It comes as no surprise that a number of Lions have been named in the final team, following impressive seasons at the Club.

Harris Andrews, Alex Witherden and Eric Hipwood have been named in the final team selected by fans.

It is the second year in a row that both Andrews and Hipwood have earned their spot in the AFLPA's best. They join six other players from last year's side, including Marcus Bontempelli (Western Bulldogs), Charlie Curnow (Carlton), Zach Merrett and Andrew McGrath (Essendon), Clayton Oliver (Melbourne) and Isaac Heeney (Sydney).

Only four Lions have ever made the 22Under22 team in its seventh-year history: Andrews and Hipwood twice, Witherden now once and Jack Redden in 2012.

Hugh McCluggage has narrowly missed final selection after being initially named in the 22Under22 squad.
