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

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
