AFL’s finest during representative round this weekend
Representative round preview
Selection means players have been recognised as the very best that ‘Footy in Paradise’ has to offer and is always a proud moment for them, their families and their clubs.
After each team in both comps have played each other at least once, this week is about putting those hostilities aside (momentarily) to prepare for what is a showcase event on the footy calendar.
To highlight the parity that we have seen so far in both comps this year, all clubs are very well represented in both games. The Tigers are a standout with a whopping 29 players selected, with the Lions a close second seeing 22 of their players rewarded for their early season form.
Both games are at Cazalys, with the women getting things underway at 6.15pm, while the men get to enjoy a rare, primetime time slot when their first bounce happens at 7.50pm on what is an unmissable evening of watching the cream of the crop go at it.
Punters can expect eight quarters of absolute end-to-end footy (and a number of coast-to-coast goals).
To add to the stakes, the ISP players will be hellbent on a clean sweep of results two years in a row.
For the All-Stars players, none of them have got to this point without having an insane competitive streak that we get to see week in, week out.
There is no way they will be mailing in a result, exhibition game or not.
