Last year, as part of Australian Football’s 150th anniversary, the AFL had a match between Victoria and ‘The Dream Team’, a game in which Victoria won.

What he said. Nothing worse than All-Stars and Allies, even in hypotheticals like this.

I reckon the midfield battle between Victoria's Greg Williams & Russell Ebert of The All Stars could effectively decide the outcome of the game. Also the ruck battle between Graham 'Polly' Farmer of the All Stars & Victoria's Simon Madden would also have a big effect into the way the game pans out. If I was to take a selection, I'd say the Vics win by 3 points in a classic encounter. What does the other members of the Roar think about who would win this game?
