I've chosen to go with 2001 as that was the year the Lions began their dynasty:
B: Marcus Ashcroft (QLD), Darryl White (NT), Xavier Clarke (NT)
HB: Lenny Hayes (NSW), Mal Michael (QLD), Peter Burgoyne (NT)
C: Jason Akermanis (QLD), Michael Voss (QLD), James Hird (ACT)
HF: Andrew McLeod (NT), Wayne Carey (NSW), Michael Long (NT)
F: Che Cockatoo-Collins (QLD), Alastair Lynch (TAS), Matthew Richardson (TAS)
Fol: Clark Keating (QLD), Nathan Buckley (NT), Shane Crawford (NSW)
Int: Nick Riewoldt (QLD), Darryn Cresswell (TAS), Shaun Burgoyne (NT), David Hale (QLD)
I've probably forgotten some players but you get the point. Would any other state have been able to beat the Allies team above in the 2000-2005 era?
