I think people take for granted how hard it is to transition from a forward pocket to a full time mid and continue to have so much impact. Credit to Kozz building his strength and tank to play full time mid.

Would love to see the next coach also play him out of the square at times and clear out the 50 for him.
Me too. I think he is one of the most dangerous 1:1 players in the league.

Kozzy named for WA
I'm keen as for this tbhView attachment 2494256

Keen until they inevitably turn it into a cringey carnival style game with gimmicks and everyone's all matey and going half arsed in which case I'll absolutely hate it.

Either a real game of footy between the two or bin it

This is one of the reasons I'm against it. There is no way the players take it seriously.
 
My mind is going to the AFLX experiment just some flashy fun. I also think of the Kreuza cup game TJ and s Scotland getting 40+ possession with zero pressure. Eddie Betts shrugging his shoulders after kicking an accidental goal because the ball made a leg break.

I remember the bush fire relief one off state of origin being highly skilled but with minimal pressure. I watched it with American's watching the game for the first time and they noticed it right away. Been my worry from the start with the revival it'll be like that, even if it's two proper states playing each other this time

Yeah that was fun to watch, but pressure was non existent.

Still though, it's the first "real" state of origin match since the 90s, so its not like we entirely know what it looks like. There's no heart in playing for the All Stars and there's no heart in beating the All Stars either.

I've got some Western Australian mates and they're keen as, and they're are a proud bunch too - idk if that will seep into the players though
 
Some fans want it to be bruise free because they're worried about injuries, which I think is just a horse crap excuse working against it.
I think it will be more like a preseason game. Probably some of the star players on limited minutes and players not up to full speed in terms of skill and touch, but with some pressure. I hope the clubs and players get right behind it. AFL are giving it a real chance of being resurrected here.

Having said that. Vics by 12 goals
 
Bushfire wasn't state of origin it was Vic vs the rest. That's just for fun. They really need to learn into bit personalities from both states getting behind it
Chris Scott needs to act like even more of a smug campaigner in his pressers.
