The 22 Under 22 team - the next generation

[Albert Parker]

^I'd be hopeful we can convince Lynch to come to the club he supported for a crack at success. I don't think we can afford to pay more than $1m a season for him given we are already close to paying our salary cap and Moore and De Goey will want an upgrade in pay to remain.

I think in order to have a crack at a flag that we have to convince some of our players to accept pay below what they may command in a free and open market. Just as Geelong and Hawthorn have done.

We probably can't pay Lynch $1.25m+ a season and retain our young talent and established stars like Pendles, Treloar, Sidebottom, Howe, Grundy etc

Updated to welcome back Dayne Beams and Jordan Roughhead as a squad member. That's 14 players of that calibre whom are the Core of our Best 22 for 2019+.

Congratulations to the 2018 squad nominees with all 3 making the final 22. Current and former inductees form a large part of the foundation to our current side ~

Updated to welcome back Dayne Beams and add Jordan Roughhead as a previous squad member.
That's 14 players of that calibre whom are the Core of our Best 22 for 2019+.
I view the recruiting of Roughhead will prove a material foundation for us consolidating a top 4 spot in 2019. Beams is cream.

Sier the heir aparent to make the squad / final AAU22 for 2019.

If we could find 2-3 more from Quaynor, Kelly, Brown x 2, Daicos x 2, Murphy, Appleby or Wills in the next 2 years, a high bar will be maintained in order to be included in our starting 22 from our U25 squad.
Next 5 years looking very promising.

This despite having the 2nd most experienced list in the competition, at 78.9 games. Hawthorn top this at 80.40. There's daylight to Adelaide at 3rd with 71.40. Gold Coast 18th at 50.20.

Looking forward to IQ & Tyler Brown being named in the team come end of 2021.

[PyreneesPie]

^ Yep, absoluted delighted for young Daics. He really added muscle over the last pre-season and I think that helped him enormously. Hope he can continue his upward trajectory

[Boogie Knights]

^^^ I think we're talking about Josh here, not brother Nick...

While the prediction of Nick rising to 20 under 22 status will prove correct, I don't know if that was the intent.

Nathan Murphy, Isaac Quaynor, Nick Daicos and Jack Ginnivan have been recognised among the best young talent in the league, with all four named in the AFLPA 22Under22 Squad of 40.

The final team will be decided,by fans, with voting on the 22Under22 site open from August 10 and closing on August 17.

Voted by fans is a worry. Will Ginnivan get a vote?

[MagpiesTheGreat]

wow, Nick will get U22, rising star, AA, premiership, norm Smith, Brownlow medal, and clubs b&f...

[Mr Miyagi]

Noble peace prize as well

[stui magpie]

plus AFLPA MVP, Order of Australia, Knighthood, Victoria Cross and a lifetime supply of maccas.

[Mr Miyagi]

I hope he’s not skipping leg day because he’s going to have a lot of medals around his neck!

[Jezza]

Ollie Henry very stiff to miss out.

I know he's been out of the side for the last few weeks, but he's still our 3rd equal highest goal kicker this season.

[Johnno75]

What a season by Nathan Murphy and what a turn around he has managed to achieve.

[lazzadesilva]

wow, Nick will get U22, rising star, AA, premiership, norm Smith, Brownlow medal, and clubs b&f...

And potentially still miss out on the under 22 team because Collingwood haters wouldn’t vote for him

[Rd10.1998_11.1#36]

Noble peace prize as well

Surely John will get that

Nick a monty for the Nobel though
