Selecting AFL Origin teams for South Australia and the Allies

After AFL Origin's return between Victoria and Western Australia proved to be an immense success on Saturday, there is a sense of feeling that South Australia and the Allies have missed out on the fun.

So, could we see SA or the Allies return soon for an Origin game?

We go through what we believe their respective teams would look like if they were to have a squad play in a potential Origin match.

South Australia

FB: Charlie Ballard, Brennan Cox, Max Michalanney
HB: Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera, Callum Wilkie, Connor Rozee
C: Will Day, Lachie Neale, Jase Burgoyne
HF: Will Hayward, Riley Thilthorpe, Jason Horne-Francis
FF: Beau McCreery, Darcy Fogarty, Izak Rankine
FO: Brodie Grundy, Jordan Dawson, George Hewett
I/C: John Noble, Tom Powell, Mattaes Phillipou, Tyson Stengle, Rory Laird

The squad would be headlined by stars all over the field, including two-time Brownlow Medallist Lachie Neale.

To pair along with him, they have Crows captain Jordan Dawson, Port captain Connor Rozee and rising star Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera running around the field, while Brodie Grundy is hitting it down their throat.

Their goal-kicking power does not disappoint with the Crows' power duo of Riley Thilthorpe and Darcy Fogarty. Horne-Francis and Izak Rankine are also two guns that can break open the game with their unreal talent.

Their backline would also hold up against most, with All-Australian Callum Wilkie leading the way. Gold Coast and Crows young guns Charlie Ballard and Max Michalanney can also hold up well defensively.

The rest of the squad certainly doesn't disappoint either, with some guns all over the field. Will Day, Tyson Stengle, Rory Laird, John Noble, and George Hewett are all players who can impact the game in a huge way.

Allies 

FB: Nick Blakey, Jack Buckley, Dayne Zorko
HB: Callum Mills, Harris Andrews, Jaspa Fletcher
C: Colby McKercher, Jacob Hopper, Errol Gulden
HF: Isaac Heeney, Patrick Voss, Zac Bailey
FF: Lachlan Schultz, Taylor Walker, Ben Long
FO: Jarrod Witts, Will Ashcroft, Tom Green
I/C: Keidean Coleman, Alex Pearce, Jack Payne, Daniel Rioli, Matthew Kennedy

The Allies squad isn't as deep as the South Australian squad, but it is still star-studded with many players.

Headlining this squad is two-time Norm Smith medallist Will Ashcroft. Their midfield is their deepest position with Giants star Tom Green in the guts. Then Sydney star Errol Gulden is running along the wing with young gun Colby McKercher.

We can't forget about Sydney star Isaac Heeney, lined up in the forward line, as he could be their most damaging player. Zac Bailey is playing alongside him in a similar role.

To kick the goals, they have veteran Taylor Walker in full forward with the electric Patrick Voss lined up at half forward. Goal Sneaks Lachie Schultz and Ben Long round out the forward line.

Their defence could rank among the best, with premiership player and All-Australian Harris Andrews holding down the fort. Fellow teammates Jaspa Fletcher and Dayne Zorko add important zip. While Jack Buckley, Callum Mills and Nick Blakey add to the defence.

Jarrod Witts is a great ruckman for them, while they have important depth on the interchange with Alex Pearce, Dan Rioli and more.
