Victoria v All Stars

[The Lurker]

Yeah ya right there @caesar and with the pies apparently having 5 involved it'll make for some pretty interesting matchups...... our youth v their youth.

Fox footy can have Adam Treloar cast his expert eye over 'em

is it possible that Eddie organised this as part of his package ?

 

[caesar]

Think it’s a great fundraiser, however imho state of origin means sfa in today’s footy , obviously injuries can happen at anytime , however don’t want to risk our players in this novelty when they could be getting game time with there young teammates

Mate why so negative, just as likely to get injured on your dodgy ground in Wang as playing in State game.

6 richmond players

We as supporters might hate it but I have the feeling these blokes see it as a massive honour!

I don't hate it, I love it!

well done
Shane and Bacher

no grimes???

Of all the positions, we can't risk a key defender. He should have been in but too risky for us.

Agree with this and lucky Dimma has full control

The one thing I'm jealous of the NRL for is the passion that they have over SOO matches. I'd love to see that back in the AFL.

Imagine watching Victoria's best 22 players play with intent for something that mattered. It would be something to behold.

That is all NRL has going for it. note all of the empty seating on the small NRL grounds in their H&A games in contrast to the SOO packed houses.

A good crowd at the NRL is about 10-15 thousand, in the AFL a good crowd is 50-60 thousand.

I should have phrased that as 'some' supporters hate it @caesar ..... I'm actually going, firstly to support the cause and secondly to see some of the best go head to head.
Like everyone else I'll be hoping no one from any club gets injured.

You wash your mouth out .
Other then it been an outstanding fundraiser for a great cause , it just means nothing to me , proves nothing , it’s not like a vfl side playing an SANFL side . Club footy mate that’s all it’s about , the other stuff is bordering on a gimmick to me now . In saying that if the boys want to play good luck to them

 

[TigerForce]

Hopefully the game is played in the same tempo of AFLX..
No injuries

Same here. This worries me especially at the rock hard Dump.

 

[TigerForce]

Gee, some nervous nellies on here.

At this time of year you've got guys as healthy as they can be playing scratch matches with young guys trying to win spots in the side. Match sims and the Marsh Cup are a much bigger risk.

A bit surprised to see Cotchin in, Grimes must have a niggle.

Rance going out in R1 was enough to make me paranoid. Anything could happen. Admittedly, watching Lynch throw his body around last season still made me nervous something bad was gonna happen.

 

[BrisTiger24]

Holy crap. Just saw the teams. Vics will poo it in won't they?

 

[kyuss]

Dangerfield should not be in that side. Has to be one of the most overated players ive seen in my time. Butcher of the highest order.

How did Tex Walker make the ALL Stars squad?

Offered to wear no. 9 so he can sit between Jack and Shane and hum the Richmond theme song.

 

[kiwitiger]

Cameron is in the All Stars team.
Grimes should've been selected for victoria

I think it was a case of we cant put more than 6 richmond players in,

If they were fair dinkum , first defender picked on recent form

 

[TigerPort]

We don't want to be risking our defenders

Agreed.

Yep
