• New faces aplenty in official 40-man shortlist
AFL.COM.AU's All Australian team of 22 sparked plenty of heated debate in the office, with outright factional warfare threatening to break out between the cluster of Tiger aficionados who stood up for Alex Rance and the Bloods fanatics who sought to end Nick Smith's 'under-rated' status.
While picking the All Australian 22 is never a black and white process, our team is notable for its lack of players in black and white. No Pendlebury, Beams or, er, any other Magpies.
Josh Kennedy is a solid shot to walk away with a Brownlow on Monday week, but he's only good for a spot on our bench, highlighting the usual depth of midfield talent across the League.
And Luke Parker fans may wish to quibble with our all-Hawthorn forward line of Breust, Roughead and Gunston.
• Why we picked our All Australian defenders
• No spot for Pendlebury or Parker in our midfield
• A sea of brown and gold up forward
