The 19-year-old Young sat out of the Dockers' reserves scratch match against the Lions on Saturday morning along with fellow emergency Connor Blakely.
However it is Young, a product from the Dandenong Stingrays, who received the nod.
Hoping your club drafts a classy ball user this year? Look no further than Hayden Young, who delivered this brilliant kick in the clutch stages of the NAB AFL Under 18 Championships.

The Lions will go into the clash as named on Thursday, as they seek to improve on their disappointing round one loss to Hawthorn at the MCG.
