The problem I have with the voting is I only know the 4 Melbourne players in Heath, Hanks, Zanker and McNamara. The opposition players I have no idea of.

I can't believe Zanker is only 22 - it feels as though she has been around for ages (same for Conti).

Good to see Heath getting recognition, she has become a really important player.

Hanks should be available as a midfielder, although she is guaranteed selection as a forward.

Lots of very good young talent selected.   Surely Alyssa Bannan's more mature recent performances must have had her in the selectors frame.  She's only 19, huge upside.    

Conti from Richmond has really good footwork and disposal, Charlie Rowbottom from GC is exciting and Blues Maddy Prespakis goes alright too (plus her sis at Geelong looks the goods). 

In Finals Week 1 watch out for Brisbane's Hodder, a real livewire up forward, the Pies young mid Mikala Cann, Freo's Dana East who impressed against us and Daria Bannister from North who can take a good mark and kicks well.  

Bannan next season for sure!

A lot of players who are pivotal to their teams in this list, especially midfielders in the expansion clubs, which says everything about the competition's direction.
