U/18 All Australian predictions

[doggiesin08]

mitchell banner will be in the side. showed in yesterday's match against w.a that is he a potential top10 pick.

nah won't go top 10 at current rate.

 

[LukeHodge15]

SA
Hartlett
Broadbent


VIC COUNTRY
Suban
Sidebottom
Heyne
Ziebel


VICMETRO
Watts
McKernan
Hurley


WA
Hill
Rich
Pearce
Yarran
NitNat

TAS
Robinson

IMO these 15 guys pick themselves. Its the final spots up for grabs.

------------

The 2nd Ruck spot is interesting with Vikery and Roughead probably ahead of McCulloch and Redden. Vickery and Roughhead hard to split. Both extrememly talented Ruckman. Probably go with Vikery by a whisker, but its toss of the coin stuff.

So thats 16.

 

[albyplus]

Here it goes based on who played well in the carnival nothing else:

Hooper (VIC C) - Hurley (VIC M) - C.Pearce (WA)

Sidebottom (VIC C) - J.Lisle (VIC M) - S.HILL (WA)

Zaharkis (VIC M) - Ziebell (VIC C) - M.Robinson (Tas)

N.Jetta (WA) - J.Watts (VIC M) - K.Lucas (WA)

M.Walters (WA) - J.Butcher (VIC C) - N.Heyne (VIC C)

Natunai (WA) - H.Harteltt (SA) - Deboer (WA)

S.Mckernan (VIC M) - Rich (WA) - S.Blease (VIC M) - M.Banner (VIC M)

Typical Victorian bias - 12 Vics & only 1 SA player - what a joke. You guys just don't get it do you?

im from WA
I also said that i may have nto put enough SA players in there and mentioned Okeffe, Johsntone, Cahill and Broadbent. I also cant take any of those Vics out that were all so good during the carnival.

Butcher, Watts and Heyne were the best tall forwards by far and Cahill, Johsntone just miss out. Okeffe may get a BP/HBF spot or a bench spot instead of Rich,S.Blease or M.Banner

 

[albyplus]

Surely O'Keeffe in front of Hooper in BP. Hooper had 5 kicked on him by Tapscott v SA. O'Keeffe had a wonderful carnival and was SA MVP.

yeah true switch that around then. I only had Hooper because he played a true back pocket role for most of the carnival and is small so he can take smalls which is what the AA selectors would like.

I saw Okeffe as a true HBF not BP but he should be in the AA side i would switch that after having a good think

 

[over the top]

just a few statements on a few posts:

1. Lisle will not make AA

2. Did Hannebebury even get a game? All you Xavier kids stop talking up your mates.

3. I would be dissapointed if scully was left out, but i would understand.

4. There are definately more AA players from SA than just hartlett

 

[Dunn - Well Done]

just a few statements on a few posts:

1. Lisle will not make AA Who to be CHB than J.Jones or J.Laurie

2. Did Hannebebury even get a game? All you Xavier kids stop talking up your mates. havnt even heard of him much

3. I would be dissapointed if scully was left out, but i would understand. Didnt have an overly dominating carnival to warrant a spot either him or Lucas on the HFF would be interesting

4. There are definately more AA players from SA than just hartlett I have Okeffe and Hartlett but i think there are better forwards in the carnival than Johnston, Cahill, Schoemakers

reply back to these cheers !

anyone have the u/18 all-australian team for last year? i can find just the names of the players in the team but i can't find the actual team with the positions.

Nice to see you're paying good attention albyplus.

No but i can sort of remember it of the top of my head, which players would you like to know about

 

[murph#3]

um- the carlton players preferably.

but if you can remember anyone else i'd like to know that too thanks.

 

[Big Bad Sammus]

Very rough guys, I reckon I'll do well to get 10 of them

B Andrew Hooper (VC), Michael Hurley (VM), Clancee Pearce (WA)
HB Rhys O'Keefe (SA), Jordan Jones (VC), Kade Klemke (NSW/ACT)
C Steele Sidebottom (VC), Daniel Rich (WA), Scott Reed (NSW/ACT)
HF David Zaharakis (VM), Jack Watts (VM), Ryan Schoenmakers (SA)
F Christopher Yarran (WA), Lewis Johnston (SA), Aaron Cornelius (TAS)
R Shaun McKernan (VM), Hamish Hartlett (SA), Mitch Robinson (TAS)
I Nicholas Naitanui (WA), Nick Suban (VC), Tyrone Vickery (VM), Mitchell Banner (VM), Ranga Ediriwickrama (NSW/ACT)

EDIT, probably could've had another couple of WA boys like Swift but can't be bothered working them into it.

Bit stiff for John Butcher to miss AND for this Ranga to get in!

