The same player came off the bench again for First Grade yesterday.Originally Posted by big jim
This young fella is a quality player with a fantastic attitude who has deserved his chance in First Grade so next time you want to take pot shots at a 15 year old player, take a deep breath and realize how much of wanker you sound.
Seen three 15yo's come on at once for the buds yesterday, Sean Mathews, haha, all jokes aside, lovely bloke, not sure how much longer the legs would last. Surprising substitution I thought, he came on at 2-0 down I think, and come on to play at the back, I reckon he could still cause some damage up front in a short stint.
Why don't try and guess a few, yeah lets treat it like a guessing competition.
NNSW select side has been announced.
Benn Kelly, Ayden Brice, Jon Griffiths, Josh Evans, Luke Remington, Keanu Moore, Michael Kantarovski, Rhys Cooper, James Virgili, Daniel McBreen, Keigo Moriyasu.
Bench: Kyle Hodges, Simon Mooney, Matt Comerford, Daniel Yaxley, Ben Hay, Reece Pettit, Lachlan Pasquale, Brody Taylor, Jim Fogarty, Rene Ferguson
Why on earth would you pick mcbreen
Agree.
Although a couple of years ago they picked Jobe - but from memory he opted out of the side to give the younger guys a go.
Maybe Daniel will do the same.
20 players .... 8 from edgy ? Hhhhmmmmm who's the coach ? Zany ? Haha
Winning comp yes, but deserved of half the team almost for nnsw ? Please ....... In saying that , where's bren hamell ?
he hasn't played for edgy in a few weeks i think. Might be injured.
i dislike olypmic but i give credit where its due - DANNY IRELAND ????
My first pick above everyone... has not even got a sniff.
I have always seen sean as a def mid
Shane Paul has been Magic's best all year.
Made himself unavailable.
Do we know the selection criteria he was given to choose the squad from? Is this simply a list of players that have made themselves available?
all political crap as usual.
mainly young up and comers with the addition of mcbreen.
I can say shane paul is the player of the year in my eyes at magic followed by james virgili,
and there is probably other teams with so called 25 and older players that from what i have watched should be named aswell

If he didn't select his own players you would be saying he was just worried about protecting his premiership run.
Bloke can't win sometimes as he has in a way put his season on the line by selecting what he feels as his best squad and in being true to the concept, put his players at risk of injury
If that is the case maybe he should not be the coach. Don't get confused. Just because Edgeworth are leading the comp and won it all last year, does not mean there are no good players elsewhere. Players should be selected on form, if that means 8 players form Edgy so be it, if it mean only one player from edgy that is fine as well. i'm not so sure that everyone has been given an even chance.
If you were going to pick an ex HAL player in the select squad surely Bertos has been performing better on a regular basis than McBreen.
Do you genuinely believe that the 21 players named are the only guys that were approached or looked at? The article in the Herald even states that Goodchild and Wheelhouse were considered but ruled out with injury. I'm sure they aren't the only two that were considered and I'm also sure that conversations would have occurred with all coaches and that certain players wouldn't have been released or possibly turned down the opportunity themselves.
As for the makeup of the team, of the Edgeworth players selected McBreen would be the only one that you could argue isn't in their best form. I'd also suppose that a relatively younger side has been chosen as guys like Virgili, Moore, Remington, Cooper etc. will have the engines to compete with the pace set by the Jets. Just a thought...
If I coached a club side that won last year and were winning again this year, and was asked to pick the NNSW side, I'd sure as hell pick the guys I know could and have done a job for me.
OK
If I was coach I would not pick my players at all. Throw a token 1 or 2 in and pick a few key players from rival team. Specifically the one you are playing at the weekend and give them the full 90
