So it is age 'under 22' from the start of the season/year I gather?

Obviously Lever would be in if not injured for mroe than half the season.

It is nice to think that from two very strong drafts (2014 and first round of 2015) we've managed to gather perhaps 4 of the top 5 players.

Also, that age category method means Fritsch still has next year, and you'd have to be pretty confident he'll get there.

Its just nice, y'know, just nice.

Clarry, He is a Gun footballer, Angus  and Petrac  they are not far behind. Congrats on making the under 22 side. The 3 Amigo's will be on display against the Cats next Friday and beyond.  Beware of the 3 Amigo's for the next  decade. They're out to get ya!

Scene: it's September (or near as dammit).

Instead of studying the likely early draft picks, you are getting fired up about finals tickets.

You are studying the AA team, alternately gloating, and groaning that MORE Demons were not recognized.

You are studying the 22under22, gloating/groaning.

You are wondering if Max will finish 1st or 2nd in the Brownlow.

You are feeling remarkably at peace with the world.

Now the question, true or false: ARE YOU DREAMING?

Anyone know the list of players that have made both All Australian and the under 22 team?

It must be a special achievement by our Clarry.

Botempelli, Josh Kelly and Zac Merrett would be my first guesses.

What's obvious from this year's team is how long it takes to develop as a ruckman.  Most of those picked are comfortably in their sides best 22.  Not to be disrespectful to Darcy, but he'd struggle to get a regular game at most teams.  Looks like Trac has to come off the bench to relieve in the ruck as well.

Presumably from the start of the AFL season. Patrick Cripps turned 23 on 18 March. I can only assume he missed out on age rather than for any other reason.

And what a world of pain St Kilda is in. At least Carlton, Brisbane and Freo have some young stars.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
