This was discussed between Heveren (sp?) and Dal Santo on SEN this morning and they seemed to think Hardwick v Simpson

Fair Call....

[Lightning McQueen]

I’m sure Carlton would be rapt with Docherty playing.

[Brodlach]

I’m sure Carlton would be rapt with Docherty playing.

Naughton and Tom Mitchell are no chances either

[Armchair expert]

Gil will make it aflx rules and play it at Hindmarsh stadium

[Senor Moto Gadili]

I know those nominated teams were put together hastily, but Stephen May in and no Jeremy McGovern?

McGovern had surgery Late November on A Heel/Foot

It's for a good cause but the 'Dream Team' concept is a load of garbage. Have state v state or not at all.

[mots02]

Completely underwhelmed by this.

SOO is dead.... let it rest.

It will never be the same and these manufactured all-star games just dont cut it for me.

[Armchair expert]

Oh goodie John Longmire coach, 10 players behind the ball at all times...because that is what everyone wants to see.

[Armchair expert]

I kicked 2 goals at half time Aus kick of a SOO game a long time ago

[woodublieve12]

No real surprise who's coaching the All Star. One of the best in the business

[Dutchy]

Its not a serious game, who really cares about the concept and how the game will be played, its a bit of fun to raise some good cash, focus on the outcome.

Probably ideal timing with people craving a bit of footy Im guessing the Vics will turn up in great numbers.

[whufc]

Ha, its not the rebranded VFL its a national competition i tell ya.

Spot on, only result that matters is the number of $$ raised and directed toward those in need.

[Wedgie]

Would prefer it as Vic v WA.
SA's side looks quite embarrassing.
All stars v Vic next best thing but not ideal.
Great cause though, so hopefully a good crowd.
