That’s more outrageous than the goal umpiring on Saturday night.

Selectors of these types of things, and I would even suggest umpires, base their decisions on what social circles of AFL players they can mix in to feel relevant. In simple terms, player x invited me to his bbq, or I hope player x invites me to his bbq = an extra vote in awards or blind eye to indiscretions on and off field while gushing about how gooda human player x is.
We just need to keep having Hayes (and later Dante) providing them service and there'll be no question next year of the best midfield across the league. The only thing stopping that is Hinkley effectively leaving the handbrake on a fast car, by playing Lycett or Teakle (or Finalyson) as ruck.

Should be done by a panel like the Rising Star.
Honestly how JHF is not in that team is laughable. Football Logies.

Eh
I can see how you would think that all the mids bar smith (who gets on reputation being the oldest player in the side being a young draftee) have had better years than JHF

Deserves at least 2/3 free kicks a game at the moment the way he is handled by the opposition.
Surely Kenny will call this out at some stage?

Oh yes, he was. I voted for him. Mixed up this final 22 with the squad.

Was David King on the selection committee by any chance?
who's the bright spark who decides it's an "under 22" team and players like bailey sniff (who turns 23 in december) are in it?
if it's 22 under 22, then the players should be under 22 when the team is announced. seems a pretty basic concept.
Have to be under 23 on the last day in September hence why butters didn't qualify

Does anybody actually take it seriously?

Which young trio were you more excited for at the time
Wingard, Wines, Polec vs Butters, Rozee and JHF
I truly believed in 2015 that Wingard would turn into a champion player. Shame what happened.
Butters, Rozee and JHF seem to be reaching their best earlier than the other three.

The current three. There's a genuine competitor & a hate losing edge particularly with Zak & Jason that tips it quite easily for me. They'll max their talent.
Thats ridiculous, guy has serious impact , should’ve been one of the first picked
Definitely Butters , Rozee and JHF

Butters rise this year changed it all. We were all pinned on Rozee and hope JHF would become great in a few years too, but suddenly we have 2 superstars and an elite rookie coming through. Its a game changer. Whilst Wines, Boak, Drew, etc are now just the amazing additional talent, making this current crop just phenomenal. Its been said many times but this is clearly the best midfield we've had in the AFL.

And we have other guys coming through.
Butters, Rozee and JHF and its not even remotely close
In fact if you asked me Wingard, Wines + Polec combined, or JHF.... still JHF, and still not close.
