fyfe and Jack Riewoldt.
Heeney was the first Swans player selected when Fyfe used pick 14 to select the exciting midfielder who is suited to the shortened format contest.
Also lining up for the Flyers alongside Heeney will be co-captain Josh Kennedy and Aliir Aliir who were both selected by the Fremantle on-baller.
A highlight of the night is sure to be the Gatorade game changer role which sees one nominated player from each side's points worth double in the last five minutes of each match.
The four teams are competing for a prize pool of $50,000, with $30,000 given to the nominated charity of the winner, $10,000 to the runner-up and $5,000 each to the other two teams.
Team Deadly are playing for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation, Team Bolts for Variety SA, Team Rampage for Maddie’s Vision and Team Flyers for the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
