Opals Olympic squad list

Mitchell wasn't even matched up on Epoupa in defence. Chambers went with Clysdale instead. Why


Because Clydesdale is a bigger guard than both Mitchel and Epoupa, and is a great defensive player, she is also very quick.


Anyone else notice how much Epoupa carries the ball and travels, rarely gets called for it though , the refs are too slow to pick her up .

Mitchel is the only decent PG in that squad, Cole an interesting addition, I think of Australia doesn’t make the qualifiers Cole will knock Nicholson or Lavey/Seekamp out.

Whitcomb and Griffin don’t have a chance while we don’t have another PG to go to.

I think we are finishing outside of top,6 this Olympics.

Maybe if an injury occurs, they still will know the plays

so there are too many players in the squad but you want more players in the squad
ummm ok

The squad is longer than it needs to be.

Young players of the future should be around the camp, even if not training imo.
It should be the last go for alot of our current squad.

‘Other big names from the WNBL include the likes of, Jenna O’Hea and Katie-Rae Ebzery who were named in the WNBL All Star First-Team, as well as Cayla George, Rebecca Cole, Stephanie Talbot and Alice Kunek who were named in the All Star Second-Team.’

I think they made a mistake with the list.

Very disappointing year for crocs fans, so lets start the discussion of who stay and who goes for next year. Signed players I believe are hinder, Holmes, blanchfield and pc. Both hinder and Holmes need to move to the bench next year for crocs to be competitive. Crocs management are said to be chasing Ervin and Neville for next year and norton should be an automatic inclusion as backup pg.

That leaves.

Ervin. Norton
Pc
Blanchfield
Holmes
Neville. Hinder

For me the biggest issue for crocs size and rebounding. We need a versatile 4 for can rebound, score and be a legit starter. Lazare fits the mound perfectly imo.

Michael cedar to go or take his brothers spot as the fourth guard. No need for two developing backup point guards in this team, Michael to play as combo guard third ball handling or time for a new direction. Damon heuir maybe.

That leaves adding more size at 3, weigh or the likes could be an option but better to find someone who can slot in behind blanchfield. So my call is Mitch young, 6'9" and versatile, great potential not needed to be a starter straight away and a queenslander.

So my call Allen out for lazare, Michael cedar moves back to 2, chris cedar gone and Mitch young as back up three.
