Im all for it at the top level.
This isnt even SA v Vic its the SANFL v VFL.
Sorry but have no interest on it and judging by the attendences not many others do either. Would be very surprised if more than 2-3k rocked up for it
Theres too many good things that come from representative footy to list....at any level!
You are right jim, its our comp versus theirs, the reason for all rep footy.
Its a reward for the coaches and players that are the best available and a great learning tool to see if we are in fact doing it right.
State of origin is done, but the basic concept was...were our players better than the Vics, or whoever.
I for one think state footy is great to watch and even better to be part of.
