More than half the Western Region Football League division 2 team of the year has come from the two grand finalists. Seven players came from minor premiers Point Cook Centrals. Centrals had a player on every line of the ground but one, while first year coach Dean Chambers was named coach of the year after an undefeated regular season. There were five Parkside players named in the team, led by Shaun Campbell, who was named captain of the team of the year. There were two players named from each of Wyndhamvale, Newport, North Footscray, Glen Orden and Albion. West Footscray, which didn’t win a game, was the only team not represented.
