Names in that squad include NBL veterans Anthony Petrie, Oscar Forman, Peter Crawford, Tommy Greer, 3x3 Asia Cup bronze medallists Lucas Barker and Darcy Harding along with 2017 SEABL MVP Simon Conn.
For the women AFLW star Monique Conti joins Carley Mijovic, Amelia Todhunter, Nadeen Payne and former 3x3 Asia Cup Gold Medallists Chantella Pererra and Sarah McAppion among those putting their hand up for selection.
