Four players were voted in from the University of New South Wales Snapes on a Plane (UNSW), once again showing off their superb program. The Melbourne Manticores and the Perth Phoenixes also had strong showings with three players each, while the Newcastle Fireballs, Monash Muggles, Australian National University Owls (ANU), and the Wrackspurts all had two players make the cut. Finally, the University of Sydney Unspeakables, Blackburn Basilisks, and Western Sydney Quidditch Club Spartans (WSQC) got one representative apiece. Overall, there is a nice mix from a lot of strong teams around Australia.
