So when Tasmania used to play their home matches, did they all get in on the one family ticket?Originally posted by Damien
The Allies DID kill state footy for sure.
Tasmania is a small but very proud football state and we have Being teamed up with NSW/QLD/NT and ACT was embarrasing. We would rather lose by 100 to Victoria than put up with that. (Tassie like NSW have beaten the Vic B side, plus in 1960 beat the Big V's A side)
They should do an annual SA v VIC and WA V Tas.

How would this NSW/ACT team look:
Schneider Hammil Staker
Davis Mooney Hird
Kennelly Hayes Mathews
Barry C Bolton Blumfield
M McVeigh Hall Bevan
Stafford Kirk Crawford
J McVeigh Playfair Fixter Henneman
Great midfield, solid forward line but a poor back 6. Couldn't find a spot for LRT.
Still I would love to see this team play.
B: P.Wiggins, Blight, Harrison
HB: Atkin, J.Rawlings, S.Wiggins
C: Beams, Green, B.Rawlings
HF: Robertston, Richardson, Riedwoldt
F: Bartlett, Lynch, J.Murphy
Foll: Street, Holland, Williams (c)
Int: Brooks, Davidson, Doering, Hazell

What killed State or Origin were the West Coast Eagles and Adelaide Crows. State footy was pretty big in the early 90s, and had the potential to become something.Originally posted by Damien

The AFL's problem is that more than two states are competitive unlike in NRL.
But as soon as the South Aussies and Sandgropers had football at the top level, the allure of state matches really dropped in significance.
State of Origin works well here because it is seen as the pinnacle of the sport, which in generally is. NSW-Qld is generally of a far higher standard than AU-NZ or AU-GB. And players are match hardened by Origin as well.
Origin (at least in NSW) attracts ring-in supporters who often attend about 1-2 NRL matches a year. The media whips things up into a frenzy. Hence people go. Because it is a spectacle, an event rather than just a sporting match. However people are saying that Origin isn't what it was.
I want my players to play for my club. Not some half-arsed fake contest with people from NT and Qld.
I don't want another Andy Collins situation.
