22 Under 22 - 2021 Edition

Thomas was well ahead of Rozee playing basically a similar role. As a mid-forward.

Bailey and Thomas should have been the wingman imo.

Most rankings systems have the top 3 of the u/22 age group - Walsh, Thomas, Bailey...
Thomas absolutely, noted that before. but that wasn't the comparison being made.

The criteria for 22 under 22 is actually "players must be aged 22 or under for the entire season (including finals)". So late birthdays like Brayshaw and Naughton would be eligible. Tom McCartin also is eligible.

From memory Bontempelli made the side 5 times due to being a late birthday also.

Zac bailey misses the cutoff by one day. Birthday the day before the grand final.

That was my laziness to be honest.. I just liked to get the discussion started. Went through footy wire and listed guys from each team with the age "21yrs x months"

Certainly changes ALOT getting guys who are 22 years and under. Naughton, Cerra, Butts, Petty, Spargo, Andrew Brayshaw, Quaynor, T.McCartin, Blakey, Balta, Stack all become eligible with that in mind.

Fair crack. Only Tigers I’d add to the list are Balta and Gibcus.
 
B: Chapman Balta Young
HB: Blakey McCartin McInerney
C: Smith Brayshaw Cerra
HF: Martin Naughton Butters
F: Weightman King Ginnivan
OB: Jackson Walsh (C) Green
IC: Anderson Bowey Gulden Serong

Tough side to name. Some super unlucky guys.
 
For the Hawks these are the guys to consider:
Day, Newcombe, Grainger-Barras.

Newcombe the only one I would have in the team at this stage, Day needs an uninterrupted run at it but if he can get going I'd back him to make it.

Tough indeed and a good side - you know it's strong when guys like JHF, Daicos and SDK (amongst others) can have the starts they have had and still not make it.

As a Hawthorn supporter, I would like to see Newcombe in there. Given it is based on 22 alone, I think he has out performed a couple - maybe just pick Serong as he is last named on the bench and has missed 25% of the season so far.

Still, good side and pretty much everyone these is deserving.

Yeah could easily slot Newcombe in there. Was debating him or Serong for that last spot bench. Great up and coming player.

Great side - I reckon Chapman is a must have - coaches votes in 3 games now and looking very impressive.

Some others are stiff (McCartin, McInerny, etc.) but they can't all fit.

McCartin may make AA Squad on form and walks into this squad as CHB or FB.
 
The only locks from Melbourne are Bowey and Jackson, but we have a lot of 22 and under players getting a regular game - Spargo, Petty, Jordon, Pickett, Sparrow and Rivers (+Toby Bedford who’s been medi-sub every game). Of the non-locks from Melbourne Petty would be the unluckiest to miss the team.

Typical AFL not even knowing how to count.

22 years and 364 days is "under 22".
 
Time for a revisit me thinks;

!8 year olds - Ben Hobbs,

19 year olds - Errol Gulden, Oliver Henry, Jake Bowey, Jack Ginnivan, Nick Daicos, Nasiah Wanganeen - Milera, Josh Gibcus, Josh Rachele, Jason Horne - Francis,

20 year olds - Trent Rivers, Jai Newcombe, Mitch Georgiades, Luke Jackson, Miles Bergman, Hugo Ralphsmith, Heath Chapman, Archie Perkins, Logan McDonald, Josh Gibcus, Riley Thilthorpe,

21 year olds - Jack Lukosious, Justin McInerney, Zak Butters, James Rowbottom, Jye Caldwell, Jordan Clark, Bailey Smith, James Jordan, Cody Weightman, Tom Green, Caleb Strong, Noah Anderson, Sam De Koning, Nic Martin, Hayden Young, Chad Warner, Kosi Pickett, Matt Rowell,

(I think these guys are still eligible)
22 year olds - Adam Cerra, Cam Rayner, Noah Balta, Andrew Brayshaw, Harrison Petty, Aaron Naughton, Tom McCartin, Isaac Quyanor, Conor Rozee, Nick Blakey, Keidan Coleman, Isaac Rankine, Sam Walsh, Max King

[note. Pretty sure Zac Bailey from Brisbane will miss by less than a week from being eligible]

On that note, have sat it;

B. Jake Bowey - Sam De Koning - Isaac Quaynor

Hb. Hayden Young - Tom McCartin - Nick Blakey

C. Bailey Smith - Bailey Smith - Nick Daicos

Hf. Nic Martin - Mitch Georgiades - Cam Rayner

F. Cody Weightman - Max King - Jack Ginnivan

R. Luke Jackson - Sam Walsh - Andrew Brayshaw

I/C. Jai Newcombe - Noah Anderson - Kosi Pickett - Take your pick who you want
 
What's the cut off?

For example Dylan Moores birthday was the other day 7th July does that rule him out as a 23 year old because over half the season he has been 22. I think it should. but wheres the line like anyone born in 1999 is out? Or only those with birthdays before a certain date?

I pretty sure it’s turning 23 a day after grand final day hence why I believe Zac Bailey is ineligible.
