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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
