Quite simple really the complete Petone squad because they are a class above anything else in that league...The rest are has beans.... And I hear Petone have just made 3 rather class signings.
So they well be guaranteed winning the play offs now..

Petone put on a good show at their clubrooms on Saturday night as well. They seem solid ON and OFF the pitch.

OK so I know who but will they be playing?

Jake Gleeson from Wests also.

Petone have been streaks ahead of the rest as a team but if you were to have a champs premier selection team (which we are!) then in certian positions they dont have the best player in the league.
 
For example Goal Keepers would be:
Lance Remarkers and that idiot Jameison from wairarapa I hate to admit is one of the better Keepers in this league.

I beleive the names were mentioned earlier (in another thread) but not sure if they will actually play due to the new regulations of only playing in 2 teams in the year. Two could possibly be invloved in the 'nix and possibly TW for all three. Toffeeman2007-07-09 13:31:32

Lance Ramakers from Tawa is a definite for GK - easily the best in the league.  The kid Pickering from Petone.  Darren Johnson from Wharfies.

I think that Upper Hutt goalie is not to bad either. He does hell of alot of work for them. He dont get much help from his defence. Think his name is Dave Emmens

Michael Greene from Waterside has to be considered, as does Sam Buckle from Brooklyn.
 
For both of them to still be playing at their age is a hell of an achievement.

I'm a little bit shy, and I wanted to first of all test the idea, see if there was any interest? If there is, I'd be quite excited about starting my very own string.
 
So, what is the general opinion? Is there merit in me starting a NEW string that asks:
 
Who are the old players in the Champs Premier League who aren't good enough to make the first oldies squad, but are not so bad you would select them in the third oldies squad (ie they would be good enough for the second oldies squad).
 
Just to clarify - a squad equals 14 players (not including managers, but i would be interested in the second best old physio in the League).

How about a Champs Premier Golden Oldies (over 35) team. There are a few contenders Im sure. Other wise back to the main point. You'd be hard pressed to drop any of the Petone players for a Prem XI. Maybe just strenthen the squad with the like of a reserve keeper, and another striking option. Some of the Wairarapa imports may push hard and there must be some good players at Warfies.

In terms of the youngies, Gleeson in goal has to be tops - who got time on his side, offers quite a bit - height, courage and great anticipation. Its gotta say something when Wests against talley is 2nd only to Petone and thats considering Wests are mid field in Prem League - gotta say something! Blair Maclean in midfield has shown patches too. Pickers at Petone also has to be a standout as well - that kid has come on well - should be playing central league (maybe that will happen with Petone for next year) - watch for him at Team Wellington. Admir at Lower Hutt has been more agressive this year - maybe a point to prove?

The Petone keeper is average. Troy Burling from Upper Hutt could make it as the same for there two new signings of Wayne and Matt Bennett. Dave Lane as captain

Interesting call on Bennet and Rooker considering theyve only played a couple of games, but they are definitely quality. Burling also playing well.

Also Jono Sole from Wharfies should be at right back, quick as anything and having a blinder of a season.

these players would be up there for selection in my mind!! have gone with quite alot of youth for future. tawa keeper or jamieson (wairarapa) goalkeepers, also young james from lower hutt - defenders n.barclay & lane (petone), fijian centre back,scott jnr (lower hutt) , stu neal (kapiti) also fraser colson and luke wilson as younsters! midfielders - shugg (tawa), Czech lad (wairarapa) rowan (petone), wharfies centre mid, roddy brown (wests), african guy (lower hutt), ben (petone) rich mclay (petone), simon millynn (lower hutt), besims younger brother (lower hutt)
strikers - woody (tawa), whitmarsh (petone), peter rabo ( best player in league)(wairarapa), marco (wests), troy (upper hutt)

To qualify should have played at least 6 games... so no Rooker, Bennet or Roy Clarke.
 
Gleeson by far best keeper. Will star at the World Cup... like Spoonley he will be a busy boy.

I've just conservatively added together the ages of that team.  I get 404 (not including Merrick).  Superb!

Miramar Rangers started against Wests this season with a midfield with the total age of 100. 
 
And they only had 3 players in midfield

So at this point it looks like Lance Ramaekers is the number one keepers choice despite being a garden gnome!!!
Gleeson and Jamieson fighting it out for a RGK jersey!!!
 
Moving onto Centre backs...
Im definitely selecting the Wairarapa Central defender (Fijian)
Hes quality

Centre backs would have to be Lane and N. Barkley from Petone. Both 6 foot plus, neither short on pace, solid in the air, good in the tackle, read the game well and fearless. They can both score goals too.

yet again Jiz is shooting from the hip without really thinkin what he's saying! the funniest thing is that I started playing in the Premier League 7 years ago....u wudve been like....9?? 10 maybe??

Karori do have some very good players in their ranks. Johnno Sole would probably walk into any Central League side, but he prefers to play at Wharfies so good on him. James Potter is another with talent to burn as well as Peewee. If it was me picking the side, those 3 would start every game without a doubt.

Still got love for the Wharfies boys!
