Just announced this morning, Kysaiah Pickett, Jake Bowey, Jacob van Rooyen and Trent Rivers were all named in the extended list of 44 for the AFLPA U/22 Squad. All these young men worthy nominations for the 2023 AFLPA U/22 Team. May their terrific contributions to the Mighty Demons continue deep into the season.

    My mate who supports the Swans kept telling me last year how young their list was but in comparison to ours…..

    And we have a great draft hand this year.

    pushing for a flag while having such talented youngsters in the ranks. We're in great shape for the present and future.

    had a crack at it, 

    Bowey probably isnt in the side Hayden Young instead but makes it as a dee

    and i probably should have gone JHF over rowell but mates rates.

    weightman also was a bit of a lottery for the last forward spot, thought about Logan McDonald or OHenry but went against it.

    Nic Martin the stiffest but my god that centre is strong

    You forget how young these guys are sometimes ... of our 4 (McVee unlucky not to be the 5th) only JVR seems young

    But the other 3 are all still very young yet are all premiership players

    As @BDA mentioned above, with our draft hand this season, we've got plenty of young talent either established or coming through

    The future is bright

    It's unfortunate but don't forget how overlooked McVee was for a RS nomination. He plays a non glamourous role and competes week in, week out.

    He'd need Nick Daicos possession levels to get a look in for something like this.

    McVee stiff but that is an unreal crop of backman. Milera my favourite non-dee of the bunch. Super fun to watch.

    Its a strong HB line. 

    Daicos deserves the merits but Hayden Young hasn't had his best year. Sheezel has been a stand out, but is that more because he is playing in a team of duds? 

    Rivers has been a standout in a team of stars... that has to say something to the selectors.

    Bailey Smith is a joke! 🤣

    It’s just a popularity contest 

    He has more Instagram followers.

    Trent Rivers needs to get his jumper ripped off in a match. That will boost his popularity. 🤣

    Selectors are the public voters online , the team is just for clicks

    Rivers 100% deserves to be in that team.

    Might not be the worst for him to go unnoticed or underrated hopefully it can motivate him even more.

    reckon he would be top 6 in our B&F

    Agree. My count is maybe 15 of this team will be watching from the stands as Riv carves it up in the finals.

    He had a good grand final in 21. He'll have  great final series in 2023

    Really not sure what the point of the team is.  It’s a public vote, so isn’t a real reflection of a players ability….

    Surely the AFL Players Association can put together something a little bit more meaningful.

    17/22

    and when you take out the melbourne bias for 3 (however i definitely would have rivers in) we'll call it 20 which is pretty decent by me

    I take back any criticism I may have had towards Kozzie. He's still developing.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
