Maybe the Emus still have bad memories from last years Elimination Final @ Christies?
Reynella should be fresh and sharp after the training run they had on Sunday
Any news on coaching/player movement yet or is it too early still?

Can anyone explain to me how the Teams of the year work? Are these based on Umpires votes? i.e. the B&F from each grade will come from these teams named?

This year they have integrated the Sun U14 top vote getters with the U14 TOTY which is an acceptable concept. No problem with the Junior TOTYs because all the best junior players tend to play on ball and will be the ones who get the votes.
But the recently introduced A grade TOTY is massively disrespectful to the best CHB in the league by daylight Will Rivers. Captain of the SFL and Southern Dist and SA Country rep This year. But how a bloke who takes 15 to 20 marks each week, most contested, can still not make the top 21 in the voting is a sad indictment on the umpiring fraternity that is CSLFUP. Particularly when 2 blokes from a winless basket case have presumably polled more than 9 or 10 votes is astounding. Now we all know that a team that is getting flogged can get some soft sympathy frees from the umpires and we can live with that but if the umps have given sympathy votes in games when the winning team should get the 3-2-1 then they are making a mockery of the Mail Medal.
The A grade TOTY should be selected by a panel. Maybe give them the top 5 or 6 vote getters to ensure there are no embarrassing ommisions but lets have a proper TOTY which of course should also include at least a couple from the Wineflies.

DTH i agree whole heartedly with your post. How Will Rivers has not made the side is an effing joke. But like i said earlier the umpiring fraternity this year is a joke. A panel is a great idea and yes there will always be conjecture but currently as it stands no-one gives a shit about the Senior TOTY. I was very surprised to see the list which included only 2 Emus, 1 Bomber, 2 Falcons and 0 Wineflies. How.does this work.
