Richmond and the Giants, last year’s Grand Final combatants, feature most prominently, with six players from each team to feature across the Vics and All-Stars.

Nine of the top 10 from last year’s Brownlow Medal count will take to the field, including the winner Nat Fyfe (All-Stars).

Young Saint Jade Gresham is arguably the game’s bolter and will be the youngest Victorian out there. Overall, Swan and All-Star Callum Mills will be the youngest player on the field.

The midfield match-ups will be tantalising, with Brodie Grundy and Todd Goldstein to face-off in the ruck. Victoria will unleash Dustin Martin, Patrick Dangerfield and Marcus Bontempelli against the likes of Nat Fyfe, Patrick Cripps and Lachie Neale.

Reigning Coleman Medallist Jeremy Cameron will spearhead Victoria’s forward line, with Lion Harris Andrews likely to match up on him.

Four clubs have just one player represented in the squad: Patrick Cripps (Carlton), Adam Saad (Essendon), Lachie Weller (Gold Coast Suns) and Neville Jetta (Melbourne).
