Final Camp For Emus Before World Championships

The Australian Emus Men's Under 19 squad will assemble at the Centre of Excellence in Canberra from 12-15 May for their final camp before the World Championships in June..... the Emus will gather together as a squad for the last time before a team is selected for a pre-World Championship tour of the Czech Republic and Lithuania from 23 May - 3 June.

Coach Damian Cotter said the camp was integral to the squad as players make their bids to be included in an upcoming tour of Europe, before a final team is chosen to contest the World Championships in the Czech Republic from 27 June – 7 July.

The core of the 2013 Emus squad will be in Canberra with the addition of Jonah Bolden, who joins the group for the first time and Lual Acuil who returns after suffering injury in 2012.

The 17 man Emus squad to assemble in Canberra this Sunday is:

Lual ACUIL (WA) 213
Jonah BOLDEN (NSW) ?197?
Mirko DJERIC (NSW / AIS) 192
Nicholas DUNCAN (NSW / AIS) 203
Dante EXUM (Vic / AIS) 196
Anthony FISHER (Vic) ? ?
Fabijan KRSLOVIC (NSW) ?204?
Jock LANDALE (Vic) 210
Jack LOPEZ (NSW) ?196?

Keanu PINDER (WA / AIS) ?197?

it's the born in 1994 age group so Jack McVeigh (1996) will get a go next time.

there are already a lot of 95's and Bolden at 96

Bolden is about 204cm I'd say.

I think Pinder is over 200cm as well.

Other than that I reckon those guesstimates are pretty close.

Why no Jack Purchase?

Is Jock Landale, Jock Perry from Vic Met?

It still disappoints me the Sam Johns/Sam Daly types from SA fell off the map for this group.

Is it fair to say that Emmett Naar is the best pure point guard the AIS has produced for a while?

Vart, I mean excluding Delly. Is Naar a pure, distributing point guard?

Nice size and skill amongst this group, with some shooters and very good athletes as well.

Del is over 19, too late for him anon...

Also, Ben is a bit young to push into this group I think...

Ben would be the same age as Bolden wouldn't he?

I'd say that Bolden is just a taller, more athletic and better version of McVeigh.

'Is Jock Landale, Jock Perry from Vic Met?'

No, as mentioned
'Jock Landale is from Geelong via Waverley in Melbourne'

also Jock perry is at AIS now and is about 211 from the next u17 group (1997)

Ben Simmons is the same age (1996) he is ready for this is the one, as in two years I think he may be otherwise occupied...

Jack Purchase maybe its his position he was a small forward at 203 last u17 WC, he is listed at 207cm currently on the melbtigers website maybe still on growth spurt or concentrating on studies (his reason, as reported, for not going to the AIS)
