'Cause they picked other players they thought were better than her? Don't ask me - I've got no idea!

Jess Nolan pulled out because she didnt have the transportation to get to 3/4 of the trainings! She told me herself that she didnt want to waste everyones time including her own not being able to make trainings! it wasnt fair on the others who were commited! we all knew she would make it if she could have gotten there!

Jess nolan would of made the team easy, have u not seen her in action in the u 21 comp she kicks arse she is definatley better than some of the girls that made the team.

no one will ever know whether or not jess nolan would have made the team. last year everyone expected emma pawlowski and ali trewartha to make it and they didnt so u never know who they will end up selecting... this is a dead topic, get over it

does anyone know who played well for the girls? i heard they came 4th, sounds like they really missed angela marino and lisa scaglia

No they missed emma piwanski because she snapped her achilles in the 2nd last game. She was going well and getting good numbers.They would have finished 3rd with her playing. No one was going to beat vic.

Peddle doesnt come close to Jess Nolan in skill or attitude.....

Less trashing players please.

unfortunate about her injury but the team was probably no worse off without emma powlowski.... her shooting percentage was very low and she had a lot of turnovers.

I don't see how any Southern girls could play in that team (other then Nelson) after Wednesday night's performance....

why is simone nelson even playing for southern tigers? how can she go from sturt to tigers? i think she's above that team and wont improve while she's there

anonymous its called 3 x bowleys at sturt. no room 4 simone

agreed that there is no room for her at sturt but she didnt have to go to southern.

Well then, anonymous, enlighten us all to where you think she should have gone, given your obvious dislike of Southern.

The SA girls beat WA on the friday of natoins by 15 points and pawlowski had 2 points before she was injured. The team also only lost by two points in the bronze medal game and were something like 12 from 21 from the foul line. They were very capable of winning but unfortuantely were just not the best team on the day

Jessica Nolan did not make the state team because she sat out half way through the first state trial with a headache. And i am unsure if she is better than the other girls who made the team ahead of her in the same position. Georgii Howlett, emma palowski, carly stark, Ali Trewartha...

the team that was picked was the best possible from those who tried out. top four finish is a great result regardless of what most think. these championships are tough, not like the usual crap on a friday night!

hahaha ok... i defiantely did not explain myself correctly at all. Forgive me annonymous. i most definately did not mean that Nolan didnt make the team because she sat out of that one training. All i have to say is if you want something bad enough you'll give everything you have.... classic example was that casey beaumont girl from mt barker, got up every sat and sun morning at 6am to catch a bus to training.

Half the time the team that is picked for under 20's is a joke.. Remembering that a lot of the players have year 12 or uni that they are focussing on. coaches favourites and reputations are already well established by then also. Yeah 4th is great but imagine what they could have done if they picked a decent team! Nolan is a Gun!

Yeah - that Casey's a terrific kid ;)
