I had to combine NT and Tassie because there werent enough players to form teams... lol.

I spent a while doing this, so dont shoot it down straight away, but thoughts?

I think something that can be made out of this is that NSW and Queensland would both be very competitive. They both have flaws, but enough talent that could be exploited by a good coach. Queensland have a powerful forward line that could hurt smaller defenses. NSW lack a quality ruckman, but have a good enough midfield to compete also. :thumbsu:

INT: Andrew Mackie(GEE) - Ryan Griffen (WBD) - Bernie Vince (ADE) - Tyson Edwards(ADE)

Changes:

In -
Johncock
Vince
Porps
S. Thompson

Out:
Lake - lineball between he and rutten but the backline was too tall with both of them.
Brennan - from the NT isn't he?
McMahon - Porps is one of the best small forwards.
S. Burgoyne - been injuried all year and vastly overrated.

Changes off the top of my head.

Kozshitske is a NSW/ACT boy, stick him in at FF

Dan Cross, Schneider, Paul Bevan and Kieran Jack can surely find a spot ahead of guys who havent yet played a game...

Leo hasnt played a game yet so i replaced him

MacIntosh would be the ruckman for NSW/ACT also

Sherman is a Tassie boy

New South Wales/ACT;

B: Sam Gilbert (STK) - Lewis Roberts-Thomson(SYD) - Paul Bevan (SYD)
HB: Kieran Jack (SYD) - Craig Bolton(SYD) - Brent Guerra (HAW)

F: Tom Hawkins (GEE) - Justin Kozshitske (STK) - Taylor Walker(ADE) -
R: Hamish McIntosh (NMK) - Lenny Hayes(STK) - Mark McVeigh(ESS)
INT from: - Tom Logan(PTA) - Ed Barlow (SYD) - Dylan Addison (WBD) - Brent Staker (WCE) - Ryan Houlihan (CARL) - Dean Solomon (FREM) - Ben McGlynn (HAW)

Not a bad team at all really.

For the record, monty has screwed me majorly, since I got all my SoO listings from Fanfooty.

The new NSW team looks heaps better though! :thumbsu:
 
Pretty Good teams but stick Richo there instead of J.Riewoldt.Sure he hasn't played for a while, But He's better than friggin I cant kick straight Riewoldt.IF you Want put Riewoldt on the bench or something.

I left Richo out and Chad Cornes too because they were both under long term injuries.

Same with Brent Harvey, even though he just returned. :thumbsu:

great effort mate, but these boys in bold are from st mary's in the preston area of melbourne. easy mistake to make as there is the famous st marys football club that michael long came from in the NT but these boys are definitely victorian, they both were drafted from the northern knights...also in victoria.
