All three footballers have had stellar years for their clubs in the top-end's premier footballing competition.
2019 Harrow-Balmoral best and fairest winner, Guthrie, has been a revelation for the Palmerston Magpies in the midfield since signing for the club ahead of the 2020-2021 season.
In his first year at the Pies, he was runner up in their Best and Fairest and has extended his form into the current season.
After 13 rounds of competition, Guthrie has played 11 matches and averages an impressive 21.5 disposals and five clearances per outing.
McQueen and Driscoll's impact for the Southern Districts Crocs has been similarly immense, in their first year with the club.
McQueen has been named in the side's best players on five occasions, while Driscoll has appeared six times.
Playing in a midfield-forward role McQueen has played eight matches after 13 rounds and averages a touch over 18 disposals per game, to go with his six goals for the season.
In that same time, Driscoll has played 11 games, averaging 14.1 disposals per game and has also kicked six goals.
MORE NEWS:
As previously mentioned both players hail from the Nhill Tigers where Driscoll spent the 2021 Victorian season playing.
McQueen spent the 2021 season playing for Eastpoint in the Ballarat Football League and has signed for the Wangaratta Rovers ahead of the 2022 Ovens and Murray Football Netball League season.
