Was supposed to be announced at the JJ Liston, but has not appeared on the VFL website, or in the papers. Has anyone seen the selected side?
More proof that the VFL needs more coverage?
The VFL Team of the Year has been announced for 2004. The team was listed as follows:
B: Michael Ablett (Frankston), Matthew Egan (Geelong), Chris Obst (Port Melbourne)
HB: Sam Cranage (Williamstown), Ben Schwarze (Port Melbourne), Jordan Doering (Bendigo Bombers)
C: David Gallagher (Sandringham), Julian Field (VC) (North Ballarat), Ben Atkin (Tasmania)
HF: Steven Lawrence (Port Melbourne), Brent Tuckey (North Ballarat), James Byrne (Geelong)
F: David Mitchell (Werribee), Nick Sautner (Sandringham), Kristan Height (Box Hill Hawks)
R: Ryan O'Connor (Coburg Tigers), Brad Lloyd (C) (Williamstown), Adam Fisher (Sandringham)
Inter: Andrew Eccles (North Ballarat), Nathan Saunders (North Ballarat),
Nick Carter (Bendigo Bombers) Justin Plapp (Tasmania).
I thought of him as more a relief ruckman for Ben Marsh.
It's a poor reflection on the standard of ruck stocks on the VFL lists. But I can't think of anyone else who deserves the position.
