THE NEXT group of young talent has been welcomed into the NAB AFL Women's competition, headed by Sydney's newly crowned No.1 pick Montana Ham. 

The tall midfielder sent shockwaves through the competition last week when she nominated for the New South Wales draft pool, not her native Victoria.

In one of the night's greatest moments, Zoe Wakfer - who was at the official draft function to support sister Lauren, who was drafted by West Coast with pick No.15 - was also taken by the Eagles with pick No.36. She wasn't even wearing a club polo, such was her lack of expectation on the night.
