Western Bulldogs young guns Isabelle Pritchard, Sarah Hartwig and Jess Fitzgerald have been selected in the AFLPA Torrens University 22under22 squad for 2024.
Pritchard, 22, has been one of the Dogs’ most consistent performers this season, averaging 19.9 disposals, 5.6 tackles and 5.2 clearances.
Fitzgerald, 22, has also enjoyed an impactful campaign, averaging 15.7 possessions, 4.5 tackles and 3.1 clearances across both the midfield and half-back.
Hartwig, 22, has averaged 6.4 disposals, 3.5 tackles and kicked eight goals, creating plenty of opportunities inside the Dogs’ forward 50.
If voted in the final team, it will mark a second time for both Pritchard (2022) and Fitzgerald (2021), and a maiden inclusion for Hartwig.
The fan-voted concept, presented by Torrens University Australia, recognises the best 22 players aged 22 and under for the entirety of the AFLW season.
For a player to be eligible for the squad of 44, they are required to play a minimum of five games of the home and away season.
Voting is open now until midnight on November 13, with the final team to be announced via the AFL Players’ Association social media channels on November 20.
