Swans in the Hall of Fame tribute match???

[BSA5]

Goodes was born in horsham wasn't he,and then i think played his games for Ballarat in under 18's.

Nope, he was born in SA. I think it might have been in the same town MOL was born, because they're cousins, so it would make sense. In any case, I know Goodes was born in SA, but went to Horsham for school.

I can't say I'm as excited about this match. I agree with the SA and WA people who think it's a rort that only Victoria get to play for their own state.

From a NSW perspective, I still think there's a lot to the idea of ganging up on the Vics with the other states and beating the @@@@ out of them on the footy field. But I agree, it should probably be Vic, SA, WA and Allies. That would be a fairer system.

give this a go,it could be sensational.
this match is on the 10th of may and during the day all afl players will be going back to their original clubs,this will be sensational for grass roots clubs all over australia

Yeah I agree with you - and I'm a victorian.

Yep, it is another narcisstic AFL/VFL wank. I can't imagine they'll allow a Hall of Fame game for the 150th SA or WA anniversaries. I declare myself unavailable for this game!

O'Keefe's another with a pretty good shot at it, especially if he keeps up his early season form. And maybe Leapin' Leo too.

And Kennelly probably only has to be in half-decent form to get a gig because the attractions to the AFL of having a non-Australian take part are significant (they've already announced that those of non-Australian origin will wear their nation's emblem on their guernsey) and he's got to be the most likely of the Irish contingent.

Goodes, certainly, is a chance to get in primarily on reputation, though he may need to show a tad more form over the next month than he has for the past fortnight.

Not sure about Kirk. Although we all know he's a pretty good ball winner in his own right, there are still perceptions of him that he's primarily a shut-down player. And I can't see many players being picked for their tagging ability in an exhibition game of this nature.

Or, on the other hand it could be exclusively filled with Geelong players. (On both sides)

[Lucky Knickers]

I hope no one gets picked.

[Jeffers1984]

same.

I hope no one gets picked.

Killjoys...comments like this are why we no longer play SOO. If they are gonna get injured, it is gonna happen...should we stop them training just in case they get injured on the track??? I think it is awesome to see our best footballers all out on the same park, at the same time. Aussie Rules is not an International game (yet???) so this is the only real chance we get to see it...don't rob us of that!

[Triple B]

As a NSWelshman, I'm also pumped for this game.

The SA and WA folk need to realise things have changed and they would get slaughtered, no good for anything except possible injuries. I can't believe Vics cannot get excited by the prospect of proving themselves superior.

If my roster allows it, I'm seriously considering flying down for this game, I reckon it will be awesome.

[TheMase]

Should be East V West

NSW, QLD, VIC, TAS vs WA, NT and SA

That's one thing that hasn't changed. We always used to get slaughtered.

We're fighting for the right to be slaughtered individually, rather than as part of some Rest of The World team manufactured by Andy D.

Umm no.
But thanks for boosting my ego. I might write to Demetriou.

[reigning premier]

They're ALL under an injury cloud and not available for selection.

There are NO Swans available for this @@@@ concept dreamed up by some @@@@wit at AFL house.
