Have been around this group of young women and men extensively over the past six months. Thoroughly pleased for all that have made the teams. Like all groups there are some surprising selections and omissions, but these kids can all seriously play. They (both groups) will be tough to beat!

not so sure the metro teams will breeze through the tournament this time round.

Nsw metro go pretty deep in the boys and so too sa m and qld Sth in the girls.

Congratulations mum and dad

First time in a while where vic teams won't tower over there opponents.

Will be another great tournament.

Will be interesting to see how bulleen 16 girls go against interstate teams

That U14 Bulleen team didnt lose all year from memory...epic group!

This might be the year vic metro doesnt do so well.
U18s and u16s.

Who says there has to be an even spread? Happens once in a while when one club is very strong in that particular age group.
'Sorry, you clearly deserve your spot, but we have too many players from your team already, so we are picking someone from a team that several places below your team on the ladder, we can't look fishy'

So by your theory the 5-6 player at this "strong club" is stronger than the single best player at the other 17 VC clubs??

Vic

definately not who I expected when they announced vic metro womens.
Looking forward to seeing how they go.

Including reserves..

6 bulleen-1 reserve
3 Knox
3 DV-1 reserve

2 Dandenong-2 reserve
1 Nunawading-1 reserve

TB?

Coaches want to win so they are not going to leave out "the best player in the comp", even if they have an exceptionally bad attitude.

I don't think it matters who vic choose.
Sa m and qld Sth look much deeper.

I'd fancy my chances with the 5 reserves and a pick of 5 new players.

"There were at least another 3 bulleen or ex bulleen coaches involved in selection including the current Bulleen assistant coach.""

I am not sure that this is correct?
There was one selector there from Frankston
There was a slew of coaches from many clubs who where there to facilitate sessions, not involved with selecting though.

Is this just two people whose daughter got cut having a circular conversation?

The 2026 team went undefeated with a number of players from several clubs. Melb, Dandy, Knox, Bulleen, Hawthorn & DV. What was wrong with that panel ?

Is that a prediction? Or can you time travel?

If only people in this country were just as concerned with their children's academics rather than a game that should be played for fun... smh

#484 - Nice ... Play on
