Quote ="dally messenger"what is the passion like for an AFL origin game?
you know origin, the event that gets TV ratings of 10 million, crowds over 150,000 and generates millions for australias number 1 footy code.
indeed a brisbane lions player (AFL) said he wished their sport had something that united queensland like the origin did.
'"
Every game just about is like an origin game, if you have Collingwood v say Carlton at the MCG with 80,000 for a club match, who needs origin??
They used to have Origin, it was once quiet big i believe, butr like i said, the rivalries amongst the bigger clubs equals what Origin has to offer, the crowds are ridiculously big & passionate
