Pretty unique in the sense that weve got one for the first time in 12 years.
Be very very f#%^* unique if a dockers coach ever got one
Mate im sorry - we arent talking u18’s
a coupla years ago i think a vic soo side would have just pipped ours with too much depth in the midfield - but not now - weve got a killer soo team atm - if you could play 44 players in an soo team yeah victoria would win every year - but you dont - its 22 and theres 22 talented wa players out there
Our ruck would be the obvs weakness with nn injured esp -
Tommy Barrass, alex rance, brad sheppard
Nathan wilson, jez Mcgovern, mitch duncan
Elliot yeo, Patrick Cripps, nat fyfe
Lance franklin, jack darling, michael walters
Jamie Cripps, josh kennedy, jesse hogan
Ruck - p ryder, aaron sandilands
Int - mark hutchings, tom mitchell, jaeger omeara
Id back that team any day

Never going to see what the fans want, the AFL genuinely place the fans voice well down the bottom of their list.
Now you're just clutching at straws, about 0.002 % of the population north of the Murray give a flying about the AFL.
Your argument is on very shaky ground, it's like saying that some of us from wa follow nrl (I don't) so we better look after them as well as everyone else because we can please everyone all of the time.
Got any changes you can think of
We are talking about over time, not the here and now.
If Victoria fielded just 2 sides, EVERY YEAR, they would dominate, just like the u18's do.
Where do you think clubs draft players from?
kranky al and reality mix like oil and water.
Most AFL talent comes from WA
10 Victorian clubs should become 2
The MCG and Flemington must be relocated to WA for the sake of fairness
Like I said, WA entitlement is a thirst that can never be quenched.
The likes of kranky al will never, ever stop whinging and complaining and demanding ever more advantages. Even if his team were advantaged to the point that it were guaranteed premiership victory every year, he'd still feel the victim and continue to complain incessantly about how unfair it all is.
It's a cultural thing

I haven't caught up on the thread but I assume West Coast supporters are happy as they get to play Melbourne in Alice Springs which reduces the travel burden on the team.

Great line up, id have Coniglio and Walters in for Hutchings and Sheed
Of course they aren’t happy.
They aren’t interested in the fact that the league attempts to reduce their travel burden.
Unless they are playing at Optus or the G it is a disgrace.
I actually agree with walters - dont know what i was thinking there - have edited appropriately
But hutch no way.
The vics will have someone needs a taggin’ - and hutch deserves the opportunity to make sidebum his bitch 4 times in a season....
We had one player who had never played the g in the granny, a heap with one game or two, or three.
How many collingwood players had that little experience on the grand final venue?
Nooice lineup.It's all hypotheticals obviously but it would be a cracking contest.

The rucks really stand out as a place where we are thin on the ground and with the new rules hurt us even more - ive gone for 2 to wear gawn down.
Im backing yeo head to head on danger / martin and hutchings to put a gimp mask and chain on sidebum.
Shep to go to degoey
Who cares?
The majority of the Collingwood team hadn’t even played a final before this year and only a couple of veterans had GF experience back from the 10-11 period.
Random games in June are no preparation for a GF.
WC had the edge as half the team played in a recent GF.
We earned that gf - you get experience on the mcg most weeks
And it showed when you burst out of the blocks with six straight goals.
No way you do that at optus
Well we had state of origin for how many years? You didnt dominate then.
As i said theres only 22 players in a side.
??
We burst out of the blocks in our first ever game at Optus...kicked 3 goals in 5 minutes.
You fail to grasp that GF experience is more important than some random game at the G in June.
WC benefited from half the team losing the GF in 2015, they had the GF experience.
Yet you only named three interchange players!!
