Souter, who coached the Blues to their first grand final since 1991 a year after his side won just five games, was also named on the half-forward flank.

He was one of three Tongala players picked in the side, with gun on-baller Cam Ilett named in the centre, as well as Coby McCarthy on the interchange.

Echuca United key forward Josh Mellington was rewarded for his 130-goal season by being named at full forward, while his teammate Farran Priest takes up position on the half-forward flank.

Moama stalwart Luke Dunham added another honour to his footballing career by being named at centre half-back.

On the netball court, Echuca United premiership coach Lisa Drysdale was named captain of the team of the year, despite being named on the interchange of the side.

Premiership teammate Tanner Edwards was named in goal attack, while Amelia Brock was also named on the interchange.

Moama co-coach Charlotte Long was named in centre, Ange Slattery was named as goal keeper, with Steph Watson named on the interchange to round out the representatives from the Mowers.
