Hillside and Burnside Springs stars are among those named in the two Essendon District Football League division 1 teams of years
The league last released the team of the year for the men’s and women’s seasons, with the captain and coach to be named at the league’s best and fairest awards night on September 29.
In the men’s team, Hillside forward Bailey Ryan was named on a half forward flank, despite missing several games due to Victorian Football League commitments, while Mitchell Hearne was named on the bench and Lachlan Pettigrove in the back line.
It’s the second time Ryan has been named in the team of the year, after being named in the 2021 team when he had a breakout season.
In the women’s division 1 team of the year, four Burnside Springs players had the 24 player squad.
Ebony Stevens was named at half back, while Kayla Ravanello was named on a half forward flank.
Krissy Trang was named as a rover and Holly McGregor was named on the bench. Trang was last season named in the premier division team of the year, and has been named a number of times in teams of the year previously.
Ravenello and Steven had previously been named in teams of the year before as well.
