Young Guns squad announced

The squad for the young guns game ~ Young guns squad

The game has been played annually for a few years now to showcase players mainly from the VFL but also other leagues not in the TAC Cup system. One of last year's squad was Jayden Hunt who was subsequently drafted by Melbourne.

Good luck to Michael Randone a 197cm ruckman, one of my locals and I coach his younger brother, who is incidentally a top young player as well.

Only one Casey player, disappointing.

Tyrone Armitage Manly Warringah? Isn't that an NRL team?

[Left Field 313]

Manly Wolves (now Giants) have won the comp here each year since being elevated two years ago from the grade below.

They lost one game here this year and will win the comp again. Coach is a close mate, assistant coach is Brent Hutton. They have a great culture and pay nobody anything whereas all the other clubs do. Coincidentally, they added last year's Casey FF this year and he kicked heaps.

Tyrone was on Next AFL Superstar, but is probably a bit short to make it (a very good goal sneak/midfielder at this level).

Why is Shoenmaker and Suckling listed in this game.

Obviously they don't qualify for Box Hills so the arrogant Hawks think its Ok to take a spot of a young kid so they can get some match practice into two senior players. AFL Vic must have ticked it off and with the decision form them to let McEvoy play VFL finals when he hasn't qualified its not surprising.

Manly Warringah is a council area/district... the NRL team is better known as the Manly Sea Eagles and they represent the Manly Warringah part of Sydney. There are no doubt Manly Warringah soccer teams and AFL teams as well.

This is a very surprising move and I believe the wrong call. No real problems with these guys playing but why should Hawthorn be able to put these guys into a competitive game while the other clubs cant?? I'm sure North would love to play some guys on the fringe of selection as well especially any north ballarat players who haven't played for 3 weeks. It seems that Hawthorn has got it pretty good and has friends at AFL Victoria.

Tyrone Armitage Manly Warringah? Isn't that an NRL team?

I thought his name was actually Tyron Armitage Manly Warringah. Very disappointed to click through and find out the last bit is a team.

Lol, you reckon someone would actually name their kid "Manly"?

I suppose plenty of Americans call their kids "Dakota" or whatever. But Manly would be hilarious.
