THE 2025 Allies squad has been finalised, boasting talent set to rival that of the historic undefeated side from 2023. A total of 26 players were selected out of NSW\/ACT, Queensland, Tasmania and the Northern Territory, with a remarkable 19 being tied to academies in their respective regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That doesn’t include top five prospect Zeke Uwland<\/a>, who is likely to miss the entire carnival with a back injury, and highly rated midfielder Jai Murray<\/a> (ankle).<\/p>\n\n\n\n AFL Academy member Liam Hetherton<\/a> was another key name omitted from the list as he also rehabs a back injury. The 10-player strong NSW\/ACT contingent is otherwise made up of five Swans, three Giants, and two border natives out of the Murray Bushrangers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tasmania’s representation has been boosted by the inclusions of forward Jack Miller<\/a> and defender Toby Callow<\/a>, while the Northern Territory’s sole squad member is ruck\/forward Taj Murray<\/a>. The latter of the three, a National Academy member, is also tied to North Adelaide in the SANFL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The strength of the Allies’ top-age group is highlighted by the total absence of bottom-agers. Only two over-age (2006-born) players made the cut, with Giants Academy forward Riley Hamilton<\/a> earning his spot alongside Suns Academy swingman Caleb Nancarrow<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Among the star prospects are likely top 10 selections Daniel Annable<\/a>, Max King<\/a>, and Dylan Patterson<\/a>. A bunch of others are jostling for first round consideration, namely prolific midfielder Beau Addinsall<\/a> and Swans Academy pair Lachlan Carmichael<\/a> and Noah Chamberlain<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
