Honourable mentions: Jarryd Roughead, Nathan Jones

Potentially the most prolific ball-winner we've seen and a strong Brownlow favourite.

Honourable mentions: Stephen Coniglio, Andrew Gaff, Jack Steven

It seems you don't get the number four on your back unless you're a bonafide superstar. The Brownlow medallist just gets our vote for this one.

Honourable mentions: Shaun Higgins, Brodie Grundy, Toby Greene, Gary Ablett, Marcus Bontempelli

The smooth moving Giant is an out and out star.

Honourable mentions: Matt Crouch, Isaac Heeney

The big-bodied West Coast midfielder gets the nod in a strong pack

Port Adelaide's midfield bull has been in fine form this season.

A razor-thin decision here but Gunston's form of late earned him the spot on this one.

We couldn't go past the stickiest dukes in the competition.

Honourable mentions: Chad Wingard

Pretty easy choice here.

Honourable mention: Rory Atkins

The silky Giant just beats out a few proven performers.

Honourable mentions: Steele Sidebottom, Luke Breust, Mitch Duncan, Josh Caddy

Not a heap of depth at the glamour number made famous by Michael Jordan, but the big Swan has more than enough star power.

Honourable mention: Kane Lambert

The versatile Sydney defender edges out a ruckman for this spot.

Honourable mention: Sam Jacobs

Surely a lock for a first All Australian for the Eagles skipper.

Honourable mentions: Tom McDonald, Robbie Tarrant, Toby Nankervis, Jake Stringer

The young Brisbane backman has claimed plenty of big scalps this year.

Honourable mention: Aaron Sandilands, Will Schofield

The Pies forward has turned into very dangerous goalsneak.

Honourable mentions: Ryan Griffen, Mason Wood

Not a heap of depth at 33 with Cyril Rioli retired and Brodie Smith injured.

We were hard-pressed finding much quality in the number 34 but the North defender fits the bill.