[Budda 230]

I haven't seen every match, but from what I've seen, I don't think this would be too far off the mark.

B: Hooper (VC) Hurley (VM) Pearce (WA)
HB: O'Keefe (SA) Lisle (VM) Hill (WA)
C: Zaharakis (VM) Suban (VC) Robinson (TAS)
HF: Heyne (VC) Watts (VM) Ziebel (VC)
F: Yarran (WA) Butcher (VC) Johnston (SA)
R: Naitanui (WA) Hartlett (SA) Banner (VM)
INT: Vickery (VM) Broadbent (SA) McKernan (VM) Rich (WA)

Unlucky: Sidebottom (VC) Cornelius (TAS) Klemke (NSW) Ediriwickrama (NSW) Blease (VM) Sheahan (VC) De Boer (WA) Roughead (VC) Redden (SA)

Vic Metro: 7
WA: 5
Vic Country: 5
SA: 4
Tassie: 1

I really wanted Sidebottom in there, but couldn't find an appropriate position for him.

I really wanted Sidebottom in there, but couldn't find an appropriate position for him.

unsure of 2 rucks on the bench
Walters and Deboer will definatly make it IMO and also think K.Lucas will go really close.

Ziebell played mostly midfield or centre in the carnival to put him HFF adds another 6 2'' player in the forward line.

Yarran only played 3 games so he may miss. and did suban really have a good enough carnival to make it.

Okeffe - Hurley - Pearce
Sidebottom - J.Jones - S.Hill
Zaharkis - Ziebell - M.Robinson
K.Lucas - Watts - Heyne
M.Walters - Butcher - Johnston

Natunai - Hartlett - Deboer

Rich, S.Mckernan, Suban, Banner

 

[steveyboi]

Hey guys,

for anyone that hasn't been able to get out to the games, I've put a pictorial version of the "big footy" All Australian Team together..
you'll find it on the following link:

http://captured.net.au/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=allaustralian

As soon as the real team is named it will be updated!! Cheers

 

[The Royal Sampler]

The Rams won two games, just like Vic Country and one more than Tasmania; in fact they beat Vic Country when they met and finish above them on the table. To suggest no Rams players will make AA is a bit much IMHO. Their biggest problem is that the likes of Ediriwickrama, Reed, Kirkwood and Klemke are essentially vying for midfield spots.

 

[Masten2McKinley]

s hill will def make AA and go top 20 in the draft

apparantly richmond are thinking of usein there top pick on him

 

[albyplus]

What is the criteria for AA?
Carnival Form?
Draftability?
Politics?

Or all 3? I think it should be Carnival Form but I know it is not.

Open for discussion and debate!

 

[the big vee]

You people are fools your telling me your going to pick daniel rich in the AA squad !Apart from his 1 ok game he has been terrible for all this hype around him if ur goin on form in the champs he would be lucky to get drafted in the top 20

 

[Stats right]

Some WA stats! AIS and media hype will sway selectors who apparently are all Victorians! Can anyone confirm who is on the panel-besides Sheehan?

Pearce 90 possessions and 21 marks
Deboer 102 25
Lucas 89 25
Rich 80 13
Walters 88 29
Hill 67 15
Yarran 46 (4 games) 13

 

[Yoda_]

Here is a rough estimate (as with most teams) to what the AA team will be.

B: S.Hill (W) Hurley (VM) Pearce (WA)

HB: Suban (VC) Lisle (VM) Broadbent (SA)

C: DeBoer (WA) M.Robinson (TAS) Sidebottom (VC)

HF: Jetta (WA) Watts (VM) Walters (??)

F: Yarren (WA) Johnston (SA) Cornelius (TAS)

R: Naitanui (WA) Rich (WA) Hartlett (SA)

I/C: Zibell (VC) McKernan (VM) Zaharakis (VM)

O'Keefe (SA)

just a rough estimate, surely Suban would be in, off a back flank, was consistant, Jonhston would play, as he is purely a forward, took a lot of contested marks and played as a real leader, Cornelius, would also be their, kept presenting, even when the times were tough for Tas, Robinson too, even though it was Div 2, you have to be a bloody good player to win the award, some people have also spoken about broadbent, he would be their for mine, as he is a utility type rebounder who loves to run and carry, Mckernan, 2nd Best ruckmen over the champs, Vickery stiff, O'Keefe was stiff also not to get a gig on the ground, but is on the bench, thoughts on my team, would have thought that is closer to the money,

 

[tiger_army]

if rich gets in the team is a disgrace.
bar his last game he did nothing if it was someone else he wouldnt even be talked about it should be chosen on who plays the best not who has the biggest hype surrounding them and as they do they must be good so have 2 be selected in the team.
if the judges have any credability they would not pick him
