We’ve found a late inclusion to the South Australian Ultimate Wool Team. See what you think of this evidence.

Ultimate Wool Team – South Australia: Getting close to finalising the SA team
August 6, 2015 by 11 Comments
In the mid-North of South Australia, a few very keen wool blokes have been getting together at local footy matches and have had a real crack at picking the South Australian Wool Team. (They’ve actually picked two teams – they need a coach and a manager for the seconds.) See what you think, and argue he case for a player from the Twos or a new nomination. [The South Aussie side is pretty well settled – Ed]
Ultimate Wool Team – Victoria: Brian ‘Moo’ Muir

Brian Muir was a wool classer, analyst and later a manager at Dalgety’s. He played at St Kilda, coached the Under 19s and has been a club stalwart for over half a century. He spoke to JTH yesterday. [A worthy nom for the Vic side – Ed]
Ultimate Wool Team: Western Australia

Here’s the WA team based on nominations that have come in this season, and earlier. Please argue for changes (as the South Australians have been doing). And add any further nominations. There’s quite a few nominations of footballers who MAY have an association with wool. If you can shed any light on these please do by adding a comment.
Pretty good side I’d have to say!

A provisional Victorian wool team has been chosen. Thoughts? Make your case for someone who has been left out. New noms also welcome. [A lot of Geelong blokes – Ed]

How does this compare with the Riverina team picked so far? Rod Rocket Gillett, the boy from Rochy, has added a few names and gives some excellent detail about the players. [Thanks Rocket – JTH]
