The 22 under 22 side for 2021 has been named with Carlton star Sam Walsh named captain and Fremantle’s Andrew Brayshaw vice-captain.
Gold Coast and Melbourne have the most representation with three players each, while Walsh and Western Bulldogs forward Aaron Naughton were selected for a third straight year.
King brothers Ben and Max made the team, as did breakout Hawk Changkuoth Jiath.
Bailey Smith was the most commonly selected player by fans at 97 per cent, due in part to only having three dedicated wingmen to pick from.
Naughton was picked in 91 per cent of teams, Brayshaw 90, Walsh and Shai Bolton at 89 per cent.
The team represented a changing of the guard, with 12 first-timers named, including GWS’ Sam Taylor, Sydney’s Tom McCartin, West Coast’s Oscar Allen and Brisbane’s Zac Bailey.
