AFL.com.au had the unenviable task of sitting down to pick the best under-23 players in the League, based on form this season.

The qualification was the players had to be under the age of 23 prior to the commencement of their club's season.

The team is riddled with midfield talent and it was difficult fitting all the different young stars in. As such, there were a number of unlucky players who did not quite make the cut.

The strength of this team, and the unlucky omissions, just proves how many talented young players there are in the AFL.
