This has always been my stance. Every year when NRL SOO rolls around, like clockwork the talkback is discussing a return for the AFL. But it just can’t work like it does in the NRL because we are actually a national game.
How about the All-Stars all wear their respective jumpers in colour, and Victoria wears a white jumper with a navy V?
Could the AFL have a 22 week season. Week 1, 8, 15 and 22 (Final) being State of Origin with 4 teams (WA, SA, Vic and Allies). The other 17 weeks are AFL teams where everyone plays each other once and their 'rival' twice. That way teams will be able to play roughly 2 months of footy with a bye each week, takes away the argument for biased fixturing and the majority of players will still have a bye week before playing finals. I think this would probably be the only way an actual SoO competition could work.
