SANFL 2022 West End State Squad announced

[MW]

How we can get three in the squad and not get near winning a game for nearly 12 months is beyond me...

[another grub]

Tommy lucky to make it?

[another grub]

How does WA side look?

[Spargo]

New captain. Cant agree

Reasons?

How we can get three in the squad and not get near winning a game for nearly 12 months is beyond me...

It's been over 12 months since West last won a game (Rnd 5 v CD last year - 1/5/21) at League level.

I reckon if Proud and Partington weren't withdrawn due to injury then Keough and Carmichael might not have made it.

In my option, Kaiden Brand has been the best CHB this year and deserves his spot while Carmichael has been a real surprise packet.

I called the Crows game on Saturday and he looked comfortable against AFL listed boys, playing himself into a state jumper and maybe a MSD spot.

On the form Kyle Presbury has shown last season and so far this season surprised hes not in

Brand was absolutely outstanding for a bit over a quarter against North before momentarily knocking himself out falling backwards to take a very courageous mark.
For those with very long memories he reminds me of the great Peter Cloke, who was the most courageous high mark I have ever seen and rated by Tommy Hafey as the equal best, with Royce Hart, mark that Tommy ever coached.
Sorry to go off on a tangent, but I am trying to emphasise just how good Brand was that night.
On the other hand neither Keough nor Carmichael did much against North to suggest they deserved a state guernsey. They got plenty of the ball without being dangerous. I guess that it is hard in a team some devoid of confidence as West were against North.
It does seem strange that West have 3 players in the team, yet Sturt, who I rate as a potential Grand Finalist, only have 2 players.
Then again, like most North supporters I am torn about having players represent the state. We all know what happened to the greatest player any of us are likely to see in a state game. It took North 10 years to recover from one injury in a state game.

Half of them have played for West Coast this season

[Wedgie]

Anyone know much about WA?

Very big state, capital is Perth.
Has some great vineyards in the south west near Margaret River.
Apparently marron is not just native to south west Australia but also Kangaroo Island.
Bon Scott is buried there in Fremantle.
Little Creatures originated there.
The America Cup resided there in there in the mid 80s for a while.
Bussleton has a bloody long jetty and a great market.
That's it from me.

... and our State selectors left out three of the top 10 players in the comp because the coach doesn't get on with them. If averaging 39 possessions this year (and a lazy 51 last weekend, albeit some were cheap 1-2's) can't get you in the team, what else can it be?

Agreed - how these 3 players are missing in this side is just bizarre.

That saying SA should win this.
