              Gutted for Pitman, was really hoping she’d make the squad.

                    Overall, i like it… there are 1 or 2 players not on my list but that’s normal.

                    I’m gutted for Vicky O but she’s not performing at the level she was last year. The surprises for me are Liv Tchine, i would have given her another year in the development squad, Zara E and Ellie R i had them down as future roses but I can’t wait to see how they step-up, :mail:

                      Can understand why they haven’t taken Pitman, due to her lack of court time.
                      However every time she has taken to the court, she has completely dominated. She benched a Diamonds squad member (Parmenter), dominated Gabi Simpson.
                      Would have liked to have seen her matchup on Braz.

                      With Nat Metcalfe as their starting WA, Pitman could have been a great impact player.

                        Does anyone know when the Roses CWG team is due to be announced?

                          Would be interested to hear who would be in peoples’ Roses 12. FWIW this would be my team (though not the team that I think JT will go with)

                          GS Harten
                          GA Housby
                          WA Metcalf
                          C Clarke
                          WD Cobden
                          GD Guscoth
                          GK Mentor

                          S: Cardwell
                          S: Pitman
                          S: Malcolm
                          S: Fadoju
                          S: Francis-Bayman

                          TP: Drakeford-Lewis
                          TP: Allison
                          TP: Williams

                          Positional coverage:
                          GS Harten / Cardwell / Housby
                          GA Housby / Harten / Cardwell / Metcalf
                          WA Metcalf / Pitman / Malcolm
                          C Clarke / Malcolm / Cobden / Pitman
                          WD Cobden / Malcolm / Clarke / F-B / Fadoju / Guscoth
                          GD Guscoth / Fadoju / F-B / Malcolm
                          GK Mentor / F-B / Fadoju

                          Notable omissions
                          Fisher: The future of the England attacking end and her time will come – felt the attacking end is more versatile with SDL as TP in the event of illness or injury
                          Usuro-Brown: Eboni isn’t proven at GD in recent years and I don’t think there is room in the squad for two specialist GK
                          Panagarry: Unlucky to miss out – a credible C option going forward now that Serena has stepped down, but Allison *just* got the TP role in my squad due to flare and connections

                          Notable inclusions
                          Pitman: Though not in the full time programme, Pitman has proven she is in form when the SSN opportunities have arisen and the squad needs a strong 2nd credible WA option to take the load and pressure off Metcalf (neither Malcolm nor SDL offer that in my opinion) Metcalf has been playing well across GA this season for Thunder and is a credible 4th shooting option, which makes room for Pitman.
                          Cobden: State of the injury which left her out of the VNSL grand final unknown – hope she’s fully fit in time
                          Francis Bayman: A utility defender that offers grit and versatility in the defence end. She has been tested at international level at GK and I think she would provide solid cover there in pool matches

                            One of the club coaches told me a while ago it would be announced next Monday or Tuesday. It’s already been picked.
