ADELAIDE leads the way with three selections in AFL.com.au's combined All-Australian team, while Western Bulldogs superstar Marcus Bontempelli has been overlooked in a side stacked with new midfield talent.

Eight AFL.com.au reporters voted for their All-Australian teams this week, with Jordan Dawson named captain and picked alongside teammates Josh Worrell and Riley Thilthorpe.

Nine other clubs had two selections each in our unofficial team and Hawthorn had one (Jack Gunston), but Greater Western Sydney players were overlooked altogether.

Half of the side were unanimous picks from our eight selectors, with Dawson, Thilthorpe, Harris Andrews, Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera, Hugh McCluggage, Nick Daicos, Bailey Smith, Noah Anderson, Ed Richards, Jamie Elliott and Jeremy Cameron getting eight selections each.

Eleven of the 22 have never been All-Australian before, with a midfield changing of the guard represented by the selections of Anderson, McCluggage, Smith, Richards and Matt Rowell.

Multiple All-Australian midfielders to be overlooked include Bontempelli, Lachie Neale, Zak Butters and Zach Merrett, while Max Holmes and Tom Green were also unlucky to miss out.

The other potential first-timers picked were Worrell, Thilthorpe, Wanganeen-Milera, Elliott, Jordan Clark and Kysaiah Pickett.

Veterans Gunston, Elliott and Cameron lead an experienced forward line alongside Thilthorpe and Swans star Isaac Heeney, while there is no room for Ben King or Mitch Georgiades.

The defence is led by Brisbane co-captain Andrews, Crows youngster Worrell and St Kilda stalwart Cal Wilkie, with the trio edging out Giants star Sam Taylor for the key position spots.

Wanganeen-Milera, Clark and Bailey Dale are the ball users in the backline, with that trio edging out the likes of Josh Daicos, Lachie Ash and Dayne Zorko.

Max Gawn and Brodie Grundy are both selected, with the Melbourne skipper edging ahead to win a starting spot.

Our collective team was not picked through a consensus, with our reporters instead submitting their 22s individually before the votes were tallied and a combined team assembled.

The official extended squad is set to be announced on Tuesday before the final 22 is unveiled at the AFL Awards Night on Thursday night.
