MINOR premier Collingwood is the best-represented club in the AFL All-Australian squad of 44, with five Magpies in the mix to win a coveted blazer.

Brownlow Medal favourite Nick Daicos is joined by his brother Josh, while Jordan De Goey, Isaac Quaynor and captain Darcy Moore have all been named.

Every one of the 18 clubs is represented, with Oscar Allen's 53 goals for West Coast and Nick Larkey's 71 for North Melbourne deservedly getting recognition for the bottom two clubs.

Brownlow medallist Dustin Martin is Richmond's only nominee.

There are some surprise omissions in the squad. Richmond recruit Tim Taranto and six-time All-Australian Max Gawn have been overlooked, as have Greater Western Sydney full-back Sam Taylor, Geelong pair Jeremy Cameron and Gryan Miers as well as Adelaide small forward Izak Rankine.

Tim English and Rowan Marshall are in line to win their first blazers as All-Australian ruckmen, as is Luke Jackson, who left Melbourne as Gawn's sidekick last year to join Fremantle.

Giants defender Taylor has been left out after playing just 15 games this season, while De Goey (18 games) has been selected with the least senior appearances.

Harris Andrews, Pies skipper Moore, Jacob Weitering and Callum Wilkie are the genuine key defensive options.

Veterans Taylor Walker, Tom Liberatore, Stephen Coniglio and Jack Viney are all seeking their first AA jackets after fabulous seasons earned them nominations.

Young Hawk Jai Newcombe, Giant Tom Green, Sun Noah Anderson, Swan Nick Blakey and Port's Zak Butters are notable 'generation next' selections who are seeking their first jackets.

Incredibly, only 14 players from last year's squad of 44 have been named again.

The final 22-man All-Australian team will be announced at the AFL Awards on Wednesday night.

The official 2023 All-Australian selection panel is comprised of: Gillon McLachlan (chairperson), Kevin Bartlett, Eddie Betts, Jude Bolton, Nathan Buckley, Kane Cornes, Andrew Dillon, Glen Jakovich, Laura Kane, Cameron Ling and Matthew Pavlich.
