Sainter, your example of the Rugby League SOO does not translate over to the AFL because nearly all of the players who play rugby league come from 2 states NSW and QLD. The NRL SOO has so much passion because when they hold these games they are virtualy the best vs. the best, this is not true in AFL.

No matter which state plays each other it will never be the best vs. the best, so unless the AFL comes up with a month long carnival with all states involved (will never happen) or an all star game it's hard to see the relevance of a SOO game as we have known them.
