No offense mate, but if you are having Miller, Petterd, and Bizzell in a rep side then questions have to be asked. Perhaps if Queensland allied with NT and NSW with Tassie.

Just a thought.

'Allies' team was the worst thing about SOO football. Why would blokes from those states want to play?

Would be better with each state going it alone, and perhaps having divisions like u/18 championships to make sure games are competitive.

vic vs SA

qland/tas vs wa/NT/nsw

play them the weekend before the season starts. vic vs sa at the g. the other game either in syd or qland, depends where the afl wants to develop most (although tas deserves it the most because they actually like footy).

the nab cup finishes a week before the season any way...

the games could be played satruday arvo at the g then sat night in syd. vic fans will turn up no matter what, nsw fans will like the night spectacle. do a delayed start ie 240 so it finishes 515-530 then start the other one early, 640 and have an hour off in between. tv ratings would be awesome. the fans would love it.

give the fans something they want for a change afl!

Pretty weak team. Petterd in the middle after three games? I rate him, but :blink:

Miller on a flank isn't terrible - if people thought about him in that way instead of expecting him to be a CHF he might not get as much criticism. Still shows the (lack of) depth in a QLD side.

Interesting to see Lillico named.

That team wouldn't even beat Melbourne!

If SOO is gonna take off it has to be popular straight away.

The AFL won't go for it but next year it should be SA v Victoria and Tasmania v WA.

Start with the traditional football states. The AFL could then look to introducing NSW and Queensland teams in later years.

Deanox, why would a proud state like WA go for playing in a mixed team with NSW?

Just a question.. We have state of origin being proposed for the mid-season break or as a pre-season comp, but why can't it be played at the end of the season? I know people would like to finish the year with the cilmax of the grand final, but who's to say the state of origin couldn't become soemthing similar?

It just seems with the injury concerns it's the most sensible option, it would also reward the representing players for a full season of good form. As for the football public, it would give people who's team wasn't in the finals something to look forward to.

Agree roulette.

I've posted it before but I'd like to see the season like this...

4 weeks NAB Cup, Premiership season and finals, week off, state of origin, week off, 2 weeks international rules.

It's off the topic but I think the AFL needs to take the initiative with International rules. The Irish will not be keen if things continue like last year.

The AFL should pay for the Irish team to come tour. They should play two games in Melbourne (the new rectangular stadium would be a great venue) every year. Forget this tour of Ireland junk. Its just Aussie players on the [censored]. Keep it as professional as possible.

How about three divisions with promotion/relegation.

Div 1. Vic v SA

Div 2. WA v Tas

Div 3: Qld/NT v Nsw/ACT

winner of each game goes up a division and the loser down one for the match the next season

Would give 3 games a year over a carnival weekend. Friday night Sat night and Sunday arvo games.

Surley the coaches would prefer just the one game a year rather then two.

Like the relegation promotion idea, I think the AFL should listen to the players in regards to when it's played as it is them that play, After week 7 seems most appropriate IMO

The funniest thing about that side is the players that missed out. How would you feel if you were a Queenslander who couldn't even make the 22?! Getting beaten on the ground by Petterd and Armitage, on the bench by Merrett and Renouf who hasn't played a game, and Bizzell in emergencies. What did poor old Brett Voss do wrong?!

That's what I was thinking DD. Brett Voss should be a walk up start to that 22.

I like kieranbj's idea of the divisions, it's a good one. The Allies idea was the biggest crock I'd ever seen. I certainly didn't feel represented by that side.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
