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.

Or convince the AFL to introduce a concussion sub.

Harmes will end up better than half that list.
