Does anyone know why Jensen Tremaine (Maori) is being listed in the 'World XVIII' and not, as one might have expected, in the 'South Pacific Nations'?

I would guess he's a member of the Australian Maori migrant community, rather than currently based in New Zealand.

We'll have some further details from the AFL once they make their official announcement of the teams in a few weeks.

Yeah I imagine he qualifies under the multicultural criteria that the World 18 have (i.e. allowed some players living in Australia but only recent arrivals etc) whereas the South Pacific squad is for players from and still living in those countries.

I thought Kurt Heatherley from New Zealand would be in the South Pacific squad. I think he was in the initial selection and a stand out, so I assume he was left out because of other commitments or perhaps not required to show his talents since he's already scholarship listed with Hawthorn. He's certainly still a player of interest to the Hawks, in Melbourne as their guest in the last week or so.
