Amazing array of talent on show tomorrow night!

Looks as tho the coaches have given us the matchup we were after with Richo and Goodes on the wing.

However Peter Burhoyne in the guts when he plays at half back surprises me, along with Cooney on a back flank after he kicked 5 on the ball and up forward last week seems a pretty simple straight swap.

Come on the Dream Team knock off the Vics but with the talent how can you pick a winner, its purely guessing.

I am quite surprised that Enright is on the emergency list, he should be playing and i don't think Motlop is good enough to play..............

There's no way Motlop should even get a look in. And why would you start Corey on the bench when he's been the leading possession getter for the Cats. Show's what a ******* joke this all-star crap is. It should be Vic verse the BIG SA!

i think i might be in the minority by half looking forward to watching this match. Altho i dont think they should advertise it as a rivalry type game (as quite clearly there is none) but more like all star game such as they have in basketball where the players are out there basically just showing off their skills. Blokes trying to take hangers all match, bananna's from the boundary etc.

I'm with you actually - I reckon it's going to be a great spectacle and seeing those 2 line-ups makes me excited to see it.

The players seemed revved up for it and how often do we get to see all the best players on the field at once = never. All-star games work very well around the world.

To me, some people like Cornsey have got themselves so hung up on the concept that they have hung the accused before the trial.

It might turn out to be a fizzer but I'm prepared to keep an open mind and judge it as I see, not as I think it's going to be.

Roughead's got to be a bit unlucky, worth a spot on the bench.

Roughead and Sewell should both be in the Vic side but i'm glad they're not. Already risking Buddy, Mitchell, Croad and Brown.

I'll watch this game in anticipation that it'll be a good one and to see some of the best play the best, but it's a load of Vic wank whatever way you look at it.
Can someone please answer this... all the clubs mentioned on the "Dream Team's" jumper are they from all of Oz or just every state barr Vic, cause if it's including Vic then it just smacks of even more bull****. Assuming so then what exactly does the AFL expect the players to be playing for apart from pride and the AFL wouldn't dare do anything to the sacred Big V would they. I'm getting pissed off at all of this.

4 WWT Eagles players in the dream team as well as 4 PA Magpies. Not a bad effort from these clubs producing quality players!

How did Brad Johnson miss out? I'd have him in before Murphy, Shaw and almost all of the bench.

Brad Johnson's form hasn't been all that great this season. He played well for a half against the Crows and had a good one against Sydney but he's not a hundred percent either so perhaps this is the reason for his below par output. At his best Johnson should be in there but at the moment he is not at his best.

Cant wait for this game, as a Geelong supporter its nice to look forward to a 2nd game besides the Grand Final.
Motlop's a no brainer, great player, can do it all, this sort of game will suit him to a tee too.

Asked the daughter who she's barracking for and despite being a Crows fan she's barracking for Victoria.
She even became more passionate about them when she found out Chokeo was coaching the All stars.
Poor son is in a dillema as Im messing with his mind, he wants to barrack for both sides as he loves Geelong and Victoria have more Geelong players than the Allstars but his favourite player is Cameron Mooney who is CHF for the Allstars!

I can't wait for this game, brilliant concept, well done to the AFL! :D
