You VICs just don’t get it do you. To you the ‘US’ is the BIG ‘V’ of course so you can genuinely have a ‘TRIBAL’ loyalty.
What about the THEM? [Really as a ***VIC*** who cares] we are US and we can be TRIBAL but forget it if you are the ‘THEM’ from SA, WA, or Tassie, There is no tribal feelings for a ‘mixed team’, this is why VICs vs the ALLIES were such a flop.
WE the rest of Australia cringe at these sorts of suggestions, but its typical of the VFL arrogance which has being carried into the AFL. I believe most players want STATE OF ORIGIN, most of the THEM states want it, but a few precious former VFL clubs and their presidents put their vested [club] interest and their precious players, ahead of the good of the game nationally. Rugby shows us how important the ORIGIN concept can be.
AFL State of Origin: An alternative
Must agree with you Buzz, there are glaring inadequacies in the Adelaide list. It is very strange that the Crows did not pick up a genuine tall defender 2m+ or a genuine midfielder in the draft.
Please, Mr. Ogilvie can we have them this year? [Please don’t have another rush of blood and select another medium defender – no matter how good he is!]
Seriously though a very good report and it is only by sensible drafting, we will pull into the ‘Contender’ bracket. Sensible drafting is something we have been missing since ‘granma’ sacked Matty Rendell. [He seems to be doing very well at Collingwood.] Perhaps we should go cap in hand and ask him to come back?
