View Full Version : According to the AFL, Victoria is the only State worthy of representing our great sport.
Non-Victorian football states, lift your game please.
South and Western Australia have been classified with developing AFL States QLD, NSW, Tasmania, NT and the ACT. While I'm sure that jumper will look awesome, it's time for you to stop holding this great game back. Show a bit of heart. Some pride even.
Then you may one day be worthy of your own State guernsey. :thumbsu:

According to the VFL you mean?
To make it fair, they should play the game at either AAMI or Subi.
It should have been origin or nothing.

i'm reasonably sure the vic vs the rest thing is because footy's state of origin is victoria, and not because it's mean to be a SOO competition

i didnt say it wasn't a national game, shit-for-brains. it is a national game, but it was invented in victoria - it's origins are in victoria. understand? now stop posting rubbish threads.

Imagine if Aussie Rules started in SA. SA vs Australia.
How would you feel about not having a team represent your state, instead a hybrid team with a gay guernsey.
Its a celebration of FOOTBALL not the AFL. Football's main three states in which it was bred (if it has only existed in Vic it would have died) were SA, Vic and WA. Makes sense to have Origin team's, as it always has been.
The AFL is so Victorian Biased, it will be its undoing and the reason Soccer will become the main sport of this country, sadly.

It's either this concept or nothing. If Victoria played SA, Western Australians and other states would go mad. And vice versa with WA.
From what I can tell there is a general hatred for Victorian football amongst all the other states, so this is the perfect opportunity to band together and try and show us that we're not as good as we crap on to be.
If this game didn't have Victoria in it, and wasn't played at the greatest stadium in the world, we wouldn't be doing Australian Rules Football and its history justice

So forming a random team called the All Stars playing against a team called Victoria (but not the state of origin team apparently) which has nothing to do with the founding of the game, and playing at a ground which has nothing to do with the founding of the game is doing it justice.
Its a load of crap, and only Victorians are happy about it because they have a team representing them.
What are they getting out of it, nothing. Maybe they might sell a few tickets, but they have pissed more people off then they would have if they simply didn't have a match at all.

God, there's nothing more pathetic than a South Australian with a chip on the shoulder slagging the evil Vics.
If you don't like it, go and watch SANFL and get enough people to do it so SANFL becomes powerful enough to supercede the hated Victorian competition.

How the **** can you classify Tasmania in the same 'developing' boat as NSW, QLD and the ACT? You must have no idea about the history of AFL outside of your own backyard, you ignorant nuff. I would probably classify Tasmania more as a dying football state rather than a developing one. Because the powers that be in the AFL continue to seek the cash in West Sydney and QLD, and ignore the most tried and true football state, AFL will die a slow and painful death. 4 games a year from a nothing club like Hawthorn against interstate sides will not cut it. I'm just waiting for an A-League team to establish itself in Tassie, and the AFL to come scurrying back with its tail between its legs.

I cant beleive this at all, bloody f***ing vic's think there the best thing since a footy was first stiched together + think a SA or WA team wouldn't stand a chance. all i can say now is typical.

The Vics vs All-Stars game is a celebration of Aussie Rules to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the first ever game played between Melbourne Grammar and Scotch College at the parklands where the MCG now stands.
I personally would have like to have seen a 4-team origin format: Vic, SA, WA and Allies (Qld/NSW/ACT/NT/Tas and even possibly the Irish). Play Vic vs SA and WA vs Allies then have the winners face off against each other in the final.

i have one go back to the old set up where there is one SOO game a year but only play one every 2-3 years so it dosnt get boring.
Say Vic vs SA 2008, then the winner stays in to play WA in 2010 then the winner stays in to play the Vic's who lost back in 2008. :thumbsu:

Tasmanians aren't going to flock to see a second rate bunch of players in a second rate competition together with a bunch of fly-ins who don't really want to be there from a rubbish club like the Kangaroos (thank **** that is gone). There are better players playing in other competitions in Tasmania who either cant be ****ed with the whole devils **** around, or who are who can't afford to give up their lives to get paid peanuts to play in a shit competition.
For the op to place us in the developing category makes him look retarded. Our history is as long as any other state, and we have produced some of the greats of hte game. Unfortunately, we wont be for much longer if the AFL keeps pissing on us.

Cool, I didn't realize you guys had an AFL team down there. Obviously Tassie is a fully-fledged, AFL force, no development required.

Very disappointing that the AFL couldn't play Vic V SA and WA V Allies (Tas, Qld, NSW, ACT and NT) or any other combination between the four teams. People have to be realistic and realise that playing Tas, Qld, NSW, ACT or NT in their own right just won't ever happen again. I would love to see Richo in a Tassie guernsey. Sorry to anyone in those states but yeah it just won't happen again.
As for those in WA and SA, i'd be pissed too. But the one thing that stands out, is that this competiton of ours was once known as the VFL, made up of Victorian teams who branched out and put NEW teams in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. There are 10 Victorian teams, and 6 teams from other states. Just under half the players in the competition are from Victoria. Obviously there are enough players to field very strong teams for Victoria, SA and WA as well as enough combined to make up a strong Allies team but the AFL have chosen under alot of pressure from AFL clubs to run a one off match. This is not state of origin fools, its an exibition match and they decided to split the players between Victoria and the rest. If the SANFL had been the league that branched out and became the AFL then they would have done the same thing here, as would WA and any other state for that matter. It's a national game now but this exhibition game is cellabrating 150 years combining the old (Victoria and its football origin) and the current (every state playing the game).
I would have much preferred to have seen 4 teams, thus more players playing during that weekend but AFL teams won't allow it and quite possibly the best players wouldn't all turn up (fake injury etc). Wanks like Graham Cornes need to realise that this game is not state of origin. That concept is practically dead and buried. If he really wants SA to be represented fully then he should suggest that when the SANFL has a milestone year every state could combine to challenge the best SA has to offer. Fancy telling SA players to boycott when they have a chance to play with and against the best on offer in the one game. What a Fukmook!!!
It will be a highlight of the season and if everyone was to get behind maybe there could be scope for a proper return to State of Origin. Lets hope they select the teams on form and loyalty, not buzz players. Go Vics:thumbsu:

Indisputable evidence that Tassie aren't in fact an AFL backwater shithole and don't deserve to be lumped in with QLD, NSW, NT and the ACT.
Well done sir. :thumbsu:
Its great, when Victoria win it will prove forever that we are better then the rest of the world.
The scoreline will become a hot key to be pasted towards every interstate moron on BF!
Pathetic comebacks like "oh we didnt try", will be the pathetic little straw they will cling to. The poor human brain can only take so much, it will be a defence mechanism to stop them committing state suicide from overwhelming feelings of inferiority.

Hey at least our clubs over here don't have to rely on handouts from other clubs. Seriously Victorian football is losing its crediblity day by day (Bar Geelong + Collingwood).
Its just a shame the Victorian mindset is holding back the game ( Fonzie is changing that mindset slowly though)
