Produced the greatest home and away season with the bat in the history of the BDCA with 906 runs before finishing with a final tally of 945 when adding in the one-day final and semi-final.
The opening batsman cracked three scores above 150, was again prolific with the ball in taking 31 wickets and whenever the BDCA vote count is held, Taylor is bound to become the first player in history to win the Cricketer of the Year for a fourth time.
Also added a fifth premiership medal.

Double duty for Hartley in this team - opening the batting and wicket-keeping.
He did a fine job of both for Golden Square, combining 20 dismissals with 548 runs.
Made six scores of 50-plus, but couldn't break through for his first BDCA century, despite coming close twice with a pair of dismissals in the nervous 90s for 96 against Strathdale-Maristians and 94 against Eaglehawk.

Had some back issues during the season, which forced him out of the Demons' attack for a couple of games, but it didn't hinder his batting.
Cracked 650 runs and averaged 50 on the knocker, with his highlight innings being his 150 against Bendigo in round six, while he later scored 160 of the Demons' combined 300 runs in their round 13 game against Huntly-North Epsom and semi-final against Strathdale-Maristians in what were a pair of lone hands.

Only the Suns' Taylor made more than Wijemanna's 689 runs for the season.
Passed 50 in six of his 14 innings and was at his best in rounds 11 and 12 with back-to-back scores of 177 against Bendigo (rescuing the Power from 3-10) and 112 against Golden Square.

Slotted in seamlessly to the Suns' top-order and churned out 541 runs in his first season at Bell Oval.
Best knock was his 110 against Bendigo United in round six when he was part of a 199-run second wicket partnership with Taylor.

Must have sore shoulders from carrying the Jets' batting this season.
Devanny's tally of 456 at an average of 45.0 was a quarter of the Jets' runs for the season and again was the only Strathfieldsaye player to score a century with his brilliant unbeaten 140 against Sandhurst at the QEO in round six.
Devanny remains the only player over the past seven seasons to have made a first XI century for the Jets, with eight through that time.
As well as his batting, was also very tidy with the ball - 19 wickets and an economy rate of just 1.86 from his 140 overs.

Opened the batting for the Demons and compiled 378 runs, including a maiden century with his unbeaten 119 against Bendigo United in round five.
But it's more so his bowling that has earned Irwin a berth in this team, hence coming in at No.7.
Helping seal the deal of Irwin's selection was his 6-45 against Strathdale-Maristians in their semi-final, which took his tally to 33 wickets for the season.
Was a workhorse with the ball - his 221 overs was the equal most of any player for the season alongside team-mate Linc Jacobs.

One of only five players to average at least 50 for the season and played some explosive middle-order innings, with his 81 off 43 against Bendigo with eight sixes in round nine immediately springing to mind.
Best all-round game was his double of 55 and 6-42 against Huntly-North Epsom.

Its ninth-placed finish was certainly a disappointing result for Sandhurst, but skipper Beard was among the competition's best performers with the ball.
Bagged 33 wickets, including three hauls of at least five, with his most inspirational performance being his 6-6 against White Hills in round nine when the Dragons almost defended a score of 67.

The left arm off-spinner became the first Strathfieldsaye player since Terry Scullie in 1998-99 to top the BDCA's bowling aggregate for the home and away season.
The Sri Lankan bagged 35 wickets and did so while also proving mighty tough to score off, with his 182 overs costing 368 runs - an economy rate of just 2.02.

A brilliant first season for the Power that ended with 40 wickets in total (home and away, one-day final and semi-final).
The left-armer's four five-wicket bags were the most of any player in the competition and he saved his two best performances for last - 7-21 against White Hills in round 13, followed by 6-21 against Strathfieldsaye in their semi-final when he took the first six scalps.
