Successful moments in procrastination Volume 6-ish

So let's say we had a tournament with state-based teams. Ignoring all club allegiances - play for the state you live in. Who would be the starting seven on each team?

Queensland
Mike Neild
Buzz Burwell
Al Don
John McNaughton
Mat Ryan
Piers Truter
Tom Tulett

Western Australia
John Damiani
Paul Denyer
James Eley
Kendall Thorn
Tim Delane
George Wong
Andrew Delane

South Australia
Joel Pillar
Brett Middleton
Rian Dutch
Kristian Pash
Tom Roden
Robbie Andrew
Alec Deslandes

Tasmania
Mike Baker
Jemery Day
Michael Dunne
Ash Buttons
Felix Kennedy
John Kristensen
Huddy Fuller

ACT
Jonno Holmes
Warwick Shepherd
Leon Smith
Max Wheeler
Peter Hemphill
Asher Gentle
Matt Dowle

New South Wales
Gav Moore
Ant Dowle
Tim Lavis
Pete Blakeley
Ken Shepherd
Pete Gardner
Jonathan Potts

Victoria
Tom Rogacki
Dan Rule
John Liddicoat
Owen Shepherd
Lee Baker
Steve Wealands
Seb Barr


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.

Simon Talbot said...

Thanks for the suggestions of improving the teams.

Owen said...

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.

Simon Talbot said...

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?

Jangles said...

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.

Roden said...

@ 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.

Matt Hill said...

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?

Twatson said...

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.

Matt Hill said...

AJ, what a rise to fame he's had.
