Young gun Cory Gregson has been named in the 2015 AFL Players’ Association 22Under22 squad.
The 22Under22 concept was introduced in 2013 to recognise the best young talent in the competition, as decided by the fans. To be eligible for this year’s team, players must be aged 22 or younger on Grand Final Day this year.
Gregson has been picked in the initial 47-man squad selected by the AFL Players’ Association Board.
The final 22Under22 team will be decided by fans, with the AFL Players’ Association calling on all footy fans to cast their votes by liking the AFL Players’ Facebook page and selecting a 22Under22 team from the 47-man squad.
This year’s 22Under22 squad has at least one nominee from each AFL club, with Gregson selected from Geelong.
2015 was a great debut season for the former gymnast, adding a new dimension to the Geelong forward line and bringing much-needed pressure and pace to the club. Three goals from 18 disposals, five inside 50s and four tackles in the Round 6 clash with Collingwood was a highlight in an unexpected year from the small forward after being taken with pick 47 in the 2014 National Draft.
The final 22Under22 team will be announced at the AFL Players’ MVP Awards on Tuesday, September 15.
You can vote for Gregson by submitting your 22Under22 team via the AFL Players’ Facebook page before Wednesday, September 9. Everyone who enters a team will have a chance to win the ultimate 22Under22 prize pack.
