Yes, I like your logic. You are indeed quite correct. It would have been very interesting if the ISA chap kicked the conversion in the first game - The
scheemers convenors would have come unstuck.
I suppose we are now in a position that if 90% of the squad is picked from GPS 1 or GPS 2 the whole selection process has been validated.
There were some good players in the ISA, CHS and CAS squads and one or two from the CCC team that maybe should be considered, that will not get a look in, and were probably never destined to get a look in.
The whole process was quite interesting from my perspective. My thoughts on the weekend:
- the overall quality of football was good but not exceptional. The GPS teams didn't live up to the hype. I was expecting them to blow the other teams off the park. They played some reasonable football and will rightly gain the majority of the selections;
- some gusty performances from all the teams. The Country team battled to the end;
- the CAS team were dissapointing. Had some reasonable forwards. Was expecting more.
- the ISA team looked like the best drilled team and performed in every game. It was a shame they didn't go further;
- the CHS team had some gifted players but lacked structure and cohesion at critical moments. Making 10 subsititutions per game did not help the cause. The CHS team had the most raw talent on display - the problem being that it was too raw;
- the CCC team never got going, all though there were flashes from one or two players. Again, they suffered from lack of structure and know how.
- had plenty of bacon and egg rolls, coffee and a big unbrella. Overall, an enoyable weekend.
