aint the worldsd every two years now? So it's 2007 then 2009

Yep meaning 18's 2007 and 16's 2009, as it says

where did you get your info?

any tips?

Friend in the know told me. He was involved at 16's. I asked him who he thought might make the boys, said his top 20 were -

Dellavedova, Byrne, McInerney & Pickett from Vic Country

Craig, Ellis & Kalia from WA Metro

Arnott, Orr & Jacobsen from Vic Metro

Radcliffe & Mooney from Tasmania

Teys, Salechich & Page from Qld Sth

Cinelli, Vrlijic & Harris-Tunks from NSW Metro

Mullan & Simpson from NSW Country

whos in??

All I know so far is:

U/16sW - 1 ACT & 1 SAC

U/18sW - 1 NSWC

is that a rhetorical question?

Have a look!

BA Website

It seems strange that the BA website has yet to publish the list but the ACT b/ball website already has an article on its players selected to the camp.

ACT are just extremely excited about their players.
As this only affects the individual junior why is it essential that you are informed. Is it so you can nit pick the selection.

"As this only affects the individual junior why is it essential that you are informed. Is it so you can nit pick the selection."

Who said anything about my right to be informed, you flickwit? I merely wondered why BA hadn't released a full list while a 'state' had preceded that announcement with a piece on their players.

Yes I am curious, but so what?

oh my god!!! how, why, did they leave her out!!

All Australian camp for U/18's now encompasses the development of Natioanl Junior Squads as the teams are now selected every 2 years rather than the previous 4.

Those players selected are done so not just on their performancess at Nationals but also on their potential to play in Junior World Championship Teams. As well as future ability to play in National Senior teams.

Players who show a lack of what selectors deem to be proper requirements will not be selected. Hence the 23 names are those players earmarked for the next Junior Worlds groups.

If players have done the wrong thing and not endeered themselves due to their own actions then they have only themselves to blame.

Congratulation to those players who have been selected. Hopefully those who have not will use it as fuel to better their own performance to prove the selectors wrong.

So annonymous, are you suggesting that the SA girl that missed out has only herself to blame due to her own actions? And if you answer yes to that question....what exactly are those things that she has done because I would love to know.

So would many other people.Shame, shame, shame!!

U16 boys group looks good but there are some very good players who missed out!!

Like who?

So does anybody have any reason for why a clear stand out player at the U18 nationals by the name of leah did not get into the all austrlian squad whats going on there....and why is Hayley Munro and Kate Malpass missing also????

Have the selectors lost there mind?

Players that could have made U16 boys were -

Picket - VicC
Byrne - VicC
Vrujic - NSWM
Cinelli - NSWM
Salechich - QldS
Simpson - NSWC
Sheppard - NT
Craig - WAM
Kalia - WAM
Mooney - Tas
McGinty - SAC

so leah missed out...what the!?! i would have thought someone of leah's calibre would have been picked way before say...lauren. Whats everyones thought on the squads picked?

yes leah missed out and that's incredible to believe or understand but lauren and the rest of the girls are good enough to be there so don't bag them!! As i'm sure leah wouldn't.

After the championship Phil Brown had he should have been a lock, weird he didnt make it.

Pass the ball maybe!!!??

Don't abuse people in your Grand Final and you may be picked. Leah's career at a National level is finished.

Come on #49498 back up your statement. What do you mean by that - who did she abuse? Have you got a video or something? anything?
Tell us what you know, or what you heard, so maybe someone else can refute your story or stick up for the kid. Put up or shut up - you know the deal - don't say things you aren't prepared to support and then hide behind anonymity - you hero.

after Leah's year at the 'Tute she may have decided she doesn't want to pursure her basketball at a national level. It wouldn't be the first time basketball has lost a promising junior women player to that distraction called "life".

After Leah's year at the 'Tute...bla..bla...bla...maybe this, maybe that, bla...bla...bla....
She was one of the best at the last nationals - that's a fact and not a maybe. (Check the stats and write ups)
She did leave the 'Tute - for reasons only she fully knows. Maybe one day she'll have an opportunity or a desire to share those reasons with the rest of us.
She still loves her game - that's pretty obvious to anyone who gets to see her play.
And if her career at a national level is finished (& how stupid and baseless a statement is that - by the way?) then it would be a real pity for every other player at that level, every other player aspiring to reach that level, and every spectator watching the game at that level to have missed out on her presence in the game. Because like her or hate her, u can't deny that the girl has presence.
Good luck to everyone who made the selector's lists. :) And hopefully the rest of us haven't seen the last of the other kids who didn't make it this time.

'Don't abuse people in your Grand Final and you may be picked. Leah's career at a National level is finished'

correct me if im wrong but that doesnt sound like it was directed at browny

Leah is a lovely young lady with a heart and brains and a lot of support around her. She will be successful with her life, whatever she decides to do.
