Something the field ballet group haven't managed to organise yet ... but probably too hard for them cause it's based on the state you played your first senior league game and apart from Victorian they'd be battling to scrap together enough people from any one other state wouldn't they?
I usually don't agree with T1 with his 'less than informed' comments about Aussie Rules, or aerial ballet as he calls it

.
However, I must agree with Origin though. Aussie Rules used to have interstate games in the 60' and 70's but when Origin started in 80's the AFL honchos tried it (State of Origin) a few times and the results weren't what they expected. No longer was Vic the champion state. Some champion AFL players have come from ALL the states of Oz, some even from the bottom half of NSW. No-one plays Rugby League in the Riverina, they all play Aussie Rules. All the school grounds and footy ovals have 4 posts at each end.
Having said that, it is hard to explain the passion footy fans find at Origin time.
Go Queensland.
Just found this on Youtube. It goes for a few minutes, so will consume a bit of data allowance.

It's the 1995 Origin biff just a few minutes after the game started. Some real hard men played footy back then.
