22Under22 is a fan-voted concept that recognises the best 22 players aged 22 and under for the entirety of the season.
The concept was introduced in 2013 to reward the young players who make an impact on their club and the competition so early in their careers.
Those selected in the final team are presented with a custom 22Under22 hat at the MVP Awards night.
How it works
– The AFL Players’ Board selects a squad of 40 players
– Fans then have the opportunity to decide the final 22 by voting on the AFLPA website
– The fan whose team is the best match for the final team wins a prize
– Players selected in the final team are presented with 22Under22 jumper
