THE AFL wishes to advise the All Australian selection panel has confirmed the squad of 44 players in contention for selection for the 2025 AFL All Australian Team.

The All Australian selection panel was asked to select 44 players to recognise the leading players across all parts of the field – forwards, defenders and midfielders/rucks.

The final team of 22, as per the criteria established in 2007, will be selected as if to play a match. The team will be named on Thursday, 28 August, as part of the AFL Awards.

The Adelaide Crows, Brisbane Lions, Gold Coast SUNS and Western Bulldogs have the equal most players selected in the squad, with five each.

The full list of club representation is – Adelaide Crows (five), Brisbane Lions (five), Collingwood (three), Fremantle (four), Geelong Cats (three), Gold Coast SUNS (five), GWS GIANTS (four), Hawthorn (two), Melbourne (two), Port Adelaide (two), Richmond (one), St Kilda (one), Sydney Swans (two) and Western Bulldogs (five). Carlton, Essendon, North Melbourne and the West Coast Eagles do not have a representative named.

There are 28 players vying for their first All Australian team selection, including 18 All Australian squad debutants.

Max Gawn is in line for an eighth All Australian team selection, making him potentially the seventh player in the competition’s history with eight All Australian blazers.

Gary Ablett Snr, Gary Ablett Jnr, Patrick Dangerfield, Lance Franklin, Robert Harvey, and Mark Ricciuto all have eight across their career.

This is followed by Marcus Bontempelli, who is in line for a seventh All Australian team selection, potentially joining Wayne Carey, Stephen Silvagni, Max Gawn and current All Australian selector Nathan Buckley, who each have seven blazers.

The 2025 All Australian selection panel is Andrew Dillon (Chair), Eddie Betts, Jude Bolton, Nathan Buckley, Kane Cornes, Abbey Holmes, Glen Jakovich, Laura Kane and Matthew Pavlich.
