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.

    • Demonland changed the title to 2023 22Under22 Squad

    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

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
