IN HER yearly column for womens.afl, Sarah Black has named two Blues in her first batch of players named in the top 30 players across the competition.
No.29 BREANN MOODY (Carlton)
Previous rankings: N/A
The 2021 All-Australian ruck had a breakout season, her fifth at the top level.
Moody's ability to cover the ground and find plenty of the footy holds her in good stead, as well as her work around stoppages and in the middle.
In 2021, she averaged 18.9 hitouts, 11.8 disposals and 241.6m gained, as well as 4.1 intercept possessions.
No.26 DARCY VESCIO (Carlton)
Previous rankings: N/A
Vescio was back to her best in 2021, taking out the AFLW's leading goalkicker award with 16 in the home and away season.
A mid-sized forward who is strong both in the air and at ground level, Vescio's foot skills have also been key in setting up teammates inside 50.
She averaged 9.1 disposals at 72 per cent efficiency in 2021, along with 6.0 contested possessions and 4.4 score involvements.
