State of Origin will never work in the AFL as every State plays Footy.

It is only popular in League because only 2 States play it.

And yet that sad little half of one country fumbling stumbling shit show is ..... desperate ... to do it
hell bent to do something other then .... St Killed it V Whorethorn
Foostsmell V Collington .... its admin knows that crap is growing very ...... very old

so in their depths of desperation
this is what they came up with ?

[azif]

While the NRL has
The most watched domestic comp
The most watched interstate comp
The most watched womens sports at the above levels
The fastest growing international scene in the region

AFL has state of origin as a

preseason comp

Rugby League could be extremly Popular in Perth and Melbourne.
And State OF Origin would still be Very Popular.

it would actually probably be more popular, as teams situated in those states get more involved.
with players in there team (Perth for example) played for NSW and QLD

this happened with the Storm being in the NRL. With players playing for Melbourne Storm that played for the MAROONS>
Now we see 400k Plus from Melbourne tuning into a game NSW v QLD (this figure does not include Regional Victoria or BVOD

In theory the concept works as you have players from states all over the country generally. The players would love it and say they do. And the public seem to want it.

In practice - players see it as a marquee / exhibition type game -it would not take priority over home and away - and thus finals. So as we saw when it was on - many olayets had to be forced to play - to the point if they said they were injured the AFL/VFL insisted it was verified by the AFL”s own doctor. The problem here was that players often played injured in home and away - and a week off was seen as a chance to rest up the injury. Coaches hated it because they didn’t want their players getting injured or reported in a SoO match. And fans would be upset if a star player got injured or reported - as could cost their team a win. I remember all of the above all too well. And Iif anyone thinks it was about the Victorians always winning in a landslide I have previously posted the scores up until it was cancelled - and that was not bore out by the evidence.

Rugby League could be extremly Popular in Perth and Melbourne.
And State OF Origin would still be Very Popular.

it would actually probably be more popular, as teams situated in those states get more involved.

SoO is indeed a popular thing in Victoria as it is a marquee thing. You’ll also see other marquee games such as baseball or even when the nfl come - rate well and draw crowds. Grand finals also the same for both codes. I know many Storm fans pissed that their team was hobbled because of missing players due to SoO.

When the arl can fields a Victorian state of origin that would be good.

I thought it would be good to have Storm go up against nsw and/or qld - with Storm getting to keep all their qls born players. Would be interesting. That would draw a lot of interest in Victoria.

This 2 state thing from fumblers is hilarious

Their Admin are saying different , our fans are clueless & we NEED to keep pace with RL who now have 3 very successful levels of their game
And we have 1 , that is STILL only popular in the smaller half the country

Baseball or NFL ??
they have not even played in Melbourne yet ?? and of course NFL is going to be BIG its the first NFL for points ever...
its gurantted to sell out... and its not because of Melbourne any CIty in Australia would of sold out.

State of ORIGIN gets 3 games poer year good ratings..

See state of origin will never become a Victorian thing in Rugby League even if they had 100 players..
You have to grow up with State of Origin to understand (it stays with NSW v QLD)
