The exciting future of the Brisbane Lions has been further highlighted following the announcement of the 2025 AFL Players’ Association’s 22Under22 Team of the Year.

It was a Lions domination with five players selected in the team, the most representatives of any AFL club.

The quintet named was Darcy Wilmot, Jaspa Fletcher, Logan Morris as well as Will and Levi Ashcroft.

The exciting young group were all included in the initial squad before being voted into the final 22 by AFL fans across the country. 

Wilmot was named in a back pocket with Fletcher on a back flank, Will Ashcroft starting in the midfield, Morris at full forward and Levi Ashcroft on the interchange. 

Brisbane Lions General Manager Football, Danny Daly said having five players in the team was a proud and rewarding moment.

“I think I speak on behalf of everyone at the Club when I say this announcement is a great achievement and one we are very proud of,” Daly said. 

“Not only is it a special moment for Darcy, Logan, Jaspa, Levi and Will but a great endorsement for the entire club, particularly our list management team.

“We have other impressive young talent such as Kai Lohmann, Sam Marshall, Ty Gallop, Henry Smith and Will McLachlan who are under 22 but didn’t play enough games this season to qualify. 

“This is a great initiative by the AFL Players Association and one that shows we are well positioned for the future.” 

For a player to be eligible, they must be 22 and under for the entirety of the season (including Grand Final Day, 27 September) and have played a minimum of 12 games in 2025. 

After the initial 40-person squad was announced, fans then had the power to decide the final 22Under22 team by voting.
