Without insulting anyone because I don't want this thread to get locked. Predictions on the team people!
Remember, this thread won't get locked if we don't trash any of the players!
Andrew Braham
Claybran McMath
Harri Harvey
James Boonstoppel
Jarryd Fildes
'Chief' Sam Whittleson
Michael Florence
Sam Hemmings
Ben Howell
Matt Dubrich
They would be my 10, have i missed anyone. This team seems to have a nice mix and i think could be successful.
It is true there are some good players but some others would rate a mention, a couple of guys from West seem to have been missed. There is a pool of talent but given the results of the last few State team reps, maybe it is time for a bit of new or untried blood instead of the same old guys based on what they did along time ago. We have nothing to loose and only our pride to regain.

Nick Haslam - relativly unknown player (never in SASI), but loves stroking it from range, and can elevate!
Kurtis Phillips added into the squad listed above.

I was about to ask the question about Sam Hemmings as I have not seen him around the traps and he hasn't been in the Tigers Senior Mens squad.
Can some shed some light? Has he given basketball away? or has he moved interstate as stated earlier in this post?
That 10 has 4 forestville players..should they all be there?
I know who Chief is and Braham is tall but who are the other bigs?
dubrich and claybrin are the other bigs, and they're even bigger
What's happened to big McGinty? Is he playing for Norwood anymore? Would have expected his name in the Australia Camp...

Hemmings living intersate for work and hasn't palyed ball so he wont be playing
Mich wont be in the running he just had major chest surgery wont be playing for a few months yet
west should have a least two boys playing watch them against north and sam did nothing the west big boy killed him.
chief is woeful for a big guy...lacks soft touch, is slow and soft!!!

155807,
Is he just another outstanding junior with loads of potential at Norwood to gradually fall by the wayside?
He could make any ABL side and with his size and strength I am sure they would get him back on track.
Josh Hubbard has just come back form knee but is improving with every game, plays well in side,should be just cheery for u20 Nats.

I don't know anything about the Norwood production line, I was just wondering what happened to him? Does he play anymore? He seemed a shoe-in for me to be in the Top 3 or 4 in the league in the U18 games he played last year against my son.

There will be around 4 Panther boys who should be in the running, Dubrich, Reid, Harding and Hirst.
what the?

Harding and Hirst. Bah ha ha ha.
Panther,
Good to see you still have a sence of humour.
by the way, its *sense* of humour, and i guess panther would no more about those boys than any of you because he actually coaches them. Id say Harding and Dubrich, maybe Reid.

Ummm, if you are have a go about spelling, at least know when to use no/know...
You goose!

Fallen by the wayside? Hardly.
By all ******** he did well at junior camp recently (as did McMath), and was definitely, as stated above, one of the top 3 or 4 in the league last season.
With his size and strength, he has potential to go far beyond just making an ABL side.
The real question is - will yet another promising junior be lost to football. He is an extremely promising footballer as well.
Well corrupt grammar police, I thank you profoundly for correcting my silly mistake, however I have just noticed what you actually wrote,
"Ummm, if you are have a go about spelling"
That should be changed to:
"Ummm, if you are *having* a go about spelling"
Sorry I had to point that out but I had to correct the grammar police. ;)
re-correction ... again?

No.
'have a go' is the correct past tense.
'having a go' is current tense (which would be incorrect.
Gee this got pety quickly!

"Ummm, if you are have a go about spelling" - note the "are" in there. Also, try "petty".

Isaac, the full stop goes inside the quotation marks.
Also, try "petty."
Ironic?

Skitt's Law:
"Spelling or grammar flames always contain spelling or grammar errors."
In British English, when a quotation mark appears at the end of a sentence the full stop is usually placed after it. The matter is partly determined by the length of the enclosed material: the longer it is, more acceptable it is that the full stop should come first.
In American English the full stop normally comes before the quotation mark.

I thought McGinty plays down south for Mt. Gambier in the SEABL?
What happens down there with junior teams, do they have a district level comp set up? Or just development training.

while off the real topic, how often does a poster ask a question and then being a new sentence improperly? or they don't begin sentences with capital letters? Because it doesn't really matter? or because they can't be stuffed?

I thought this was a topic on U20 predictions not on grammar and spelling.
My 2 cents Kurtis and Josh from West should be given serious consideration for selection.
My concern is that the same group that has been selected time and time again for whatever reason will continue to underachieve as our state representatives.
Sureley the fact that the game changes in style and tempo from age group to age group would imply that certainly some of the fringe players at least should be rotated out of selection to blood new players that adapt better to the age group.

By that law the first last that was mentioned (post #155730) only 2 players from that list should make the team
my concern is that justin will pick is north players before any one else
