Hmmmn just starting to get my attention with our boys plus our exe’s on show I will definitely be watching the game, how good for big Max to get a Big V as well. It will be bittersweet playing against Hoges, Jacko and Kysaiah in WA colours.

why are the vics - with the exception of mcluggage - looking up and to the left and the wa lads - with the exception of clark and jackson - looking up and to the right?

Honestly I'll be stoked to see big Max represent the Big V and yet again follow in the footsteps of his early mentor Jimmy. It baffles me that he wasn't in the first batch announced, like how would the current All Australian ruck and all time most capped All Australian ruck not be an automatic selection for the Big V.

While I wouldn't begrudge The Bont being named as captain, I really think it should go to Max this year. Bont will get future opportunities and I think Max would have the better presence on and off the feild for this rebirth of Sate of Origin. They'd just better not name Jerremy Cameron captain.

Seeing Kossie and Jessy line up with other greats and favourites like Charlie Cameron will be something of a treat.

I'm actually really looking forward to them bringing back State of Origin footy, but must say I'm disappointed that the AFL have gone about it somewhat half assed in a several respects:

1. It should have been mixed in closer to or in the middle of the season proper

2. They should have played the first one back for a while at the MCG. A packed house of 100,000 screaming Vic's would be a much better spectical than 60,000 in Perth

WA teaming shaping up into a bit of a Dees player reunion

Kinda.

I don't think Kossie and Jacko would have been at the club at the same time as Jesse would they?

My gosh, just think of the future forward line we'd have if they were all still in the red and blue.

Does make me a bit sad. I didn't really want to see Jesse go and while it ultimately allowed us to get Maysie whom was such an integral part of out premiership team, Jesse would be a real asset to hold together our forward line in the transition to the new guard. That said, we now have Brody to assist, bit it's nor quite the same. Such a wasted opportunity for the MFC, I wished we could have got Jesse back when he left Freo as maybe he'd have been the difference in 2023.

They're eyeing off their opponents with the Vics looking west and the WA lads looking east, while keeping a lookout for marauding seagulls.

I feel ya!

Although there was an interview with Jessie where he talked about how being unknown in Sydney was so important for him, and how good some beachy sporty place had been for him to set himself up to perform. So I wonder if he wouldn't have been able to achieve that at Melb if he did return...

I love it that we ask the big questions on this Board.

Must say I'm worried what will happen if I hand out my DL user name as part of my next ESTA application for USA. Then again Satanic Worship is probably a recognised religion over there so Demonland might not ring any of the wrong bells.
