From us, Tyson and Koby Ettridge, Heath Pym, Brad Shimmin, Ross Sharer, Mikey Brown, Cam Faulkner.

Far too many players in the squad though. Gonna end up being in the mid 40's by the time you put the Virginia guys in.

feel sorry for stretch first training

If I was coaching, I'd have a similar size squad. There will be blokes that will get injured and cant play between now and then. Last thing you want to be doing is ringing blokes on the Thursday night before the game. It happens every year! Also when 12 blokes ring up and cant train, you want more than 18 on thre track to get some value out the night.

Kind of agree, a squad of 30 would've been ample, there will be plenty of players driving to training knowing they are wasting their time.

[OnSong]

Virginia at a guess: James, Robertson, Howell, Stronach (U21), Mark, Niklaus, Russell

[Skip Dimes]

HWE
J Cicolella
McKinnon
Turrell
Nietschke (U21)?
Greenshields (U21)

Correct. His attendance for Central District trainings midweek may however affect his ability to attend assoc training.

Onsong,is that Hayden Battle coaching U17 association? good to see the association on the ball with 17s training starting next week and players still have no letters as names were called for last night at 7pm!!!

What if you're player number 47 in the squad though, and you can't make training cause of work reasons, Uni etc. and you get suspended even though you were never gonna play because there are 46 players to be picked in front of you. Thats the guys that I feel sorry for, and by reducing the squad size there is less of a chance of this happening.

But, no system is perfect.

Would've thought B.Montgomery & Montgomerie from Mallala would've got a look in from what I've seen.

Glaring omission. He did win the medal last year correct?

I didn't catch up with Battle last night. Couldn't say.

Brian has kicked 18 goals for the year and Joel is class personified.

What are people's thoughts of how the actual lineup taken to Jamestown could look like?

The last 4 times Mallala and Hamley have played Joel has (without even exaggerating) averaged over 40 touches per game. The Ranga can seriously play!
As I said last year, squad numbers should get reduced. Either right from the start or atleast closer to the final team selection.
Much like the SANFL state team selection. Don't need 40+ guys to choose from on the Thursday night before the association game.

[Nocyrils]

No training for association. we are just getting on the piss. more relaxed approach this year. rumour is V Thach captain , Bill fuller vice and les Pearson deputy vice. congrats lads.

I can still have an opinion, I have seen them twice this season and more often than not reputation plays a big part in selection.

Craig Taylor (C) for a start.
