Boomers squad

Forgot to add Worthington in there for the young group and alos maybe brad robbins

For these olympics I would be guessing something like

PG - (Bruton)/Mills/Mee
SG - (Smith)/Newley
SF - (Mackinnon)/Worthington/Barlow
PF - (Neilsen)/Andersen/Redhage
C - (Bogut)/Andersen/Jawai

Alot of verstility in the front line there with most players able to play 2 spots effectively. If Darnell or bruton are injured or whatever the we won't need to worry as barlow or smith can fill in at the 1. Stephen black would suit the international perimeter game well but I can't see him getting a gig as he is undersized at the 2 spot and not quick/athletic enough or a great driver/passer at the 1. James harvey has too much of ego, work ethic to play for Australia. BTW starters in brackets.

For the future after 2008 olympics, I would like to see a core young team of:

PG - Mills, Bruce, Gibson(maybe), D.Joyce [JOKE]
SG - Newley,
SF - Ingles, Redhage, Barlow
PF - Ballinger, Nielsen, Loughton
C - Bogut, Andersen, Jawai

Im not sure if we're aloud both Balliner and Redhage in the squad but if we cant then one of them will be unlucky. Barlow and Ingles can slide to the SG spot. This should be a great young group of players to build upon and just adding a few experienced players for each comp.

PG Bruton/Mills/Mee
SG Newley/Smith/Bruce
SF McKinnon/Barlow/Worthington
PF Anderson/Nielsen/Redhage
C Bogut/Jawai/Schenscher

I wouldnt mind if Ingles switched with Bruce and Wortho switched with Saville.

for the australia vs australia A

switch saville with barlow

hinder shouldnt even be in the australia A team

switch schensher and jawai

Could not see Mee going, age and injuries.
Smith will go, Boy Goorj.
Kendall will go, see above.

Personally, do not think Saville will go, McKinnon and Worthington to share that role.

Personally, I would have

Bruton, Mills, Kendall
Newley, Barlow, Smith
McKinnon, Worthington
Anderson, Neilsen
Bogut, Jawai

twenty four u seemed to hav hit the nail on the head


that looks like a very strong line up

redhage out jawai into MOSES team

otherwise nice

how about jawai??

Basketball jesus wat were u thinking wen leaving newly and mackinon out of the team??

and top effort... agreeing?

PG: Mills, Bruton

SG: Smith, Ingles

SF: Newly, WOrthington, SAville

PF: Mackinon, Anderson, Neilson

C: Bogut, Schensher

i think that team is looking pretty acurate, sam mckinnon is always injured now days
and newly cant do it at the top level

good work

In the past the boomers have always suffered because they have not been able to pass the ball into their bigs, if the Boomers again go with 6 6 guys, when they play the Europeans they will not be able to get the ball into Bogut. They need 6 9 guys to pass the ball in, my suggestion is guys like Larry Davidson over 6 9 great ballhandler and passer. Mark Worthington is too short and hot headed.

My team would be:

PG: Bruton, Mills, Kendall

SG: Smith, Ingles

SF: Worthington, Saville

PF: Anderson, Holmes

C: Bogut, Schensher, Anstey


Thoughts ?

It will be interesting how many of the kings players get a place, but even better how many deserve it?

Smith
Saville
Worthington
they should all have a place in the team but that means brian has to leave out kendall and hinder

thats not going to happen
