LoveFitbaw Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I think a lot of things need to be taken into consideration. The manager is as involved in the previous set up so would already have a good idea of players from that. They also have training days and matches and you’re always hearing about boys pulling out. Boys have families or get injured playing for there clubs or work maybe. Then boys just might not be interested. It’s a big commitment. I’m not saying that’s the only reasons but I would think that would come into it. Can’t be easy getting a squad to gel so you’d want boys to be together as much as possible.

The manager etc know their stuff. i looked at the stand by list and didnt see any wingers there, so Johnny Black for Makofo looks a straight swap i say that as a big fan of Black, the boy is a real talented player Johny Black not a winger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If u agree that the csafl is the best league then why do u call it a joke?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People forget that commitment when discussing players who are in or not , it’s a big ask with family and work commitments to play Saturday and then train Sunday with midweek games and International fixtures thrown into mix.

Do you have any players in the Scotland set up ?? Nonsense m8. Bannockburn west final. Colville Scottish semi. Eastfield Scottish semi. Oban Saints West semi, leaving SAFL to join CSAFL. Its not rocket science that the Select team had 9 players from the CSAFL in it. Its the best league m8 and thats not being disrespectfull to the other leagues who also have some very good teams.

Guest Mick Kennedy Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I don’t think that would influence Colin’s decisions he obv picked what he thinks is his strongest group of player. As I’m sure we would have maybe picked different players but Colin’s the manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonsense in your opinion because your involved in csafl it's what teams out with csafl see and that's a fact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des18 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Don't think that there are any players from Colville or Bannockburn in the squad and only one from St Pats from what I saw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point i was making that its the strongest league so why wouldnt u pick the majority of players from it. There were good players who were not involved from these teams also but there could be a number of reason why they were not there. There were a few from Eastfield and there in Scottish semi so obviously a good side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinsey Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Iv realised very quickly in my spell as LEAFA select manager that some players you may want in just aren’t available or cannot commit and I’d imagine the Scotland select would be the same albeit on a different scale. Everybody always has a different opinion on who they would have for these things but it’s not as easy as it may seem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in your opinion m8 do u think only 1 player from tollcross is suffice for leafa a think there is other players who just get over looked because they just watch mostly csafl games then take 1 player from the other leagues just to make it look good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mick Kennedy Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Mate I would have thought more of my boys would have got called up even tho a couple pulled out for one reason or another. Knowing Colin as I do he’s an honest guy he would have picked what he thought is the best squad possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took in Sandys v Pennies a few months ago and the Scotland coach was through for that so they do make the effort. Interestingly none of the players from that game made the squad or even training. Big boy for Pennies was absolutely outstanding and I reckoned he would have had a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my point though he doesn't play with a team in csafl if he did am sure he would have had a better chance of making the squad even if like you said just to train and have a closer look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redondo Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Sure the boy ur talking about has been involved in the past guys. Maybe he has been asked or maybe he hasnt, u cant just assume he hasnt though and to say its because he doesnt play in the Central is ludacris. As Mick says the gaffer is a honest guy and will pick the best players (in his opinion) who are available. Not everyones circumstances can allow them to commit to it.

The retro star Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Dinsey am sure with you being select manager and going round the grounds every weekend the Scotland managers has been in contact with you at some point to ask your opinion on some players ?? As clearly he can’t get to every game so makes sense that he speaks to all select managers as there doing a lot of scouting aswel and see a vast amount of players even if u put some forward and he at least invited them to a session to run his eye over them ?
