I'll tip Canberra to win, but I think it will be closer than that. Rain and cold weather is forecast, which could be a leveller.
Canberra by 21.

Seeing as it doesn't count to the overall stats, I'll keep the faith.

Swans Development match
Matt Carey (65), Sam Widmer (65), Aaron Crisfield (9), Damian Dell'Aquila (29) - Pennant Hills
Michael Sawyer (16), Chris Murphy (3), Dale Fitzgerald (3) - North Shore
Damian Bowles (29), Joel Curzon (179) - Balmain Dockers
Ben Haberley (74), Joel Robbie (54) - St George
Jeremy Kiel (136), Ed Kiel (74), Dane Rampe (0) - UNSW/ES

Joe Cunnington (39), Tim Lambert (100), Ed Carroll (0) - Western Suburbs
Paul Franchi (0), Will Overs (0) - RAMS
Only Livy and maybe Hudson in the senior team and Fitzgerald and Murphy in the development team.
Considering the selectors would have watched a majority of games and players before picking their teams, does this suggest that only Michael Hosking is fair dinkum with his selections of best players?

No
It suggests that your system is a waste of time.Comment

Does anyone know what the Canberra lineup is like?
Tipping blindly i'll have faith in Sydney and get us home by a couple of goals.Comment

Agreed. If we went by BMR's system we would have a rep team full of young 20-22 yr olds who all play on a half back flank or wing (high possession getters, likely to not have a tag or direct opponent, who are also likely to receive recognition from the coaching staff as encouragement in the 'bests' each week) with the occasionally senior player like Livy thrown in.
Mind you, there is reason to be suspicious that THIS IS how last yrs rep team was picked.
BTW I can't for the life of me understand why Dugmore wouldn't be a walk up start at Full Forward for the rep team?
Rooboy can you shed any light?Comment

The bloke seems to be unavailable every year for some reason. No doubt some are injured, some have personal reasons and some can't be bothered. I reckon the selectors have genuinely tried to pick the best team from those who've made themself available. I've been impressed with the presence of coach/selectors at club games.Comment

As a former coach and knowing our current coach the best players in the paper are not generally the best players on the day. The coach or team manager gets asked what he thinks were the best players immediately after the game and has to pick his best 6 on the spot. Sometimes those named could have had a good last quarter and are still fresh in the coaches mind. Sometimes a couple of young guys can be named to give them some encouragement. Other times the coach may not want to name who he thought was best to throw off the coach of the team for the upcoming game. And also they are named without much review of the game or without having time to look at the stats if they are taken. Sometimes a player may be named as best for doing a particular job that day yet in the spectators eyes it may have seemed the player didnt do much at all. All in all the best players named are not always the best players on the day.Comment

This is the only competition I've been involved in that the coaches or footy managers give the best players.
It is usually a timekeeper's job as he/she has the best view and has more time to look at that sort of thing."It's up to the rest of the players in the room to make a new batch of premiership players next year," Adam Goodes, triple Bob Skilton Medallist, October 7, 2011.
