List Played State of Origin when not originating from that state

[35Daicos]

From memory Victoria had 3 teams playing that weekend, the weakest or apparently the weakest was playing the ACT, although that is extremely debatable, the ACT was revved up to beat the Vics

I went to the game as a young fella, i think it was at Manuka Oval rather than the old Football Park in Phillip, not sure of the reasoning behind that decision.

Manuka Oval is bigger than the MCG and now has the old MCG scoreboard, not sure when that was installed, but i think in the 1980's.

Jack Fingleton scoreboard strikes a chord.

Yes, 3 teams did play for Victoria that weekend. Victoria (A) beat WA by 21 points, Victoria (B) beat Queensland by 80 points, and obviously ACT had a famous win over the 3rd Victorian side.

That game was played at Manuka Oval. Match reports for all 3 games can be found in the links I posted above. I'm not sure why Malcolm Blight was only in the 3rd Vic. team, he was probably rather miffed at that!

Now the Jack Fingleton scoreboard is getting used for the biggest summer of Canberra cricket since it was relocated from the Melbourne Cricket Ground to Manuka Oval in 1983, resurrected from the scrapheap for $110,000.

ACT had Cowboy Neale playing and pretty sure he is a Vic, he was coaching Ainslie, it really was the pinnacle of Canberra football and the pinnacle of Australian football in Canberra, soon after and i am not sure what year the Canberra Raiders RL team started, when to push the Australian code even further in Canberra a AFL team should have started or been relocated before Sydney, the Raiders started in Queanbeyan not Canberra because the NSW town across the border was a RL town, debateable whether Canberra was, it actually probably wasn't.

Footy seems to have picked up again in the last couple of years in Canberra, GWS has certainly helped

Any of those Victorians play state football again after losing to ACT?

Dipper, Ashman, Serafini and Icke definitely did.

The (possible) lineup can be found here ^ in The Canberra Times from the day of the match. Barker, Buckley, Edmond, Lee, Marcou, Neagle and Turner as well all played for Victoria in the future.
