St Kilda young guns Mitchito Owens and Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera have been selected in the final 2023 AFLPA 22Under22 team.

The 22Under22 is an annual fan-voted team of the best players across the AFL under the age of 22, with the second-year Saints earning maiden selections in the team.

Selected at pick No. 21 in the 2021 NAB AFL Draft, the silky-skilled Wanganeen-Milera has been a model of consistency across half-back this season, featuring in every game and playing an important role in the Saints' finals berth.

The 20-year-old ranks inside the top 20 in the competition for marks (averaging 6.3), kicks (17.6), metres gained (447) and bounces (0.8), impressing with his speed, poise and sound decision-making.

Owens has played a vital role as a forward, particularly in the absences of Max King and Tim Membrey for sustained periods, while also starring in stints through midfield.
