All time State of Origin sides

[Bunk Moreland]

Vic

B: M Scarlett - S Silvagni - F Bourke
HB: B Doull - E Whitten - J Rantall
C: K Greig - W Hutchison - R Flower
HF: G Ablett Sr - B Quinlan - R Reynolds
F: L Matthews - A Lockett - J Coleman
R: S Madden - R Barassi Jr - G Ablett Jr
I: C Judd - R Skilton - K Bartlett - A Goodes

Put together reasonably quickly

However I don’t think you could name 22 other players in history who would beat them.

 

[SSSSSS]

OK here's my hot take.

B	Brad Hardie	Ross Glendinning	John Worsfold
HB	Denis Marshall	Glen Jackovich	Simon Black
C	Peter Matera	John Todd	Nicky Winmar
HF	Brian Peake	Lance Franklin	Gary Buckenara
F	Jeff Farmer	George Doig	George Moloney
FOLL	Polly Farmer	Nat Fyfe	Bill Walker
INT	Stephen Michael	Steve Marsh	Ben Cousins	Jim Krakouer
EMERGENCY:
Backs	Alex Rance	Darren Glass	Luke McPharlin	David Hart	Mitch Duncan	Harry Taylor
Mids	Barry Cable	Patrick Cripps	Peter Bell	Dean Kemp	Mark Bairstow	Jack Sheedy
Forwards	Bernie Naylor	Austin Robertson Jr	Ted Tyson	Josh Kennedy	Phil Krakouer	Derek Kickett
Rucks	Dean Cox	Aaron Sandilands	Graham Moss	Merv McIntosh

Gee stiff for Cable to miss.

Gee stiff for Cable to miss.

Yeah tough to leave Cable out as rover. Walker was a contemporary of his that won 3 Sandovers and Steve Marsh was a bit before them and part of a South Freo team that won 6 premierships in 8 years. Maybe Cable for Cousins, but didn't want to skew too much towards the older generations (plus you can't have enough Bullcreek-Leeming boys in).

Considered including Hayden Bunton Snr & Jnr as well but they were born in Victoria.

I think Bunton Sr is NSW… born and raised in Albury.

And certainly in the conversation to for the best player to ever live.

 

[masai tu]

For who? It’s easy to say names but who goes in and out?

S. Michael to Ruck.

Cox to have an arm wrestle with Mossy for the second ruck.

Polly was the numero uno ruck, but as he was pre 1977, I’ll not consider him for this exercise.

Genuinely forgot about him, but I agree he probably should be in.

 

[Lingsface]

H Taylor was ok but......

2 premierships 2 all australians - 2 more than Worsfold....

Queensland's is probably the weakest of the 6 states.

Who said anything about Woosh....Bluey McKenna trumps Taylor sorry....but nice try
If your trying for Taylor playing fwd then he gets absolutely spanked by Gary Buckenara!

Backline and give it 5 years a new Taylor takes his spot anyway, just cost cutting on locker doors!

Dale Weightman was the king of State of Origin footy bloke dominated these games

H Taylor Cripps Kerr Glendenning

Have missed a lot of big names jackeviech glending sumich just to name a few and Nicky winmar should be a certainty

 

[Butters and Pepper]

I think the other Victorian players under consideration would be - Paul Roos, Peter Daicos, Robert Harvey, Greg Williams, Peter Knights, David Dench, Gary Ayres.

 

[Butters and Pepper]

Have missed a lot of big names ,winmar jackeviech Pav glending sumich just to name a few

Pav? Presumably you mean Pavlich, he's from SA.

 

[Tasmanian saint]

Yep just fixed that had a memory blank there

Dale Weightman was the king of State of Origin footy bloke dominated these games

One of the greats forgot about him I remember watching him as a kid he came and coached in the Tasmanian league after he retired from afl hard as nails

 

[Butters and Pepper]

Brian Royal is another who I recall was a key member of some Victorian SOO sides in the 80s.

 

[Lingsface]

Whatever that means

Sam Taylor

 

[Lingsface]

Have missed a lot of big names jackeviech glending sumich just to name a few and Nicky winmar should be a certainty

Where are they playing and who for?
Jackovich vs Rance and Mcgovern
Sumich vs Kennedy Franklin
Winmar vs Matera and Cable

 

[Cleansweep17]

2020 SOO BOG medalist D Martin for VIC

 

[Guardian Hawk]

This is a New South Wales side?
Interested to see the all time.

My attempt:

B: D. Rampe, L. Barry, C. Mills
HB: D. Caroll, G. Strang, J. McVeigh
C: S. Crawford, P. Kelly, I. Smith
HF: J. Hird, W. Carey, T. Daniher
FF: T. Hawkins, B. Mohr, L. Breust
R: B. McGregor, L. Hayes, H. Bunton Snr
I: B. Kirk, J. Longmire, N. Davies, B. Brownless
Sub: M.Maclure

Very strong side for a non-football state, especially the forward line (and midfield).

Gulden, Green (maybe Heeney?) to potentially force their way in over the next 5-10 years.
