The sister of West Coast's Jaide continues to be around the mark in terms of draft possibilities and certainly did her chances no harm with an ultra-consistent season. Moving from Peel Thunder to Perth over the off-season where her sister is a line coach, Britton produced a memorable year alongside co-captain Isabella Shannon. While losing none of her natural ability, Britton upped her numbers across the board to become one of the most consistent midfielders going around.
An inside midfielder by trade, Britton had been playing as a wing for the Thunder, but returned inside this season and had the eighth most disposals in the competition, averaging 20.9 per game. Her kicking and footy IQ will always be there, and whether by hand or foot, she just makes things happen. Adding leadership and consistency to her profile only further helps her case.
The knocks on Britton are still her speed and endurance, with the latter improving, but it all comes back to the advantages of having a player who can be damaging with ball in hand or an athlete. Certainly from a game understanding standpoint is right up there with the best.
