26-player squad to play for the Australian under-18s against the Casey Demons VFL team at the MCG on April 20.
The squad for the game, which is set to be broadcast live on Fox Footy from 11am, was picked by club recruiters and the AFL, and came largely from the teams that featured on the MCG in last year's Grand Final curtain-raiser.

Midfield pair Noah Anderson and Matt Rowell are the early leaders in the battle for this year's No.1 pick, Dylan Williams might be the most talented forward in the pool and Trent Bianco is a first-round midfield prospect.
Now a fifth name has emerged for the Chargers early in the NAB League season.
Nick Bryan's early form at under-18 level has seen him catch the eye of recruiters, with some already discussing the 202cm ruckman as the best of his type in 2019.
