Overwhelming – I just burst into tears once my name was called out and didn’t expect to have that sort of reaction – Jordyn Allen
It is a really an amazing feeling, but you feel nervous at the time. It is a lot of relief once you are up there, and really looking forward to playing for Melbourne – Tyla Hanks

All the hard work has paid off. It’s a dream come true. I’m a little emotional too, but it’s exciting times – Nikki Gore
Very surprised, that is for sure. I definitely didn’t expect it. I know there is a lot of heard work to come – as everyone says it is one thing to be drafted, but another to get games and have a good career – Eleanor Brown
It was really exciting, and probably something I didn’t expect (1st round) either, but when I heard my name read out, it was an unbelievable feeling and can’t wait to get started – Katie Lynch
