The AFL website released a series of State of Origin concept teams this morning, getting their staff to select line-ups for Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and the ‘Allies’.

But the fact that these teams are pointless and have absolutely zero significance whatsoever has seemingly gone over Collingwood fans’ heads, furious at the idea that their star captain Scott Pendlebury was left out of the Victorian side in favour of Port Adelaide’s Ollie Wines and Melbourne young gun Clayton Oliver.

Granted Pendlebury is a premiership player, five-time best and fairest winner, five time All Australian and a Norm Smith medallist who is rated as a top five prospect in this season’s Brownlow Medal predictor, but the fact that this team is hypothetical has been completely lost on most punters.

You can see the full teams line-ups here if you literally have nothing else to do today.

I think we can all agree that the real injustice to emerge from these concept teams is the clear oversight of Jake Spencer not being selected as ruckman for the Allies.
