That's a pretty bloody competitive side

Great thread. But what would be really interesting is if it would be possible to make a state of origin team from 2000 onwards that could beat the AFL team of the 20th century. Anybody reckon they could do it?
Loosely?

Steve Elkington (US PGA winner)
Tony Roche (French Open winner)

It really is. People are often surprised when they see the actual NSW/ACT team on paper. It could genuinely beat the South Australian State of Origin team, in fact it probably would beat the South Australian team.

They wouldn't want any injuries or sore players..
Outside of their best 22, there are only another dozen or so AFL-listed players from NSW (most of them unknown kids)
Gawn playing for kiwis?

That's where a handful of your best players from QLD, NT, and TAS come in. Surely there are a few who could replace some of the 22 in the NSW side.
Who would coach the respective State of Origin teams for Victoria, SA, WA, NSW/ACT, Qld, Tasmania, NT?
Longmire NSW, Goodwin SA, Fagan-Tasmania, Magic McLean -NT, Victoria - Voss, WA - Longmuir, Qld- Macrae, ACT- Hird

A NT/Queensland/Tasmania Allies team
FB Howe, Andrews, kolojashnij
HB Pearce, May, Aliir
C Hall, Weller, D Rioli
HF Mihocek, Hipwood, Motlop
FF J Reiwoldt, Brown, Cameron
FOL Nakervis, Greenwood, Parfitt
INT Chol, W Rioli, Webster, Dixon
Some really great talls both down back and up forward. A poor midfield though

Ill have a go at the WA team:
B: Will Powell Sam Taylor Starcevich
HB: Jordan Clark Marcus Adams Rich
C: Acres Patrick Cripps Chad Warner
HF: Colyer Aaron Naughton Logan McDonald
F: Lobb Franklin Charlie Cameron
Foll: Luke Jackson Shai Bolton Tom Mitchell
Int: Zac Fisher Liam Baker Coniglio Tim English
Top half of the teams dominate my team. With the Eagles struggling badly this season, I found it hard for 1 Eagle player to make my first 22. Defence is the WA strength, and there were some good names that had to be left out.

yep he was the first name that I had a bit of debate in my team. I dont rate his game style especially on the SCG grounds.
Struggling to find someone that could replace him?
Josh Kennedy, Darling, Georgiades, Waterman brothers, Ryan, Walters, Taberner all names that have missed injury or large chunks of the season and been in struggling sides.

I not seen many Saints matches but he never stood out to me in past.
However, had a look at coaches votes for season after your post and he in 31.
That indicates he up there for season so fair call.
Sinclair deserves his spot.
There no need for Allies.
Every state could have their own team.
I wish there was two weekends in early March for it every second year and there a first division and second division.
4 best states in division one and the the other 4 states and territories in second division.
NSW would be in division one for example.
SA v VIC and NSW v WA in first weekend. The two winners play second weekend for Australian Championship.
3rd and 4th play off to remain in division one for next championship with loser relegated to division two.
Winner of second division promoted in it's place for next championship two years beyond.
Representatives teams from places like ACT and NT still involved and it is just best from each territory or state whether in AFL or next level down out of AFL.
They could beat West Coast on a good day.
I wish something like this could be done, but there is no chance the clubs would allow it. The only possible time may be in post-season, where International Rules used to be played. But even then clubs pulled players out for "medical" reasons.
I'm not sure ACT would be competitive against NT or Tas, who themselves would not be able to compete with Qld most years. ACT and international players might just have to play in the state/territory of the first club they played for after age 16 if they don't qualify for any of the competing jurisdictions.
