Cheers for that Sharky.
I wonder why the SAAFL never posted it on their website (Or am I blind???)

Would it be fair to say that the ROCS were one of the major underachievers for the year?
4 in the Team of the Year and no finals action for them?

Thought the Gullies and Salisbury North may have had one or two more players in there, but these lists always generate strong debate!

Nah didn't post it. Should have though. It is the AMATEUR league.

Might bring up the debate again, but only 5 Under 23's made it into the best 22. Not going to change anything by the sound of it, especially with Tasmania joining in next year.
I think the League needs to acknowledge the older players a bit more otherwise we will be seeing a lot more playing country for $$$$ knowing that they can't really achieve much else in Div 1.
