The other thing you need to take into account is that scoring goals in the Handy Prem (or the previous incarnations) isn't an automatic sign of quality (or sign that the player in question may be ready for the A-league). The level of defending varies, let's say considerably, across the different teams. 

You're being too kind. I know coaches tend to err on experience for centre backs, but where are our good young defenders? Who were they for the top Youth teams last year - Canterbury and ACFC?

For Canterbury Utd youth, Jordan Spain has been progessing nicely this year and was a first choice fullback for NZ at the recent OFC u-20 World Cup qualifiers. Didn't make the senior Dragons team last summer but has been playing really well for Cashmere Tech this winter and has been named in the Dragons preliminary senior squad for  this summer.

Another promising Canterbury Utd youth fullback is Sebastian Schact, a German immigrant kid who came here with his parents a few years ago from Hamburg and made a few appearances for the Dragons senior team last summer..
