An original idea started by our European counterparts!
At some point in the year - depending on what the fantasy roster looks like, we should have a 'state-of-origin' exhibition match.
EurAsia: Tokyo, Seoul, Beijing, New Delhi, Berlin, London, Dublin, PNL and Moscow
AAP (Africas, Americas and the Pacific) Alliance: Cairo, Cape Town, Mexico City, New York, Toronto, Sao Paulo, Buenos Aries, Wellington and Pacific Islands
Open to ideas on how it should work :) I'm thinking that at the half-way point in the season, the highest EurAsia and the highest AAP coach on the ladder, get the opportunity to pick a team not just from their squad, but from the 9 squads in there conference?
Hmmm?
Like that idea Ossie... sounds sick :)
Sounds pretty interesting ossie. I would be up for that :)
cool idea!
But i think the other coaches in the teams should have more input, instead of one coach deciding

Well yeah, but 16 coaches wouldn't give a crap then :-\ ;)
I had an idea in my head earlier that in the bye rounds they play. Thoughts, do its a bit harder
Just noticed ossie you forgot to put London Royals in the list of teams up there.
Another thought you could do is split it in to 4 regions of...
Asia
Tokyo Samurai
Beijing Bear
Seoul Magpies
New Delhi Tigers
Europe
Berlin Brewers
Dublin Destroyers
PNL Reindeers
Moscow Spetsnaz
London Royals
Americas
Mexico City Suns
New York Eagles
Toronto Wolves
Sao Paulo Pumas
Buenos Aires Armadillos
Africa and the Pacifics
Cairo Sands
Cape Town Cobras
Wellington Warriors
Pacific Islanders
Then during the 3 bye rounds of 11, 12 and 13 you can play a round robin tournament where each team plays the other teams once each. And then getting a winner from that. Thoughts?

I'm not sure which I prefer in respect to two or four teams but a good lively "state of origin" comp could be fun. :D
Also, on the coaching idea, instead of having the top placed coaches build a team, how about we all vote for a coach, like a people's choice award?
I think everyone should have an input. I wouldnt really care about a team that I didnt help pick :/
I think everyone chooses there best player then change it to make a team, add more
I think that the idea could work but be kinda tweaked.
The top coaches from each team become team captain who end up with final say over which players make it. Their choice of how to pick the players, could choose as a team or just choose individually.
Think that could work better.
The top coach gets to pick 2-3 other coaches to help with team settings maybe. :-\
Out of all the ideas i like CF's the best, with the four regions.

Creating a decent team with all the byes would be challenging with 4-5 teams. I'd be leaning more towards just splitting into two, or even splitting into 3 teams of 6. :)
IM not a fan of the top coach thing i think in the worlds it would be a good idea to split into 4 regions and than voting is viable. For my euro tournament im having it in 2 and 7 teams each and we need to fill a team of 22 each round and im thinking each team can nominate a maximum of 4 haven't decided yet ( i was thinking you must nominate at least 1 forward mid and back).
I think there should be some sought of rule that puts the obvious picks in example the top 4 averaging backs and forwards and 3 mids that get put through and the top averaging ruck. Than people vote on the remaining 3 backs, 3 mids, 1 ruck and 3 forwards.
Still tweaking it.
If it were me i would do the 4 teams and have each team nominate 6 players in the 5 euro and Americas so only 8 players don't make it. and 7 players in the 4 team divisions so 6 don't make it.
To make it fun you want all teams to be represented.
Hoping to do this in our "bye" round across rounds 12 and 13.
Of course, the two highest ranked coaches (on total points scored) will get to choose whoever they want (those are currently CrowsFan... and well, me! (having just realised that now)).
Going with the split as listed, if the teams were made up on current averages, it would be:
EurAsia:
D: B Deledio (Seoul), H Shaw (Moscow), S Thompson (Dublin), M Suckling (Tokyo)
M: B Stanton (London), S Selwood (Tokyo), R Griffen (Seoul), T Rockliff (New Delhi)
R: N Naitanui (Moscow)
F: S Sidebottom (Beijing), L Franklin (Berlin), P Dangerfield (Seoul), K Tippett (Tokyo)
I: C Ward (Dublin), L Shuey (Tokyo)
AAP Alliance
D: B Goddard (Mexico City), A Rance (Wellington), H Scotland (Buenos Aires), G Birchall (New York)
M: G Ablett (Sao Paulo), JP Kennedy (Cape Town), S Thompson (Wellington), S Pendlebury (Toronto)
R: A Sandilands (Mexico City)
F: A Goodes (Mexico City), J Lewis (Mexico City), S Crameri (Buenos Airs), J Roughead (Sao Paulo)
I: J Watson (Cape Town), J Selwood (Cape Town)
The midfield for the AAP Alliance is scary, while the EurAsia team have a big advantage in the forward line.
C-C-C-CRAMMERS!!!!!
Should we look to implement a rule whereby you have to have at least one player from each team from your region? Otherwise for teams like myself, the game seems pointless. No offence.

Not a huge fan of that sorry c4 :( Think that representative matches should be the best of the best, and a reward for good seasons. If players/coaches haven't reached that level, they can strive for it next year.
Maybe we should have friendlies during the week between teams? But players selected in the Representative matches can't play!

