Western Bulldogs have selected Isabel Huntington with the No.1 pick in the AFL Women’s draft.
A gifted utility who is coming off a knee reconstruction, Melbourne University product Huntington had been widely billed as the best all-round player in the draft pool.
Fremantle picked Swan Districts midfielder Stephanie Cain at No.2, while Collingwood selected Chloe Molloy with pick No.3.
Monique Conti – a WNBL player with the Melbourne Boomers – was taken by the Bulldogs at No.4.
Reigning premiers Adelaide took Jessica Allan at No.8.

Who pays these girls the cost of uprooting themselves if they go to a different State? What if they have to resign from their current jobs, do they get some type of wage from the new club? -- Comment from The Roar's iPhone app.
