Maybe Surman - the kid has been phenomenal.

Sucks that there is no Rufer but it was unlikely with previous selections and the need to add in Sydney players.
A real shame they had to select the bulk of this team prior to the semi-finals... Rufer, Surman, Kostal all terribly unlucky and if you picked a squad today they'd all be there. I guess the Aussies don't want TOO many kiwis in the A-League All Stars.
I would hope Rufer is considered - IMO our most influential player (also a favourite)

Angus Thurgare was pants this year. Normally a fan, but he had a poor year. Rufer well ahead of him.

...it was the comment, under the article, about Newcastle travelling that caught my eye.

Penha withdrew cuz he has gone back to Brazil for personal reasons.
Surprised no Davila at this stage.

Apparently Brattan has been playing with a broken foot, maybe there is a chance of Rufer getting a late selection?
A lot more reason to watch the All-Stars game now with those additions. What a fantastic time to shine for Paulsen & Old though. Reward for an excellent season. Great reward for all of them though to be fair.
After the season we've had, we're unlucky not to have 1-2 more in that list. Like someone else said - can't be having too many Kiwi's eh?

Gutted that Rufer wasn't included, but not surprised. I feel a lot of what he does doesn't get the recognition from those outside the club and fan base unfortunately.
Still, it's good to see we got 5 players, enough to get me tune in to the match
