The Lions have equal most representatives of any club, alongside North Melbourne.
Logan Morris, Levi Ashcroft, Will Ashcroft, Darcy Wilmot, and Jaspa Fletcher were all recognised following impressive 2026 campaigns.
The initial squad was released today, with fans now invited to vote for the final team. Voting closes on Wednesday August 12th at 11:59pm, with the final team to be released the following week.
Morris who has booted 47 goals this season, earned selection among the forwards. Brothers Levi and Will Ashcroft, both previous 22Under22 team members, were named in the midfield, while Wilmot and Fletcher (previous 22Under22 team members) were selected as defenders.
For a player to be eligible, they must be 22 and under for the entirety of the season (including Grand Final Day, 26 September) and have played a minimum of 12 games in 2026.
