I would say the bulk of the squad would stay the same .... maybe looking at some younger kids coming through the 18s programs at clubs any young kids with some serious potential in under 18s ??

I am assuming Puddifoot, Evans and Sullivan will be too old. Any others?
Anyway possibilities would be:

Lions:
Clausen

Mavericks:
Bungey

Eagles:
Gange
Wilson
Sutton
Hoban

Rockets:
Zorich
Burdon
Hambour
Kies (x2)

Flames:
Webber
Lampshire

Panthers:
Mackenzie
Lockyear

Tigers:
Gerlach
Wood
Lalic

Sabres:
Benson
Hackendorf

Bearcats:
Mencel
Craddock

Warriors:
Birmingham
Reeves
Mapunda

For the Lions would ben Elliot have a chance ??

Lockyear? Aaron? You are joking? Does he have a younger brother or something that I don't know about?

They should still be in SASI at U18s unless the slipped through the net.

Zane Reeves, Rory Craddock, Daniel Lalic, Luke Mapunda, Matt Atkins, Matt Gange would all be players not in the squad that would get a look in.

Hackendorf - If he was younger. he must be pushing 25 by now.

Lampshire - Not yet. Has a way to go to prove himself at a high level.

Hoban - not in the state.

Lampshire might be in a college soon .. 1 x Kies is playing Footy ..Hack's is too old ...

How old is Mackenzie?

Mckenzie just turned 18

Hambour is too old to still be in it!

What is the age limit cut of for the academy squad ....

If matt atkins is under the age limit i think he would be a great player for the squad the kid can shoot the lights and he is an awsome passer of the ball and can play some solid D go all round point guard

awesome passer? he averages 1.4 dimes a game!

Re mackenzie ... thanks Lloyd

ok be realistic......

Sturt - No one

North - Michael Zorich, Eric Burdon, Leif Burdon, Jordan Kies, Tom Rowe

Woodville - Zane Reeves

Southern - Dan Lalic, Brad Gerlach

Norwood - No one

West - Rory Craddock, Mencel, Anthony Spud, Dan Zackerjack

south - No one

Centrals - Chris Clausen

Forestville - gange, sutton,

Cosmo you are so lost...why dont we be realistic indeed!

North: leif = no, tom = no way

West: Rory = not deserved, Spud = no way, Dan = not yet

Apart from that I agree with you, except for the exclusion of Gary Birmingham, pump that man in the squad

Gary Birmigham should be a shoe in. No questions about him. Definately not Ben Elliot Truth, don't think he's that deservent.

Sir Spark, please justify your comments. Tom Rowe=NO Way?? Rory Craddock= Not deserved?? How so? Or should i assume your just another player hater psting on this forum......??? I know these guys well.. they seem pretty deserving to me

What about Ben Madgen? Eastern.

What about Mark Fuller? I think he's still young enough. I like his game and attitude

doug hudson for south

he looks awesome

would chris mason come back if he was offered a spot in the academy???
wilson (forest) should get a run and atkins(cent)

Mason is playing some great basketball down for the Pioneers and would be a good pick up for the Academy squad.
Im guessing Bronson Kies is the one playing footy. Is he playing any basketball?

Whoever said Doug Hudson, that better be a joke. and for the record.

Gange - No
Mapunda - No
Reeves - No
Mackenzie - No
Bungey - No
Lampshire - No
Mencel - No
Young Burdon - No
Lockyear - you better be fucken kidding me

Lalic - YES
Birmingham - YES
Young Kies - YES

mmmm,
well done anonymous
you tried hard, but yet again you failed miserably at being even close to correct or humerous
try again toolbag

Why should he try again richard? He seemed on the money to me. You gave us a list of No's with no justification whatsoever

he wasnt too far off the mark, Mckenzie, Mencel and Bungey would be that only ones i disagree with along with Lalic, havent seen him do anything as yet.

Whats the point of having the Academy anyway. To say it is a feeder group for the Sixers is bs. Smyth will always pick an AIS player over an Academy boy.Just ask the Academy group what they really thought about Brad Hill walking straight into the team last season. Its already on the cards that Joe Ingles will be next into the Sixers team, as he should be.
Jordon Dodman from Sturt 18s should be out training with the Sixers fairly soon so it doesnt leave much room for anyone else.

okay heres my input:

Spud is in
Reeves in
Mapunda in
Birmingham in
Burdon (both) in

Braithwaite has stepped up in ABL now Clarke is out - Give him a good hard look at teh end of teh season. An honest hardworker who isn't a showboat, he just wants to play.

Braithwaite is a quality player, and is a hard nut, he is worth a serious look.

Reeves could benefit greatly from Academy training, and is definately a canditate.

Spud is a definate question mark in my opinion. He is a good player, but is lacking in some vital areas. There are better guards to fill the spots.

Mapunda has proved himself, and should get a look in.

Older Burdon and older kies should be there, but I agree the younger 2 are not far off

I think Gange is a definate. Had a great year and is a regular starter now for Eagles.

Daniel Wilson is also a candidate. His form has been very consistant and is a very good defender. Has been first sub for the eagles all year, and had 10 assists against the sabres on saturday night, so you would think he should be ahead of Mark Bauer.

Mapunda, Burdon, Madgen, Braithwaite i agree should all be looked at, and i think Peter Hoban, if he comes back from Cairns will be ready for the Acadamy also.

Alot of players from woodville need a look in cos they are a young team and obviously doing well - 3rd on the ladder when at the start of the season they were predicted to finish last !

Also KB is the assistant Coach !

marcus ng deserves a look in,after hes back from injury.

Gange is a definite, best up and coming player i have seen.
