A quartet of young Crows have been named in the AFL Players Association (AFLPA) 22 under 22 squad for 2023.
Nick Murray (Defender), Luke Pedlar, Josh Rachele (Forward) and Riley Thilthorpe (Ruck) were all included in the 44-player squad released by the AFLPA on Thursday.
Adelaide had the joint second-highest representation of any team in the squad.
Prior to a season ending knee injury in Round 19, Murray enjoyed a break-out campaign in defence, averaging 6.7 spoils and 3.9 marks per game.
Pedlar and Rachele have continued to develop as damaging small forwards, booting 23 and 17 goals a piece so far this season.
Meanwhile, Thilthorpe has blossomed as a mobile forward/ruck, kicking 17 goals while taking 3.8 marks per game.
The final team will be determined by a fan vote.
