主题: Canada Senior NT Discussion

Midfield


CM) Alexandro Merola (3/6,1340,49) will have a role in our ICC run. Josh Bonner (4/6,1218,106) won't. Dillon Carroll (4/6,1315,30) and Duncan McKenzie (5/6,1291,28) can't join the team until next season. We haven't had depth at centre half in forever, but it's on it's way with McKenzie and Carroll.

My view: Keep the two we have for this season, then add one or both juniors in season 12.

SM) Both Vance Grondin (3/6,1254,117) and[soccer_player=id] (2/6,1220,97) possess a lot of experience but find themselves near the bottom in OR. Vicente Dawdy (5/6,1288,50) is an easy choice to join the team. U20Johathan Gwinnett (5/6,1278,36) will be added next season.

My view: Ardley retires from the NT with fellow originals Izzet, Hallinan, Hustwick, and Gregoire. Grondin and his 117 exp, keeps a spot warm for Gwinnett.

Connor Duncan please

The choices at forward present the toughest decisions. Along with Rob Frenette , I'm keeping two aging but useful players inBrody Kenny and Wesley Howard for the next two season.

Jair James (CF,21,4/6,1307,35), Nathan Jobson (CF,21,4/6,1279,20), Bobby Holmes (SF,21,5/6,1291,39) and Garry Kidd (SF,22,5/6,1271,63) all deserve National Team recognition. We also have 19 year CF sensation Hudson Young on his way in two seasons.

My view: These are all very good players. I will likely go with the two side forwards with 5/6 CL. Jobson, James and Young will be battling for spots with Howard and Kenny in the future.

Once again, I welcome your thoughts on all of the roster decisions. There may be a few players that I missed, I hope to know of any ASAP. All our cuts must be made by Sunday, we can add players throughout the year

Why didn't we run with a full set of bench players today?

My bad. I changed the starting lineup early in the week and forgot to finish up the roster. Sorry about that.

[soccer_team=30211]will become inactive on Thursday. Be sure to snap up any players we don't want to lose before then.

Good weekend for Team Canada, we went 3 for 3 in NT friendlies!

I suspect next week Rob Frenette will crack the three-figure IGR threshold.

woot....

He went down to 92. Bad game???

Was he in a different position?

He's 99 for Canada, 92 for The Stingers. His energy for Canada is higher, resulting in the discrepancy.

With one to go we're back in first place. Unfortunate we have yet to officially clinch a spot in the ICC. Going to have to put some thought into the lineup & importance for the last game against Algeria.

I've seen the elections. Who will be running? Will TMO be condidate to its own succession?