If AAP Have only Goodes missing and Sandi plays they SHOULD win.
They will win with me in charge no matter what the squad I pick :P
Haha anyway I seriously reckon Mexico will have scored more points than me by then so maca will be in charge ;)
A thought has just occurred to me in order to give more coaches a chance to be involved.
Alongside the EurAsia v AAP Alliance match, why don't we hold our own version of State of Origin?
Teams would include:
- VIC (split into Metro and Country due to the large numbers)
- SA
- WA
- NSW/ACT/TAS
- QLD/NT
- Aboriginal
- International (any player with international heritage)
Now, here's my take on what the teams could look like:
VIC MetroDEF: Heath Shaw, Heath Scotland, Dustin Fletcher, Bachar Houli

FWD: David Zaharakis, Luke Power, Tom Hawkins, Travis Cloke
RUC: Ivan Maric

8 teams, 16 coaches (2 per team, chosen at random).
The fixtures would also be random but I think that I would seperate them into two pools of (VICM, VICC, SA, WA) and (NSW/ACT/TAS, QLD/NT, ABOR, INT) just to make it more interesting.
Thoughts? I reckon this, alongside the EUR v AAP match is the best way to go instead of holding friendlies as it involves everyone and it works!
The only problem I can foresee is the obvious problems with the Aboriginal and International team selections. Like for example, Harley Bennell could be selected to Western Australia or the Aborginal team and similarly for Brett Deledio who could be picked for the International team or Vic Country. In order to correct this, I'm thinking we would let the Aboriginal team pick first, then the International team, then the rest. Fair?
Also, obviously the EUR and AAP teams would pick first then these teams.
Wouldn't Nick Riewoldt be in the tassie team since that's where he was born?

c4, you deserve a cheer from everyone involved in WXV for coming up with this, great idea. :)
The WA team got really weakened from the inclusion of the aboriginal team as alot of the squad is made up of WA players.
QLD/NT is probably the weakest, due to the fact that they only have 4 playing midfielders :-\
But what are ppl's thoughts? Yay, nay?
really admire the effort c4!
Well if it was the AAP alliance thing, it would only concern 2 coaches and the rest couldn't care less to be honest, so i would MUCH prefer c4's way.

C4 in regards to the AAP vs EurAsia match do they pick players first and then the states pick players that are remaining and can't pick players taken by either AAP or EurAsia?

Correct CF. The order in which the teams would be picked would be: AAP, EUR, QLD/NT, NSW/TAS/ACT, ABOR, INT, WA, SA, VICC, VICM. I think that would be the fairest.

I'd be very surprised if teams can't field a XV. However, I was thinking that for this, we would relax the laws on players playing out of position. But ONLY if don't have enough players for that position.
For example: QLD/NT might not have 4 playing midfielders, so they would be able to select any other player to play in the midfield without consequence.
But on the other hand, Vic Metro couldn't have Jobe Watson play down back as they have plenty of midfielders to choose from.
In the coming week, I'll try to organise lists of players by state, but for those players where I can't find where they were born, I'll just use the state from which they were drafted from. Fair enough?

NRL use the state from which they were drafted from, whereas AFL use they state in which they were born. So, obviously we'll use the AFL rules.

Announcement of Head Coaches for EurAsia v AAP Alliance
Undefeated for the year, and the top point scorer, Sao Paula coach CROWSFAN has been named Coach.
More controversely named as the EurAsia coach, as his team sits outside the eight, is Seoul coach OSSIE85. The ladder is dominated by AAP Alliance coach, and Seoul has scored 75 more points than the next best total points scored (Beijing).
Each coach will name a squad of 20 prior. The 5 remaining players will be eligible to play in other representative matches.
The Representative rounds will be held over Rounds 12 and 13.
C4, if you wouldn't mind, will let you organise the others!

I call rigged. jk :P
I'll start working on the other representative matches today and tomorrow.
Firstly, is everyone happy with the following:
1. There will be 8 representative teams: VIC Metro, VIC Country, SA, WA, NSW/ACT/TAS, QLD/NT, Aboriginal All-Stars, Rest of the World.
2. There will be two coaches for each team, meaning that everyone gets a chance to be involved in the representative matches.
3. Coaches will be aligned with teams at complete random (using random.org)
4. Teams will be placed in two pools (VICM, VICC, SA, ROW in pool 1, and WA, NSW/ACT/TAS, QLD/NT, Aboriginal in pool 2) and the matches will be chosen at random.
5. Teams will be chosen in the following order: AAP, EURO then QLD/NT, NSW/ACT/TAS, ABOR, INT, WA, SA, VICC and finally VICM. I feel this will be the fairest as QLD/NT and NSW/ACT/TAS have very limited squad choices.
6. I will develop squad lists, based on a where the player was born. However, if I cannot find where he was born, then it will be based on the state where he was drafted from.
7. The Rest of the World team will be made up of players that were born in a country outside Australia OR had at least one of their parents born outside Australia.
Think that covers all points. :D

By the way I've named Waters in the team because even though he is suspended for round 12 I assume his score from round 13 will count?

Yes :) Should clarify that somewhere....
Change in Squad: I'm releasing Matt Kreuzer, who hasn't been training nearly as well as I would have liked. Replacing him is a risk - which shows the lack of ruck options across EurAsia - Shane Mumford from Dublin.
Initial WXV Team, again subject to change...
