State of origin WA/ VIC

[crows dude]

Seriously ??

On bench with hammy iced up

 

[ams4crows]

**** Sate of Origin! We had one player out there! One and they get injured

 

[cleanhands]

FFS Ah Chee done his hamstring.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

FFS Ah Chee done his hamstring.

Awareness or injury?

 

[George CantStandYa]

One player and he’s injured

 

[Tex Danger]

On bench with hammy iced up

hopefully he had a minutes limit after a slower PS and he’s reached it (even though it doesn’t look like that)

 

[cmndstab]

**** sake. Sure, why not?

 

[Bovo]

Ah Chee is everywhere

Hamstring injury

 

[1990crow]

Lets pack up 2026

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

One player and he’s injured

This season is cursed.

Have pretty much lost all interest now.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Awareness or injury?

His leg is being iced... but the boundary rider has been silent.

 

[AFC3000]

Well this it’s fantastic, just what we need.

Question though, if you had SA vs VIC/WA State of Origin on one channel and let’s say Crows vs Collingwood preseason game on another which are you watching live?

 

[Bovo]

**** Sate of Origin! We had one player out there! One and they get injured

It’s February and it’s not a serious injury

 

[Daniel6]

27 days until we play Collingwood

If it’s a bad hamstring, he could miss first 2 games.

 

[Scorpus]

We don't play for a month, a hamstring will have little to no impact

 

[Minor Threat]

One player and he’s injured

Might just be a bit sore after his 4 kicks

 

[Peter Doherty]

Calm down.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Might just be a bit sore after his 4 kicks

More likely his run with 3 or 4 bounces in a row...

Tell me why it stopped for 25 years then.

The AFL doesnt need it because 40K plus go to nearly every game, NRL is a suburban comp played largely in tinpot stadiums.

Players are pulling the pin halfway through the 3rd quarter.

When the game went professional clubs frightened themselves and this convinced fans that to be afraid of injuries it will cost grand finals.

The inception of the soulless Allies really didnt help and SOO faded quickly with clubs undermining it and convincing players to avoid the game. It was the perfect storm when combined with the professional era.

I do think there is room for the carnival to come back. The players want it representative football and I think if done right it could be a must watch on the calendar. If im in the minority so be it. I can live without it. I just enjoy it.

Wow.

 

[AFC3000]

Hopefully he’s just aware that he has a hamstring…

 

[adelaidecrows]

100%

But thats another thing clubs wouldn't allow, especially finals participants

No id run it in conjunction with grand final week. Grand finalists miss out.

Players were withdrawing on their own accord and fans weren't showing up, interest died with the advent of the interstate clubs.

Yes the Allies were a disaster but the reality is unless you played Victoria no one cared, even then it was a tough sell.

We've moved passed it.

Youd be missing a fair chunk of the best players then.

Its a nostalgic concept, but not a good one.

players withdrew because like the fans they were convinced it will cost premierships. Its fine. It was a new professional era and frankly SOO probably had to die at that time so the game league could focus on this. I dont think it helped that they kept changing the selection rules and this disenfranchised players either. For this to be successful everyone has to buy into it. The fans will come along if the players buy into it.
