Reading Brent Harvey's comments about Curnow and Cripps being the best U23 in the comp, I think Boomer should have a look at Melbournes U23 side( Cripps is 23 so it is 23 and under)

JKH  Hogan  Spargo

Fritsch  Weiderman ANB

Stretch Brayshaw Salem

Hunt  Lever Baker

Smith O Mac Petty

King Petracca Oliver

McKenna Balic Johnstone Filipovic

 

Pretty handy bunch with Hogan, Petracca, Oliver, Lever, Hunt with All Australian honours written all over them and I reckon Brayshaw and Salem have the ability as well

    I saw this on Twitter. Surely you would take Hogan, Oliver and Trac over Curnow! The kids had one great game.

    Some people make stupid statements in the face of facts so we must feel sorry for Harvey's comments, he did not look wide enough in his sample ... Go Dees!

    You can add Viney to that list (still 23).

    So my Under 23 side would be:

    B:   Hunt        Lever        Smith

    HB: Baker       O Mac      Salem

    C:    Stretch     Oliver       ANB

    HF:   Petracca   Hogan    Fritsch

    F:      Spargo      Weid       JKH

    R:     King      Brayshaw     Viney

    Int: Balic    Johnstone   Wagner  Petty    

    I have highlighted the players from this list that are currently in the best 22 (11). So a team thea is expected to play finals this year, currently has half it's team made up o players 23 and under.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
