Youngest players in the other grades

Inspired by smac, are there any players that come to mind that played in the Reserves, 19s or 17s at a young age? I think Stuart Dew was around 15 when he played Reserves?

You do work fast mate, I suppose you have a new spreadsheet ready to go also?

I'll add my old man to the list, played 17's (colts) at age 12 for Centrals after standing his math teacher in a B grade game for Salisbury North (he claims that's why he failed maths, I reckon it's because he was outside kicking the footy in class time).

I can recall a story (I think it was one of the Krieg boys) being in a Central U17 team at a ridiculously young age. They were down on numbers so they registered him and placed him on the field to start the game. The moment the siren rang, they took him off. Can't recall his age but it was very young.

When I was at Norwood, Neil Craig was playing U17s at 14 years of age and won the medal that year. The following year he won the U19s medal at 15.
