Opals squad named for Pre-Olympic Qualifers

you dont want Kunek , she suits 3X3 individual mentality game, Ohea is a leader, and does much more than score, if that part of her games off she does all the other bits that go to make her a very valuable player to have, great level calm head too. Talbot , Seekcamp and Garbin are three that bring nothing .
biggest issues they have as a group is the injury history, Griffin, Blicavs, Tolo, Madgen, Tupuea even Ohea, are all plagued with injuries constantly, yet always seem to get picked, think its time they used the AFL model, injured your relegated to reserves till you can prove you can stay sound lol

"" would have chosen

Ebzery
Ohea
Allen
Griffin
Cambage

Lavey
Nicholson
Talbot
Froling or Garbin
Magbegor

Garrick
George

Cut
Mitchell
Tupaea
Whitcomb
Madgen
Blicavs
Bishop
Tolo - rest
""

first off Ebzery cant run point like Mitchell, which was more than evident on this last tour, she also turns the ball over far too much for a guard with her experience. Right now Mitchell is the best most experienced PG Australia has , thats a fact that will see her as the one naturalized player, so Whitcomb( dont think she brings much anyway) and Griffin ( she would be a good inclusion if she could remain injury free but we have others that can play that spot that are Australian not naturalized).
Tupaea and Madgen shouldnt even be on the list,

Looks like Griffin having a little bit of run on Sunday. Warming up, first game back from injury.

Do we not to select guards who can defend quick guards rather than another forward, as good as Griffin is?

We got done over by China's and Japan's guards - our bigs were our best players in Bengaluru. Allen, George and Ezi were all very good.

Baffling.

Can't wait until we see Kristy Wallace and Tiana Mangakahia back in full flight pending full recoveries.

Just saw a promo from Today Tonight for a story about the guy who shot the $5000 half court shot the other week. Sounds like they have refused to pay out his winnings.

What's the story? Presume they don't want to pay as they gave him two shots?
