Victoria v The Dream Team...Why the game will be good for us Tiges !

Rubbish concept, what happened to wearing the state of origin with pride.

The only benefit will be to the VIC's what the hell is a dream team jumper...
 
I'd love to see them do an all star team that the public votes on (they don't actually play a game).

No issue with your idea, but WCE, Freo, Crows, and Port all veto.

Because their lists are strong with WA and SA players, they cry that they will have more players playing origin, which is unfair rest and injury wise.

The only reason the AFL went with the All-Star concept is the interstaters crying left them no choice (IMO).
hear you t74 ,but over 3 years that should cancel out the whingers,especially if they use the "wont play,dont play" rule

I know, but.....

Personally I think they should use the one weapon players and clubs both love, cash.

Proper state of origin, all 6 states (NT with QLD and ACT with NSW), BUT if you are a player you get $10k and your club gets $10k. Lets seem them cry then.
 
I just labelled the players as money grabbing, but to be fair they are donating their cash to the past players fund. A top action :clap
 
cornes is a typical south australian,they quite rightly have an inferiority complex towards victoria when it comes to footy.
i don`t know what they are whingeing for,it`s not a state of origin game it`s a one off celebration for 150 years of footy.
victoria is the greatest football state and always has been,we are the biggest footy state, have always had the biggest and best competition and the current comp is ours which the interstate clubs joined. so it was always going to be victoria versus whoever.
if the afl had have chosen SA over WA or vice versa one of them would have whinged anyway.

it`s pretty much a rubbish concept and i just hope none of our players get injured(that`s if any get a game ;D)

Graham Cornes and Ken Cunningham are the village idiots of Adelaide and are still living in the 70's (like most of Adelaide, I know).

How come the village idiot always gets the best looking chick though? :(
 
Based on current form (07) & reputations, can only think of a handful of Tigers in contention to play in this game. Richo, Foley, Bowden & maybe Simmonds if fit (Cox, Sandilands, Lade all being non Vics).
 
When will these amoebas understand that the reason why it is Vics v's The Rest isn't because we consider ourselves the best.
It is simply because 48% of all AFL players originate from Victoria.

yr joking on bowden. where's his spot?


Has been AA 2 of the last 3 years, so obviously some people rate him.
Also, I said in contention, not a certainty.
 
Without having even thought about who would be in each side & what style of gameplan the 'all-stars' would adopt, I'd say he could play either HBF or HFF. Even a very handy utility to have come off the bench for a variety of pinch hitting roles.
