Hotel? Trivago.
Just an idea I wanna put out there.
A State of Origin for AFLTM could work like this:
In Round 20 of the AFL, we start week 1 of our finals series, with the Grand Final coming in Round 23. That leaves 4 weeks of action for the players that aren't participating in the finals.
I would propose that during those 4 weeks we have a Round Robin competition between 4 State of Origin teams (Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and the Allies), with each team playing eachother once in the first three weeks of finals and then a Grand Final between the two best teams as a 'curtain raiser' for the AFLTM Grand Final.
The 4 coaches would be determined by either actual State of Origin eligibility, or even the state/territory their team is in, and it would only be open to coaches who missed the finals.
In terms of player selection, coaches would be able to name a squad of 40 players at the beginning of the tournament that are the only players allowed to be used. In Week 1, only players from clubs that have missed the finals are available, but from each week onwards, players from eliminated finals clubs would become available for selection. Coaches can choose players from finals clubs but run the risk of never being able to use them.
Let me know what you think of the idea.
