Footy Budget Team of the year shock omissions...

[LaughingKookaburra]

If you are never mentioned on these forums you are behind the 8-ball already. Some very good players miss out and sometimes a lot of overated players gain recognition with peoples posts. Can't say I heard of sheppard much, maybe he goes under the radar compared to Boxer. Div 6 is a great example. Trinity were 2 goals from a grand final and had 2 reps in the team of the year, Ingle Farm got relegated and also had 2 reps.... Don't get defensive some people, i'm not fussed. It's just funny how not many Trinity people got recognised because they had no consistant members posting on here.

I think you're drawing a long bow, LK. Trinity's two best players were represented. Hard to find room in that side for the likes of the Zorich lads or Scotty Matthews. Even fellas like Barraclough and Siciliano are probably pipped at the post by the likes of other small forwards of Birch's (WC) ilk.

Maybe West Croydon and Lockleys were one or two players over-represented, but then again they were the two best sides for the year.

I don't reckon there is anyone in that team who is undeserving of their spot and all teams are represented.

Div 1. Scott Leal in the forward pocket? Doesnt Scott play Half Back?

Played back pocket nearly all year.

Very strange decision to name scott in the forward pocket.
Can think of a few unlucky genuine forwards who actually missed out.

[scrappy1]

It might sound biast but in Div 3 Valor Thach
Missed first 3 games and came r/u in the association medal by 1 vote.
Having played with both Corey Pressler and Thachy, i know who i'd have in my team and it certainly isnt Corey

Totally agree BR, would easily have Thach in my starting 18.
Very unlucky not to be selected

agree..just because you do or dont get mentioned on here means nothing..and shep is a good player LK..your memory is fading..

[LaughingKookaburra]

haha I knew you would bite Q. Just quietly I reckon there was a spot for Wilson on a HFF good job on the side, just thought i'd stir during my lunch break.

Probably right with the memory Zed. Might have lost a couple of brain cells because of excessive drinking after celebrating. Better be careful I wouldn't have many left, had f--k all to start with

was going to say it would be self inflicted loss of memory

wilson got a gig on the bench in my team but i didnt have delawyer in..6 of one half a dozen of the other..CLG and KFC only had 2 players in as well fwiw

How does pressler standing out in a s**t team that wins 1 game, as oppposed to Thach standing out in a average team that wins 7 games make any difference to the selection criteria?
Pick the best available players from the performances they display on the field which alter the result.

i know what your saying but thatch came 3rd in his club B&F so couldnt have been that big a stand out, if the teams were picked before the medal who was to know were he was going to come, and if there is only 1 person who you think should of made in and 1 that shouldnt have, well dont to the selectors.

i personally think, cocchiaro, thatch, degabriel, tomich, romeo and many more were probably stiff but there is only 22 spots and i cant argue with many if any that are in the side.

Valor should have def been in, ahead of most anyway 3rd time lucky for him next year in the count anyway, he will be top 3 but our count is this friday so could win it yet but safe money is on the big flynn.

hmm i thought it was quoted on another thread that your count had already taken place and flyn-sinodinos won with you being the runner up and thatchy coming third, and on the argument about placeings in the medal, presler came 4th in a side that won 1 game. should put it on the D3 thread see what everyone thinks who deserved to be in there out of the 2 of them its a big toss up and im not sure who deserved the spot, but IMO the side looks pretty bloody good to me

na mate this friday that was just peoples predictions prob way off too. thats my personal view i have played with both and im quite confident who would get the knod in most sides, the count is way off with some players im sure you rate flynn yet he has 11 votes in 3years from the umps.

thats fair enough, Flynn is the most valuable player in div 3 IMO.

I will stick by the Div 4 selectors re Todd....was not in the best 4 or 5 mids simple...won the medal I understand but the mids in there are very very good aswell

Was THE BEST PLAYER in Div 4 let alone in the best 4 or 5 mids according to certain people. He was better over the year than any other player..... Who selected the side ??

whilst not seeing todd play this year winning the medal doesnt always mean you are the best player in that div.

and in no way am i sh!t canning him in anyway yes he defaintly is a fantastic player im just making the point that winning the medal doesnt mean you are the best player in the div and having spoke to players from div4 it was a shock he won it let alone by that margin but as i said havnt seen him this year so cant really comment but i can comment on that thing he had on his head at the medal count my god!

I think Judd winning last night is another good example, I wouldn't have had him in my All-Australian Team, but the umps thought he was the best player over the season.

Our R/U B&F didn't make the side either, but to be fair, I think the ones that got picked, and probably a couple of others that didn't (Chettle, Paradiso, Goldmsith) probably had better years.

I'm not knocking Shep at all, because I know he can play, but there was plenty of quality that missed out.

Thachy is a gun, no doubt, but how many games did he actually play this year ? Didnt he spend nearly half the year at Salisbury North ? Im sure he cleared back to PH just before the cut-off, so that would make it 10 games, maybe 11 ???

Where did Presler finish in Kilburns B and F?
I thought i saw a post a while back and i dont think he won their B and f either?

The reverse of that happened in Div 1. - Brett Prior made the Team of the Year and was also selected in the assoc side mid year. He absolutely blitzed his teammates to win his Club's B&F yet he did not poll one single vote in the Div 1 B&F count - a tad different

It might sound biast but in Div 3 Valor Thach

good to hear the para hills bias is still going strong, if pressler was still at para hills he would have thoroughly deserved his spot in the team. Maybe the selectors wanted an in and under player in the team and not an outside runner that doesn't slow down to kick the ball...

reckon he was runner up from memory, missed about 4-5 games while overseas too.
