Fremantle's 11-game winning streak has helped Josh Treacy, Murphy Reid, Luke Jackson and Shai Bolton into the side, while Sydney's 10-2 start sees Tom McCartin, Nick Blakey, Isaac Heeney and Justin McInerney make the cut.
The team would feature nine potential first-time All-Australians with McCartin, Treacy, Reid, Jackson and McInerney joined by fellow fresh faces Lachie Ash, Wayne Milera, Max Holmes and Nick Watson.
The side would also mean a record ninth All-Australian blazer for Max Gawn, who has been named on the bench deputising for Jackson in the ruck.
A total of 12 clubs were represented in the team, with reigning back-to-back premier Brisbane surprising without a player selected in the side. Carlton, Essendon, North Melbourne, Richmond and West Coast were the other clubs not represented.
Apart from the Swans and Dockers, the other clubs to have multiple selections were Geelong (three), Hawthorn, Melbourne and Port Adelaide (two each).
Of the 23 players named, 12 were unanimous representatives in all seven of the selectors' sides.
Milera, Cal Wilkie, Blakey, Watson, Bailey Smith, Zak Butters, Holmes, Marcus Bontempelli, Bolton, Heeney, Nick Daicos and Jackson were the players named in all seven teams from the selectors.
