A CHANGE in the Allies selection process has seen no preseason camp held this year for the budding squad of players ranging from the Northern Territory, NSW\/ACT, Queensland, and Tasmania. Instead, they will come together for trials in June, ahead of the 2026 Under 18 National Championships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
>> SCROLL to see the full hypothetical squad<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n While that makes the picture less clear coming into the season, players will inevitably emerge and cement their place on the representative stage. Even still, there is a bunch of talent scattered across the respective state and territories expected to be absolute locks for this year’s side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With only prior form in mind – dating back to the 2024 Under 16 National Championships which produced eight All-Australians in Pool B – Rookie Me Central <\/em>has had a crack at putting together a hypothetical preseason Allies squad for 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n No Allies preseason camp this year but expect a new trial to be held in Sydney around June as prospects from the NT, NSW, ACT, Queensland and Tassie audition for spots at the U18 National Championships. #AFLDraft<\/a> @RookieMeCentral<\/a><\/p>— Michael Alvaro (@MichaelTAlvaro) February 12, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote>
