I'd pick Jon Deuter, just look at those stats per 48 minutes!

Darren Ng.

Puddifoot. The guy works harder than anyone i know.

Jon Deuter for me too - pick him for his hair do!!

Seriously I would pick the Woodville import

Tree!!!!

Isaac, how about a starting 5 plus bench player for the new team? who would everyone pick for men and woman? No Nbl or Wnbl players included.



Mine are:

Men
Darren Ng
J Dix
tree
vanderberg
watson

six man would be puddyfoot

woman
el from north
vicki kelson
Liz Keane
Amanda Williams
Rach Keller

six girl would be nat buck

Men
Darren Ng
Paul Vandenbergh
Jacob Holmes
Oscar Forman
Jason Dix

six man - Cam Wilson
Coach KB


Women
El Coghan
Erin Phillips
Tracy Beatty
Vikki Kelson
Laura Summerton

six woman - Dee Ranford
Coach Marc Wallis

shows I need to pay more attention and read the entire post!

Interesting thread and i like the conditions of no NBL Talent.

Mine would be: (maximum one from each team)
David Shephard
Jye Watson
Andrew Puddifoot
Jason Dix
Steve Pilkington

I don't think Pilkington is playing this year, is he?

If there are no club restrictions then :

Cam Wilson
Darren Ng
Jye Watson
Jason Dix
Jordan Dodman

If we're allowed 1 per club I'll take :

Darren Ng
Jye Watson
Danny Phillips
Jason Dix
Matt Elder

The latter being possibly the worst defensive starting 5 in history.

Ng/Dodman from Sturt ...

Yet you dropped Wilson when forced to choose one from each club.

What do you have Ng playing for both the Warriors and Sabres in 2006 Hoop!?

No, but how many good big guys are there in ABL in 2006? Forman & Hambour are both 6ers, the rest are not so great.

So if I were to keep Wilson in there and drop Dodman, the 5 spot would be a big step down. I figured that was the best lineup for each situation.

Just thinking on that - is Elder actually back this year?

Watson
Ng
or Dix would be the pick

Vikki Kelson a definite in the womens. She should given so much more opportunity when she played for Lightning. I still remember the story where Vikki was given the last couple of minutes in a Lightning game and she turned Jan down, then quit at the end of the season. She knew she deserved to be treated better and a couple of token minutes for an experienced player isn't fair..

Well if you were the new coach and picked someone from another team...I dont think you would be the new coach for long with your club being mega fined for poaching :P

...and sometimes players just fall into your lap.

pickles housemate you just wish a player would fall in your lap. What the hell are you talking about?

Dunno, you're the bullshit artist - explain yourself first. :)

Yes I am the Bullshit Artist but your brain must be fried not pickled. How the hell can a player fall in your lap? Tool!

...maybe the player doesn't like teh club their at and they call an ex-coach of theirs... I would consider that to be having a player fall in your lap.

A palyer who used to play for the club you are the coach off wants to "come home" - I would consider that to be a player falling in your lap.

Clown! :D

Players only do that if they feel that the coach that is there at the time is goodenough to improve there game. So is that really falling in your lap or good for the club cause they have pick the right coach in these players eyes. To either bring them back or get them to come across cause I'm sure most players would look at who the coach is and what they can offer before they made the move or they would stay where they are. So I feel its more to do with the coach of the team then just falling into the club's lap.

Thank you to all of the Warriors fans, I hope the new season goes well for you guys.

OKAY - Look at it this way:
From a coach's point of view, the player falls into the clubs lap. From the players point of view, the player wants to play for that coach...
