Bottom age nsw players

Qld Sth side will be interesting. A lot of good bottom agers and a mixed bag of top age talent. Selector will have a tough time selecting that team.

Agree.
Thought chatfields perimeter shooting was needed along with derkson as a backup rebounder to Dunn.

Bollands and Ohara are both bottom age post players. Seems Odd taking both when you have Dunn and Kitchell aswell.

2 of the emergencys I thought would be in the starting 5. Will be a very good team, like all vic m teams.

I think qld nth are quite strong.
Potentially
Ward, browning, Swain, bowyer, fearne, cleland, muggeridge etc.

Think country women are stronger than metro this year.

Nsw metro list just released looks strong along with qld nth who will have most of there team returning from last year.

All of the other state sides willl struggle I think.

Boys will be a tight competition. Several strong teams.

Last year a lot of complaints were about how many Bulleen girls were in the metro squad. Only 1 Bulleen girl this year.

Surprised to see so many bottom agers in these squads. Not normal for u16s.
Chatfield and Derkson missing out is a surprise to me. Heal, bollands and Ohara must be very good bottom agers for metro and loughridge for country.
Also interesting country went so small, only one post player in Dunlop.
Dunn, Kitchell, Bollands and Ohara could be a handful.

Be interested to see how Pierre goes for metro boys.

Who are some players to look out for?

Bendigo Braves have signed former University of Michigan star Daniel Horton, who boasts senior year averages of 17.6ppg, 5.3ast, 2.6reb and earned the outstanding defensive player award.

Now this signing in particular poses a new question for me, is SEABL catching up and getting very close to the NBL talent wise, and even administration wise?

Some of the imports are unbelievably talented, Ivan McFarlin, CJ Massingale, Lester Strong, John Pichon, Ismail Muhammad, Fernandez Lockett, Shawntes Gary, Eric Gaff. Most of these guys i think could perform at the NBL level.
