SEN’s 2022 Victorian State of Origin team

Every year when the NRL’s popular version of State of Origin rolls around, many with an interest in AFL fondly recall a bygone era.

State of Origin in Aussie Rules was a loved concept but one we haven’t seen regularly since the late 1990s.

With Origin between the NSW Blues and Queensland Maroons set for June 8, we’ve come to the party for AFL fans by compiling four state teams.

These sides are based on a mix of current and previous form and with the idea that the mock match is to be played in the next week or so, ruling out those who are injured.

First up is the Victoria state side.

The Vic side has been chosen by Chairman of Selectors and Melbourne great Garry Lyon, who represented the ‘Big V’ on 10 occasions.

His sounding board in the selection process was Essendon champion and fellow Victoria regular Tim Watson.

See the Victoria team below:

The other state sides will be selected in the coming days.

The Western Australian team is to be selected by SEN WA’s Scott Cummings and Tim Gossage.

The South Australian team is to be selected by SEN SA’s Kane Cornes and Andrew Hayes.

The Allies team, of NSW, Queensland, Northern Territory, Tasmanian and International players, will be selected by SEN Tassie’s Jack Riewoldt and David Lithgow.
