A DUO of Demons have been recognised as some of the best young talent in the competition, with Harvey Langford and Koltyn Tholstrup named in the AFL Players’ Association's 22Under22 squad.
The AFLPA 22Under22, presented by Intrepid, is a fan-voted concept that recognises the best 22 players aged 22 and under for the entirety of the season.
For a player to be eligible for the squad of 40, they are required to play 50 per cent of the home-and-away season, equating to 12 matches.
Tholstrup’s selection in the squad comes after a consistent season in Melbourne’s senior side, playing all 20 games for 2026.
The 21-year-old has become the premier tagging Demon, tasked with quelling the impact of some of the league’s best players.
Langford’s recognition in the squad is no surprise, with the young Demon putting together a standout campaign in what is just his second year at the top level.
The 20-year-old has owned his role along the wing, his gut running giving him the ability to impact games both offensively and defensively.
Dees fans can now vote for Tholstrup and Langford to make the final 22, with voting closing on Wednesday 12 August. VOTE HERE.
The final team will be announced on Wednesday 19 August.
