AFL Players’ Association’s AFLW 22Under22 squad has been announced with a host of Brisbane Lions and Gold Coast SUNS players on the list.
To be eligible for selection, players must be aged 22 years or under for the entirety of the season, including the finals series.
AFL Players’ Association Board member, Leah Kaslar, said the concept is great recognition for the competition’s emerging talent.
“Congratulations to the players who made this year’s 40-person AFLW 22Under22 squad,” Kaslar said.
“There are so many talented young individuals who are already having a serious impact on the competition, which is clear given the standard is going from strength to strength each season.”
“Having seen these players first-hand on the field, it’s easy to see that the future is bright.”
22Under22 is the industry’s only recognised fan-voted award and provides the footy public with the power to select the final 22.
Fans can now visit 22under22.com.au to cast their vote, before the final team is revealed on April 20. The fan whose team best resembles the final 22Under22 side will win a custom 22Under22 jumper and a Jagger watch.
Voting closes midnight April 14, 2021.
