Thoughts?
EDIT - ok, so I spelled some names wrong. And got the state of residence wrong for some folk. Updated to reflect that.

Wrong! You are wrong.
Thanks for the suggestions of improving the teams.
Nitpicking:
Matt lives in ACT.
You got 2 of the Shepherds spelt right.
And its Neild.
Alec Deslandes for South Australia? Horrible memories of him butchering us in AUG final seem hard to exorcise.
Ok, spelling fixed. Alec put in SA (I thought he moved to Lismore but turns out he didn't). Matt D moved to ACT in place of Twats. Gav Moore put in NSW in his place.
Alex Britten-Jones over Robbie Andrew (or Tom Roden, or Rian Dutch, or Kristian Pash - who are these people?) for SA.
I love Cupcake as much as the next guy, but surely Chris Cunliffe, James Larkin, Finn McCarthy-Adams or similar Firestorm talent in place of him for QLD.
Buttons lives in Victoria, apparently.
No AJ for Canberra?
Let's see a women's draw.
Nice work.
ACT - James Ley would be there.
VIC - Freise
TAS - Matt Petrie and Pat Dunne
WA - Hamish
NSW - Tats
How about a state of origin lineup (i.e. where you first played club frisbee)?
Who's this Leon Smith you speak of?
don't even get a mention, well that the last time i buy you a drink pissy.
Fine with the queensland picks except cupcake. Sure we all love him but the weather has been mean to his pale south of the border skin on the goldie.
@ Tiger: Finn? Surely you jest.
i came to this conversation late. who did alec replace in sa?
and i'd like to see a ladies list as well. radical.
BJ should definitely be on the SA team.
Is that who you would really pick for the starting 7 for Victoria or have you just gone with Gak and then the Dingoes/Mundies?
The ACT's best balanced line is:
Matt Dowle
Warwick Shepherd
Asher Gentle
AJ
James Ley
Max Wheeler
and that Jonno guy.
Maddog is hugely important as our leader and to make huge plays at strategic points but we call on him when we most need him.
Leon Smith certainly has been a significant play making for Canberra in the past but now he is in more of a technical handler for us.
AJ, what a rise to fame he's had.
