Western Bulldogs young guns Bailey Smith and Aaron Naughton have been voted into the 2022 AFLPA 22under22 team.

Remarkably, it is the fourth consecutive time Naughton has been selected, named on the half-forward line, and a third consecutive selection for Smith, named in the middle.

Naughton, 22, was the fifth most popular player voted in, chosen in 87% of teams, while Smith, 21, was not far behind in 85% of teams.

Naughton played 21 matches this season, averaging 11.7 disposals and 4.7 marks while contributing 51 goals for the season.

Smith averaged 29.6 disposals (ranking in the elite category), 3.9 marks and 3.8 clearances from his 16 games.
