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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
