State Game?

[kid_a]

forgive what you might perceive as my 'ignorance', but is the WAFL playing a rep game against anybody this year? Being in QLD its a bit tricky to try and get hold of this info.
I tried scouting various websites, but all to no avail.

Yes the play Victoria.

kid_a as it is being played in Northam I expect it will be televised on ABC.

Completely agree after looking at it again today. Of many I don't like I'll pick one, how does Kayler-Thomson get a guernsey?

Dominated at Subiaco all season.

 

[swannies]

Dominated at Subiaco all season.

No he hasn't. I've watched at least 3 of their games and he was servicable, at best, in 1 of them, but if you want a bloke to put it all on the line in a contest, well, you best start looking somewhere else. He's not quick, he won't chase, he won't get his hands dirty.

 

[Underdog]

Flicked over to it. Disgustingly bad quality coverage. Flicked back.

 

[The_Reaper]

That has to be our first win in a long time.

Good to see.

 

[Underdog]

Great win by WA! Well done to Twomes on winning the Simpson Medal,

 

[Righteo]

The VFL must be in dire straits to lose to that WA side. Still, first win over the Vics since the 91' SOO game apparently

 

[Mighty Eagles]

Great for the WAFL to defeat the VFL for the first time in a long time.

Don't be fooled into calling it a state of origin match, it's simply the WAFL against the VFL.

Plenty of players (including our captain and vice-captain) from other states from both sides.

 

[kid_a]

that wa team could probably beat melbourne,gws and maybe dogs or suns if lucky

The VFL side was poorly put together, only had two training sessions before flying over.
Also, a lot of the better midfielders had injuries and withdrew from selection.

That said the better team won on the day.

 

[Mighty Eagles]

When was the last time the WAFL defeated the VFL in a state game?

 

[Underdog]

When was the last time the WAFL defeated the VFL in a state game?

1991 I think

 

[Eastern Rangers]

I was surprised. The Vics did really hit a wall though.

Kudos for going with Stack.

 

[Mighty Eagles]

1991 I think

No that was proper state of origin.

I was asking when the last time that the WAFL defeated the VFL was
