Will carry on this year with the 2013 State of Origin Series - which is of course highlighted by the EurAsia v AAP Alliance match! I have named the series after c4v3m4n, who created the concept!
Representative Round (AFL Round 12 Adel, Carl, Coll, Ess, GC, GWS + Round 13)
Home Team | | Score | | Score | | Away Team | | Location |
|
AAP Alliance | | 0.0.0 | vs. | 0.0.0 | | Eurasia | | Melbourne Cricket Ground |
Victoria Metro | | 0.0.0 | vs. | 0.0.0 | | Western Australia | | Etihad Stadium |
South Australia | | 0.0.0 | vs. | 0.0.0 | | Victoria Country | | AAMI Stadium |
Internationals | | 0.0.0 | vs. | 0.0.0 | | NSW/ACT/TAS | | Bellerive |
Indigenous All-Stars | | 0.0.0 | vs. | 0.0.0 | | QLD/NT | | Darwin |
Based on results so far this year - i.e. the most points scored so far, the coaches are...
For EurAsia.....
RINGO! Who has re-invigorated the London Royals this year! He will get to choose the best of the best players from London, Berlin, Seoul, Moscow, Dubin, Tokyo, PNL, Beijing and New Delhi to try and avenge the 3 point loss to the AAP Alliance last year.
And for AAP Alliance we have... the reigning premier
MACA24!, who will be looking at choosing the best of the best from Mexico City, Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, Toronto, Cape Town, Cairo, New York, Pacific and Wellington.
The match will be held across half of Round 12, and all of Round 13 - while the 18 WXV teams have a bye.
In addition - we have!
WXV State of Origin!In addition to the EurAsia v AAP Alliance representative matches, State of Origin matches will be held giving each coach in the WorldXVs a chance to continue playing during the AFL's rounds 12 - 13.
This is how c4 have envisioned it will work:
1. There will be 8 representative teams: VIC Metro, VIC Country, SA, WA, NSW/ACT/TAS, QLD/NT, Indigenous All-Stars, Internationals.
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
4. Teams will be chosen in the following order: AAP, EUR then QLD/NT, NSW/ACT/TAS, ABOR, ROW, WA, SA, VICC and finally VICM. c4 felt, and I agree, that this will be the fairest as QLD/NT and NSW/ACT/TAS have very limited squad choices, whereas both Victorian teams have an abundance of players.
5. Squad lists will be made available by me soon, based on where the player was recruited from - otherwise it gets very tricky!
6. The Internationals 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.
Current WXV Rules will apply for all matches, except no home advantage will be given. Also, the out-of-position rule will be relaxed for some teams due to team numbers.
TeamsTwo coaches were assigned to each team using the Excal random generator
VIC Metro - Jukes & Boomz/kilbluff1985
VIC Country - Master Q/Toga & MajorLazer/NigeyS
South Australia - Hellopplz & pothead
Western Australia - Nails & Holzman
QLD/NT - Purple 77 & roo boys!
NSW/ACT/TAS - JBs-Hawks/KoopKicka & pyronerd/Sid
Indigenous All-Stars - CrowsFan & My Chumps
International - FisherSaints/specky92 & Jayman/tbagrocks

Honestly don't see how Eurasia stand a chance considering the top 3 teams are all from the AAP Aliance so will have the best of the best to pick from!
Disappointed I don't get to try and go back to back with the Aliance, but happy enough to work alongside MC to bring a victory to the Indigenous All-Stars :)

I reckon the top 5 teams are from AAP Alliance! But, it was similar last year, EurAsia only went down by 3
Just seems wrong for me and tbag to not be South Australia :o can we arrange a swap?
Looking forward to this Os, love your work.
Wow AAP Alliance have Mexico City, Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, Toronto, Cape Town, Cairo, New York, Pacific and Wellington.
Which is 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 7th, 9th, 10th, 14th and 17th
Love the work oz! I wonder if any of my Brewers are from NT/QLD ...
Paired up with a good coach too :)

Carn AAP, hopefully Maca can guide them to victory to back up CF's good work from last year.

But I'm also South Australian, so that argument that since you are from there that you should coach them is irrelevant in my opinion.

2 South Australians > 1. My argument is just that I want to coach them :P
Join us in SA? >:D
I'm still not really sure how this all works. Part of the Vic Country crew. Does that mean only Vic Country players from Cairo/Beijing get counted? ??? :-X

No you get to select players from any team in the comp as long as they are from Vic Country :)

talk to me in the trade window. We have Berger, Longer and Witts :)
Being new to this Ossie am I able to call on assistant to help me decide and pick the Eurasia team.
Think I will need it. Maybe HP or Holz.
Nigel and I have decided we are very happy with our Vic Country. :P
Brett Deledio & Dustin Martin. :-*

Assuming they don't get picked for the EurAsia team!
:o
They better not! :(
If we lose Lids and Dusty to international duties... :(
Seoul should have a few on international duties. Danger, Lids, Mcevoy, gibbs. With Duffield, Yarren, JJK chances of rep footy.

The possible honour :o. But as Ossie said, you can still use assistants to help out if you want 8). You have plenty to choose from though :P.
Yeah Toga, makes selections for the smaller State of Origin teams a bit tougher when it comes to selections, with the stars representing the bigger teams! Was quite tough last year with the Indigenous All-Stars but certainly quite fun to try different combinations of players. Some of those who wouldn't normally be selected have a chance to rep ;).
Ahh I see!
Sounds like a great concept, can't wait. :)

Yeah that's right --> but Maca or Ringo might make a last minute change. Up to you though!
Is AAP the only team that can select Vic Metro players sorry if dumb question bit confused about it all
Not dumb kb
The International and Indigenous guys get first crack also
Oz
Bugger there goes Brett Goodes probably
When Swallow doesn't make the cut you know it's an amazing team... carn AAP
I can't decide on D4. Heppell, Birchall or Waters? :/
Not Heppell!
So we can get him. >:D
Houli? Since round 3 (8 matches) he has averaged 100 exactly!
EURASIA PROVISIONAL TEAM
The following Initial squad of 22 has been selected for the Eurasian Team to Take on the AAP Alliance
Backs: M.Hibberd (BB), G.Ibbotson (NDT), B.Gibbs (SM), H. Shaw (MS)
Mids: R. Griffen (MS), K. Jack (TS), B. Deledio (SM), N. Fyfe (MS)
Ruck: Goldstein (DD)
Utilities: S. Mitchell (TS), P. Dangerfield (SM)
Forwards: N. Naitanui (MS), D. Martin (MS), M. Stokes (BB) , C. Rioli (PNL)
Emergencies - N. Vlaustin (NDT), JJ Kennedy (SM) , B. Stanton (LR), L. Franklin (BB) , H. Taylor (BT), B. McEvoy (SM) C. Dixon (MS).
All clubs have at least one representative in the 22. Moscow dominate with 6 nominations.
Feel we have the power to match the Alliance in most areas but just lacking a little forward power. O for buddy to be in form.
4. Teams will be chosen in the following order: AAP, EUR then QLD/NT, NSW/ACT/TAS, ABOR, ROW, WA, SA, VICC and finally VICM. c4 felt, and I agree, that this will be the fairest as QLD/NT and NSW/ACT/TAS have very limited squad choices, whereas both Victorian teams have an abundance of players.
Is this the confirmed order?
Yup
