Footy Budget Team of the year shock omissions...

[scrappy1]

I just had a look at the TOTY and noticed that there were some players very very unlucky not to be selected and on the flip side guys who were lucky to be picked.
Just wondering which players from your division cant count themselves unlucky.

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

[Choccies]

Div 4 Association medallist Todd Sheppard from GG missed out.

[BIG_REDS]

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

yea for me could have gone either way with them two pressler obviously stood out more in the selectors eyes due to the fact there was very minimal players in his side getting the footy so he was a huge stand out,

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 ??

Choccies in the umpires eyes he was the " BEST " player. No way was he in your best 4 only my opinion

Had a better year than Boxer from our side..... there's one. I can't believe I need to argue why an Association Medallist can't make the team of the year for his division....

[flash]

If it was anyone that got shafted it would of had to have been Anthony Paradiso he deserves to be in there

Yeah he certainly played well against us every time.

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!

after all i just posted then reading this one hmmmm yeah i do see your point but again the team was probably picked before the medal count so yeah thats the way they seen it.

look at lenny hayes??????

I agree that just because he was adjudged the BEST player by the umpires that he shouldnt get an automatic start.
IMO he isnt one of the top 3-4 midfielders in Div 4, however should atleast have been named on the bench, because the guy can play.

Played back pocket nearly all year.

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.
