Michael Hartley and Ozgur Uysal have both won selections in the 2015 Peter Jackson VFL Team of the Year. Hartley was named at centre half back whilst Uysal earned his place as rover.
Hartley, 22, enjoys his first selection in the team of the year following an outstanding season keeping the league’s best key forwards goalless including fantastic games against opponents Liam McBean and Tom Boyd that saw Hartley awarded with five votes in the JJ Liston Medal count from the matches against Footscray and Richmond.
Uysal, 23, further stamped his authority in 2015 and won back-to-back VFL team of the Year honours after another fantastic year breaking the lines in the centre square. Uysal’s second nomination in the squad has him now firmly etched amongst the elite of the competition.
Elsewhere on the night the Lions recorded 39 votes in the JJ Liston Medal count, which was won by North Ballarat’s Nick Rippon.
