From the article: 

"The full list of club representation is: Box Hill Hawks (three), Carlton (five), Casey Demons (one), Collingwood (four), Darebin (three), Essendon (two), Geelong Cats (two), North Melbourne Werribee (six), Port Melbourne (three), Sandringham (two), Tasmania (two), Western Bulldogs (four) and Williamstown (five)."

Box Hill: Annabelle Embelton, Kayley Kavanagh, Ella Stoddart

Carlton: Lucy Burke, Octavia Di Donato, Nell Morris-Dalton, Elle Sbeghen, Hannah Scott

Casey: Meg Macdonald

Collingwood: Dom Carbone, Stella Huxtable, Amelia Peck, Jemma Ramsdale

Darebin: Caitlin Bunker, Bella Daddo, Kasey Lennox

Essendon: Lily Batemen, El Chaston

Geelong: Annie Lee, Lucy Marescuk

North Melbourne Werribee: Alana Barba, Maddie Di Cosmo, Nyakoat Dojiok, Mikayla Hyde, Ava Seton, Renee Tierney

Port Melbourne: Mia Caffry, Georgia Foran, Courtney Jones

Sandringham: Zoe Barbakos, Ava Bibby

Tasmania: Ava Read, Grace White

Western Bulldogs: Ellie Bishop, Jorja Livingstone, Sarah Sansonetti, Jemima Wrigley

Williamstown: Laura Blue, Emily Eaves, Naomi Ferres, Georgia Howes, Mia Zielinski

Definitely a strong squad. Guessing Elle Sbeghen is a lock for the ruck position as she leads the comp in hitouts. Mia Zielinski also sure of a spot as the leading goalkicker. Dom Carbone makes a huge difference to Collingwood's VFLW side and seems a lock as well. Having mainly watched Port Melbourne not sure who else they'll pick - not to sound overly biased but I expect to see Mia Caffry in the team also. Tipping her for our best and fairest.
