Congrats to Oliver, Hunt, Petracca and Oscar for making the 40 man squad.

I think Trac has been a bit short changed being pitted against a bigger field of midfielders. He's kicked 24 goals this season compared to Curnow's 18, yet Curnow gets to compete against a much weaker field of forwards for selection.

Don't forget to vote :)

    Not sure when the player needed to be under 22. Hunt is 22 and 4 months. 

    If that's the case does Jesse hogan makes it to this list? 22 and 6 months. 

    Brayshaw should also be there. 21 and 7 months. 

    We should have 6 players out of 40. 15% where the average should be 2 players per side

    Wines is on the list!   22 and 10 months. clearly a well thought through list missing Hogan

    [cant believe he is only 22 still]

    Clarry, Hunt and Trac will easily make the 22

    Hope the presence of Oscar McDonald in the squad shuts a few people up around here. He is tracking beautifully given his age.

    He has been fantastic since Queens Birthday, hardly put a foot wrong.

    Youre right, Poita.

    Another preseason and a few kilos and hes going to be really good.  Lever will compliment him perfectly.

    Yeah I was a bit confused that Hogan wasn't on the list?? Would be first choice full forward for sure.

    Hogan and Brayshaw don't make the list because it's based on 2017 performance.

    And for those wondering about the age of the players the article makes quite clear that player must be 22 or under for the whole of the season, including finals. In other words, anyone who doesn't have their 23rd birthday until  Sunday 1 October is eligible for consideration.

    22Under23 isn't quite as catchy.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
