Future Magpies Watch '09

[King Woodie]

I think the more important thing is to get the boys selected for the Western Sydney U18 team to compete in the TAC cup.

Far better quality competition for a lot longer period (over the season).

If it was just the National Champs, they'd get 4-5 high quality games, and then have to go back to playing rubbish opposition.

Great thread and discusion though.

But would we lose there Scholarship if they did that?

 

[The Royal Sampler]

No Dave, in fact many of the boys on scholarships have been training with the WS18 side to play in the TAC Cup. As King Woodie mentioned it would give them some quality opposition to play against. Young likely wouldn't be involved as he's playing VFL for us, but maybe Witts/Hartley/Perry would be in contention.

I might scout around and see who's in the training squad, if such info is available online.

That's Good then - Hope they make it so we I can go and check them out in the TAC Cup

Rember reading in the Hearld Sun that Bucks was Close to a South African Kid who seemed really talented and they said he would go where Bucks went?

Does anyone Remember that article?

Squads released for the NSW under state trails in Coffs Harbour in January next year.
Looks like all our boys made their respective squads.

Except for Josh Parsons whose name should've appeared in the Northen Heat squad?????

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Yeah, not sure what the story is with Josh... he is only 16, but so are Yakimov, Hartley etc. We have yet to see if Carracher makes it for that matter, but so far so good.

Dam 3 games short

 

[The Royal Sampler]

He was part of their squad last year too... ah well, on current indications he's unlikely to be a world-beater.

Hopefully you are Correct,

Is there any Possible Pies Father/Sons to look out for Next Season?

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Not that I'm aware of, mate.

Okay I think the Closest is Craig Startatvich(Spelling?) Son?

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Yeah, Jackson Starcevich would be close, IIRC he played U16's this year so he'd be a slim chance to be picked to play for Qld as a bottom-aged player in 2010.

Well if he does get a Go then we could be on to a Possible player there.

What kind of player is he and do you have any info on him?

 

[The Royal Sampler]

He plays as a CHF most of the time. Any other info is in here, and there're 569 posts now so I'm not going back through it.

I well he could be but I want to know about his son

 

[The Royal Sampler]

I'd say so, TradeDraft, he'd be > 190cm.

 

[hamish crayfish]

Heard from a reliable source that Josh Parsons has had his scholarship contract ripped up

I heard from a reliable source that someone saying something ludicrous with a username like "hamish crayfish" shouldn't be trusted blindly.

Want any updates, Vinnie? The original statement was correct...not so ludicrous after all...but you are the expert on all things

 

[soreplums]

No, Ben Camilleri will not be rookied. We have three boys eligible next year however, in Perry, Young and Witts.

Can we pre select Young on our senior list with our last pick, put one of the others on the NSW Rookie List and another on our normal rookie list? If it could it would mean that we get all of them at the club
