As the NRL world focuses its attention on the second clash in the 2024 State of Origin series at the MCG on Wednesday night, we’ve taken a look at what the AFL version would look like.
Watch every game of every round this Toyota AFL Premiership Season LIVE with no ad-breaks during play on Kayo. New to Kayo?That means big-game players such as Toby Greene, Tom Stewart, Charlie Cameron and Tom Papley, who have been down on usual output this season, aren’t picked - though should an actual State of Origin series take place, they would surely be in the mix.
In terms of the toughest omissions, Luke Davies-Uniacke, Lachie Whitfield and Ed Richards were very stiff not to make the cut, while Sam Flanders and Bailey Dale have both had strong seasons off half-back but couldn’t get ahead of potential Brownlow winner Daicos or young gun Sheezel, who would be a stalwart of this team for years to come.
Given that South Australia and Western Australia would often beat Victoria just by themselves, unsurprisingly a team combining the two heartland areas plus the northern states is incredibly strong. Port Adelaide duo Connor Rozee and Jason Horne-Francis nearly made the cut and recently re-signed Swans forward Will Hayward was also in the mix.Last month, Melbourne champion and Fox Footy commentator Garry Lyon took to the SEN airwaves to voice his frustration, saying that it was a “disgrace” that there is no longer an AFL State of Origin series.
