IN 2017 the AFLW hosted a one-off State of Origin game: Victoria against the Allies, made up of the competition's inaugural stars. Victoria took the win, led by Daisy Pearce and coached by Debbie Lee.
So, in a hypothetical world where AFLW State of Origin games still existed, what does your state's team look like? We've already revealed Queensland and the Allies, and today, we take a look at South Australia and Western Australia.
Check back next week to see who made the cut for the Big V (Country and Metro editions).
Western Australia
B: Janelle Cuthbertson (Frem), Emma O'Driscoll (Frem)
HB: Laura Pugh (Frem), Ruby Schleicher (Coll), Ange Stannett (Frem)
C: Steph Cain (Ess), Emma Swanson (WC), Ebony Antonio (Frem)
HF: Gemma Houghton (PA), Chelsea Randall (Adel), Gabby O'Sullivan (Frem)
F: Courtney Hodder (Bris), Sabrina Frederick (Coll)
Foll: Emma King (NM), Kiara Bowers (Frem), Hayley Miller (Frem)
I/C: Mim Strom (Frem), Dana Hooker (WC), Mikayla Bowen (Geel), Bella Lewis (WC), Ella Roberts (WC)
Depth: Charlie Thomas (WC), Akec Makur Chuot (Haw), Belinda Smith (WC), Abbey Dowrick (PA), Evie Gooch (WC), Kellie Gibson (WC), Sophie McDonald (WC), Roxy Roux (Frem), Philipa Seth (Frem), Sarah Lakay (WC)
Good luck stopping that West Australian forward line.
Courtney Hodder and Chelsea Randall may be well-established stars in different states, but both have represented WA in under-18s and senior footy (pre-AFLW) respectively.
Dashing Collingwood defender Ruby Schleicher moved across the country at the start of the AFLW competition as an 18-year-old, with only 27 spots on offer at Fremantle at the time.
FROM 2017 TO NOW Where are your club’s inaugural players?
Both Emma King and Sabrina Frederick were West Australians who were tempted to the east coast ahead of 2017, signed as marquee players for their now-former clubs Collingwood and Brisbane.
Unsurprisingly, the more experienced Fremantle dominate the 21, but if this team was picked again in five years time, it's likely the young talent of Ella Roberts, Bella Lewis and Charlie Thomas would have well and truly forced themselves into the on-field 16.
South Australia
B: Sarah Allan (Adel), Chelsea Biddell (Adel)
HB: Indy Tahau (PA), Alex Ballard (PA), Hannah Munyard (Adel)
C: Eloise Jones (Adel), Hannah Ewings (PA), Nikki Gore (Frem)
HF: Maddi Newman (Adel), Kate Shierlaw (StK), Chloe Scheer (Geel)
F: Ash Woodland (Adel), Erin Phillips (PA)
Foll: Caitlin Gould (Adel), Anne Hatchard (Adel), Ebony Marinoff (Adel)
I/C: Montana McKinnon (Adel), Bella Smith (Sydney), Teah Charlton (Adel), Rachelle Martin (Adel), Lisa Whiteley (Adel)
Depth: Jess Sedunary (WC), Tait Mackrill (GWS), Tahlia Meyer (GC), Abbie Ballard (Adel), Justine Mules (PA), Ebony O'Dea (PA), Hannah Button (Adel), Amber Ward (Adel), Zoe Prowse (Adel), Jess Allan (GWS)
South Australia has been surprisingly good at retaining its top talent, despite having had only one team (Adelaide) in the state for six of the seven AFLW seasons.
St Kilda key forward Kate Shierlaw is one of the biggest names to (theoretically) return home, having grown up in the state, while Chloe Scheer has now spent two seasons at Geelong.
While the much more experienced Adelaide players feature much more heavily, Port Adelaide's developing defender in Indy Tahau and Alex Ballard have earned their spots in the first 16.
The all-star Adelaide midfield trio of Caitlin Gould, Anne Hatchard and Ebony Marinoff were nearly first picked, with NAB AFLW Rising Star winner Hannah Ewings taking her position in the centre.
The queen of South Australian footy, Erin Phillips, rightfully takes her place at full-forward, while Adelaide skipper Chelsea Randall has been selected in the West Australian team.
