If we were doing it now, and I know we did it in the pre-season, if we were doing it now, there's a player playing for the Sydney Swans who pre-season I don't think anyone would have thought of.

And certainly his name never got brought up while we were talking about state footy.

But Justin McInerney, if the state squad was named right now, he's in it.

Isn't he?

Yep.

100% he is.

Isn't that a fantastic performance?

And there's a few others.

You know, Josh Tracy would be in the squad.

Nick Watson, there you go, the wizard who was discussed.

Yeah, that's right, but he didn't get in.

Yeah, and he'd be there.

Petrarca, who didn't play, but he's formed.

Finn Callaghan, who I tried.

Clayton Oliver's come back.

Give us your nominations for the squad.

I'm not saying they're in the team, but if we're putting a squad together, which is what used to happen back in the day after about round six or seven,

The state squads would be announced and they'd be played in another three or four weeks' time.

The McInerney story is exactly the one that I love about the whole thing.

Here he is dominating footy and he's gone from being, you know, fringe, not fringy, but outside of Heaney and Warner and Gould and all those jets to now being slap bang in the middle and would probably get a Victorian state of origin jumper right now.
