I thought it was 1990, and only a VicB team - which included New South Welshmen, some of whom also beat Victoria.
At least with IR both sides clearly are representing something meaningful. In the case of IR, their countries.
It is not our sport. Australian rules football at highest standard it can be played and been meaningful is representative football like state v state. Nothing can replace state of origin football. Club football is a lower level of our sport. It is so stupid the highest level has been allowed to be neglected for the sport itself.
Good hit out for these players to get a game under their belts without any injuries. Good for the spectators to see great lineups and great for the younger players like Papley to tell their grand children that he kicked 5 goals in a state of origin match.

It was for a great cause but as a south australian I had zero emotional investment in the game and unfortunately turned it off at half time
I can understand that for a South Aussie. If your own team had played you would have had emotional investment and smashed your tv off at half time instead with being ten goals down.

Apart from the fact the gambling companies donated all their winnings to the bush fire appeal, yes.

Not at all. I grew up watching the ACT team play NSW, Tassie, Qld, Nt. We may not have always come out on top, but we were competitive and we loved it. If anything the second tier of states has more reason for SOO than the Vics, there's something to gain.
Can you supoprt this?
I am fairly sure the NRL gets higher tv numbers over a season? Revenue is also very similar and NRL woujld have lower expenses s is arhuably more profitable.
Is the NRL or AFL winning the bums-on-seats and TV battles?
Of Australia's two leading football codes, which is filling the stadium stands, and which is dominating the TV ratings battle?

Excellent that it was for the Bushfire appeal. Outside of that, it was a bit ho-hum.
SOO is dead because the coaches don't want it. There's much to lose and not much to gain from a club perspective. Injuries to 'stars' for a game that won't help you win 4 points would be intolerable.
The Good: The Bushfire Appeal
The Bad: Martin BOG?
The Ugly: Anyone who watched Tom Papley kicking goals from all angles and was part of the 2019 trade period at Carlton would be a tad embarrassed about now.

Oh it was a game that should have been appreciated as just a game with no strings attached.
Players were always going to be a little bit easier on their limbs and joints etc...
It was not going to appeal to all those who had none of their favourite players to support.. big or small..
But it stuck in the memory of all those who wanted to do something for someone in dire straits.

The AFL always gets higher tv monies and that includes with state of origin. The games overall revenues would be close to double the NRL's (ie including club football revenues)
