And the most potent small forward of the season – North Melbourne's Lindsay Thomas, who kicked 53 goals – can consider himself unfortunate to be edged out of a forward pocket position.

The Hawks' skipper, who is a three-time All Australian and captained the team in 2010, was squeezed out by teammate Sam Mitchell, who was named on the half-back flank.
Fyfe was in the running for his first All Australian guernsey and was one of four Dockers named in the extended squad of 40 who failed to make the final cut.
Fyfe played 19 games this year and averaged more than 25 disposals a game.
His Fremantle teammates Chris Mayne, David Mundy and Michael Walters also missed out with Michael Johnson the only one to make it. The defender was named in the back pocket.
Thomas finished the season seventh on the goal-kicking table and was overlooked in favour of Coleman medallist Jarryd Roughead, who was curiously named in a forward pocket, and Port Adelaide youngster Chad Wingard, who earned the other.
Jeremy Cameron, the first Greater Western Sydney player to be nominated for All Australian honours, was named at full-forward.
Other preliminary finalists from the 40-man squad who didn't make the final 22 were Steven Motlop (Geelong), Josh Gibson and Lance Franklin (Hawthorn), and Josh Kennedy and Nick Malceski (Sydney Swans).
St Kilda's best and fairest winner Jack Steven was victim of a strong midfield line-up that included Ryan Griffen, Joel Selwood, Scott Pendlebury, Dane Swan and Gary Ablett.
There wasn't room for him on the bench, either, with Travis Boak, Dan Hannebery, Jobe Watson and Andrew Mackie taking those spots.
Saints fans will also feel aggrieved at the omission of skipper Nick Riewoldt, who was ranked No.1 in the competition for marks with an average of nearly 10 a game.
He ran second to Steven in the club's best and fairest.
Adelaide scored a 50 per cent strike rate with their squad members making the cut. Patrick Dangerfield was named on the half-forward flank while Richard Douglas missed out.
Of the four Kangaroos in contention for a spot, only first-timer Scott Thompson made the team, being named at full-back.
Todd Goldstein was overlooked for Western Bulldogs ruckman Will Minson while Daniel Wells also couldn't crack the star-studded midfield.
West Coast's two chances were also nudged out with Eric Mackenzie failing to break into a backline that included Thompson, Johnson and Geelong's Corey Enright, while forward Josh Kennedy was left out as well.
