Sarah Hartwig has been voted in the AFLPA’s 22under22 team for the first time in her career.

Hartwig, 22, averaged 6.4 disposals, 3.5 tackles and kicked eight goals during the most recent campaign, earning herself a spot in the team as judged by fans.

She was selected on the interchange bench.

Hartwig was one of three Bulldogs named in the squad, alongside Isabelle Pritchard and Jess Fitzgerald. 

Geelong’s Georgie Prespakis was voted captain, while Gold Coast’s Charlie Rowbottom was named vice-captain.

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.
