u17 womens squad for world champs

Just wondering what you guys thought of the u17 womens squad for the world champs?

Although Maley and Sharp are both good rebounders I
thought the squad lacked in height with no McKay or Milisic, I guess preferring to go with hopoate and bibby.

Squad:
CHLOE BIBBY (VICC)

MADELEINE DENNIS (WAM)

JASMINE FORCADILLA (NSWC)

BRIDE KENNEDY-HOPOATE (QLDS)

ANNELI MALEY (VICM)

BRIDGET O'BRIEN (QLDS)

TAYLOR ORTLEPP (SAM)

GEORGIA PINEAU (VICM)

MADDISON ROCCI (VICM)

ALEXANDRA SHARP (VICM)

TAHLIA TUPAEA (NSWM)

MORGAN YAEGER (SAM)


MISSING OUT:

CHANTEL HORVAT (VICC)

JADE JOHNSON (SAM)

MEGAN MCKAY (WAM)

DANIJELA MILISIC (NSWM)

ELIZABETH TONKS (NSWC)

Milisic may have been injured (or not fit enough) because she made every team up until now and her height is important...

Think it's a strong physical squad rather than super tall, might struggle at worlds without that extra bit of height

I reckon... If you look at the U.S roster, they have 2- 6'3, 2-6'4 and 1-6'9 player.
I wonder if the coaches scout other teams at this level.

Obviously our coach wasn't @ the U18 Nationals (sarcasm mofos). But good luck to all the players who made the team, i am sure they will do well.

I think they will do well too , we don't have too many 6ft plus girls in that age bracket here , so he's taken a strong athletic team

Sometimes size doesn't deliver.

A good side. Some surprising changes which isn't a bad thing.

Good luck to team n coaches go Aussies!

Pick the best team and play to your strengths! I'd say that's what Chris is doing here. Experienced and proven coach. Good luck to Chris and the girls.
