    I'll tip Canberra to win, but I think it will be closer than that. Rain and cold weather is forecast, which could be a leveller.
    Canberra by 21.

    Seeing as it doesn't count to the overall stats, I'll keep the faith.
    Sydney in an upset by 22.

    Swans Development match

    Matt Carey (65), Sam Widmer (65), Aaron Crisfield (9), Damian Dell'Aquila (29) - Pennant Hills
    Michael Sawyer (16), Chris Murphy (3), Dale Fitzgerald (3) - North Shore
    Damian Bowles (29), Joel Curzon (179) - Balmain Dockers
    Ben Haberley (74), Joel Robbie (54) - St George
    Jeremy Kiel (136), Ed Kiel (74), Dane Rampe (0) - UNSW/ES
    Tim Kear (0), James Ford (0) - East Coast Eagles
    Sam Dowling (179), Mitch Hogan (83) - Wollongong
    Shanan Kershaw (110), Corey Everson (170), Matt Edwins (83) - Campbelltown
    Joe Cunnington (39), Tim Lambert (100), Ed Carroll (0) - Western Suburbs
    Paul Franchi (0), Will Overs (0) - RAMS

    Only Livy and maybe Hudson in the senior team and Fitzgerald and Murphy in the development team.
    Considering the selectors would have watched a majority of games and players before picking their teams, does this suggest that only Michael Hosking is fair dinkum with his selections of best players?
    Brackets is where I have them ranked.

    It suggests that your system is a waste of time.

    Agreed. If we went by BMR's system we would have a rep team full of young 20-22 yr olds who all play on a half back flank or wing (high possession getters, likely to not have a tag or direct opponent, who are also likely to receive recognition from the coaching staff as encouragement in the 'bests' each week) with the occasionally senior player like Livy thrown in.

    Mind you, there is reason to be suspicious that THIS IS how last yrs rep team was picked.

    BTW I can't for the life of me understand why Dugmore wouldn't be a walk up start at Full Forward for the rep team?
    Rooboy can you shed any light?

    The bloke seems to be unavailable every year for some reason. No doubt some are injured, some have personal reasons and some can't be bothered. I reckon the selectors have genuinely tried to pick the best team from those who've made themself available. I've been impressed with the presence of coach/selectors at club games.

    How'd I know that comment would come from one of the anonymous posse that bags everything?

    I would say it shows that coaches shouldn't be the ones picking the best players. Simple as that.
