DM i think there will be a game unsure who it will be against the camp runs from friday to sunday this weekend all players staying at the shores. A composite team like the one we played in last year against the team who toured japan might be a posibility

[cannon]

is this a U/21 team?

btw pete good to see you have the right team ihn your avatar :agree:

[Warriors26]

[morelax]

[pumba]

[morelax]

[Warriors26]

Caleb would have been handy he plays good short stick d last i saw and he is always a sneaky **** around the goal line

[morelax]

do u think he would of made the team

[Warriors26]

[Hally]

i hope that is no a offensive word using to descibe me pete. i could beat you anywhere on the field not just the goal line.

Hey dude i am at woodville nah it was a good thing cause a lot of players arn't dangerous from the back of the goal but you always were. Everyone can dodge from out in front! why didnt you trial

[fightinirish]

with all due respect to the other defenders that tried out i dont know how you can put ben tippett as the equal 6th defender. i didnt see the trials but ben tippett was handy at ALL level and should be considered a starter. let alone in the top 6 easily.

[thunder_15]

bad news about alex brown. he has to have a knee reconstruction. poor dude

[Warriors26]

they wern't listed in order of field preferance if they were i would have put myself first :agree:
Yeah point taken but i think i will be more focused on the under 19s team.
He has a lot of potential with his size, would need to get some more checks into his game to be dominant and he slides well.

Sorry to all in the ALL this year but it wasn't the strongest year and to be handy not dominate doesnt make me jump out of my skin

[Hally]

i started to but im tryin out for the Indoor team and if i got in i wouldnt be able to afford to go to both and i would rather play indoor.

Why are in playing in woodville?

[lax.com.au]

ive been trying to find some info on this event such as dates, venue, etc.

The best i could find is http://bayswaterlacrosse.com/data/ASPAC.htm which is hosted by Bayswater Lacrosse Club. How odd.

Anyone got a better link. The New Zealand Lacrosse Associations site is either not working or hasnt been updated with any useful information.

this link appears dead:
http://www.lacrosse.co.nz/
and this one seems to work but not sure how often its updated:
http://eteamz.active.com/nzla/index.cfm?

[Hally]

has the team been named yet?

[Warriors26]

i would say yes but the players are getting it mailed to them first but still yet to recieve the letter so no idea when the team will be annouced

[PobegaFLC]

G'day boys, pobega here... how did u find out the team? We havnt heard **** yet ( vic boys )?

[Warriors26]

with the christmas mail being sent around some have made it some havent expect them before the new year i havent got my brendan twiggs past the news on to me

[12345]

Just for the record, I received the letter today and actually did make the team...

[PobegaFLC]

Who wrote that side up? is that the actual side or just a guess? Is the side written on the letters, some1 post the actual side for the vic players, no1 here has heard ****..

[cannon]

[Warriors26]

Just for the record, I received the letter today and actually did make the team...


You did i got sent that team list from twiggsy and my point was that i had you as sixth defender and some douch had a go at my GUESS of a team.wasnt saying your **** As for no josh i am not sure of the team now, Brendan twiggs told me the team i last posted and now i hear that Benny Tippet is in i am confused with myself still not recieving my letter. But that makes 7 poles if ben is in

[PobegaFLC]

Ok so nobody knows the actual side ? they have all just been Guesses? or wat..i think the letters will come tomorrow, they wer posted on friday

[merlin]

Look at http://u21.lacrosse.net.au/teams.htm

[morelax]

does everyone think that is the best team AUS has to offer

[Warriors26]

does everyone think that is the best team AUS has to offer
No way but its not a world championship so you wont get the best players, None the less still a very strong team

[morelax]

thats not true the best players should still be there. There are a few to many players in there who will need to be carried

[cannon]

morelax development teams are always going to have a few guys who get 'carried' bu that is the point of development teams in part. the blokes that are getting carried might realise their potential with the exposure to players better than them and bring them up a level.

i only know a handful of guys on that team but it seems pretty solid to me. good luck to them all.

[morelax]

fair point hope they do well

[PobegaFLC]

Anybody got any idea of what other Teams will be competing at this years ASPACS?
looks like NZ will b competing sences its being played in NZ...

Well seeing you couldn't make the camp the teams look like Japan Korea Hong Kong Hawaii new zealand and a few others i think contact Trevor Stevens for more details

[absent lax]

Is the aussie dingoes really the best name the team could come up with? i know its a better name than the kangas but do we really wanna look back in a year or so and say.... dingoes, what were we thinking.......

if anyone has any suggestions serious or comical i'd like to hear them.

good work by the team against the 19s with a bit more time with sticks in hands im sure it'll come together well for NZ.

[lax.com.au]

i didnt have any objections playing under the name of 'kangas' in 2005.

im sure there will be plenty of 'dingo got ya baby' comments to come.....

[12345]

I still reckon the "Drop Bears" was a winner...

[absent lax]

yeah drop bears goes alright. i was down for bilbys or platypies or something. i don't see why it has to be an aussie animal. coulda gone with the australian assault or something.
assault kinda fits in with the whole aussies as convicts thing aswell.

[cannon]

aussie assaults...nah that name is taken by the Cronulla Lacrosse Team! :OMG:

[Warriors26]

Preliminary logo that i have designed so far only played with it a little today needs some more work.
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k279/wicko26/Untitled-1.jpg

[cannon]

there should be a baby in the head of the stick....is that wrong?

[Warriors26]

i think so. but i was tempted? any comments of improvement

[absent lax]

i like the dingoe and the text but the lacrosse stick needs a little refineing. he could do with a slightly beefier arm aswell haha.
nah its a good one.
what are all the stickers for the helmets like? will the back stickers be dingoes or australia?
with the gloves we are getting their wont be any aussie stuff on them at all. bit of a shame.

[smack16]

not bad whitty!
constructive critisism is that his neck looks like quasymodo the hunchback from notre dame! sligtly lessen the neck, bigger arms and some sligth refining of the stick simply throwing strings with only four strings (traditional pocket! defs a big fan of the aussie flag in there somehere!
scotty mac

[fairy]

[Warriors26]
