Disappointed but not surprised that the Vics are versing everyone else. No respect shown by the supposed afl again. Eagles and Dockers should demand state v state.

I guess it's the only way to get players from all states involved in a one-off game. They could have made it players from the eastern states of Vic, NSW, Tas and Qld versus a combined WA/SA team but the outcome would still be the same with a hybrid mix in each team.

Nothing's changed. Ardath cup 1977 they weren't even in it, the vfa represented victoria, vfl clubs too good? Watched the abc show the winners from 1980 the other day very few non vic players, eg Fitzpatrick & wiley. By 1982 almost half of all the teams were made up of interstate stars and it was getting worse every year. They raped the fk out of everyone with $ and the attraction of playing in the big league

Sad thing was DG most of those VIC VFL clubs offering up the big money to WA & SA players were actually broke back then as well.

Yes very sad mate

So the vices get to wear their own jumper, what will us, the poor cousins wear?

Would that have changed the result?

Bh I'm pretty sure back then the Wafl+Vfl where both bankrupt.But the Sanfl where in pretty good shape.They owned Football Park outright. And told the Vfl where to stick there expanded competition

I would imaging so - Yes

Can't see either stand alone State of Origin WA or SA team getting a go now after that Big V win....that last quarter certainly put those possibilities to bed quick smart.
