Calls to bring back AFL State of Origin

A local difference. Very easy, but I'm gonna put it to you. State of origin needs to return. I loved it until he became president and then you just panicked about your players getting hurt. The only way I think you could do it, if if you really want to do it, is almost turn it into like a gather round experience. Do it before the season starts once every three years and do it as a carnival in say Tasmania to to continue that flavour. Or do it in Perth so that you can actually do that, get another TV rights bonus there and the players are having practice matches anyway, so you're better off getting all the good players, having a good game of footy and and. And a run round at that stage as playing against bloke's who are fillings. Yeah look at that man. Look at it Lordy. Tell me it's one of the best experiences of my life. Ed. But I think I worry that a preseason game would be like AFLX if it was before the season started. So that that would be my concern. I loved it as much as anyone. So did you Jimmy. My point is you're playing a practice match anyway at normal or summer. Why don't you get all the good blokes down. I'd probably rather use that game to play with their teammates to find you population. Yeah. Look I just think it's past its time here as much as I I like it as much as anyone did As a as a kid growing up and watching these guys play in it and the the the games after the school. I used to like going out the nightclubs afterwards with the guys it was that's where we go. That's how we go with it. Don't.
