The Sydney Swans also have two representatives, with Dan Hannebery on the opposite wing to Gaff and Josh Kennedy, the AFL's leading clearance player, selected in the centre.

Fremantle's Nat Fyfe was a unanimous pick among the AFL.com.au judges after a season that has him favourite to win the Brownlow Medal.

North Melbourne star Todd Goldstein was the other unanimous pick, selected as the team's No.1 ruckman after a brilliant, record-breaking season.

Centres

ANDREW GAFF (West Coast) - The relentless West Coast midfielder has been a key reason for the Eagles' surge to a home preliminary final. He ranked fourth in the AFL for kicks and third in the League for handballs this season, proving his ability to win huge amounts of the ball. Gaff's standout game came in round 15 against Adelaide, when he kicked three goals from 36 disposals in the Eagles' 56-point win.


JOSH KENNEDY (Sydney Swans) - Kennedy's extraordinary run of form saw him pick up 30 disposals or more in the final 11 games of the Swans' home and away season. He wins the centreman's position in AFL.com.au's All Australian team after a prolific and damaging season. In a Swans midfield that has been hit by injuries at times across the season, Kennedy has stood tall and again proven himself to be among the best players in the competition.

DAN HANNEBERY (Sydney Swans) - The winner of the AFL Coaches' Association player of the year award took his game to another level in 2015. Hannebery led the competition for total disposals and was third in the competition for inside-50 entries, showing his run and drive. Hannebery, who won the NAB AFL Rising Star Award in 2010, has continued his ascent into one of the game's great midfielders who is tough, consistent and effective.

TODD GOLDSTEIN (North Melbourne)- The standout ruckman in the AFL this season gets the nod in our predicted All Australian team. Playing all bar the final game of the home and away season (when he was rested), he had the most hit-outs of any player (937 at an average of 43 a game). He had a remarkable 80 hit-outs against Greater Western Sydney in round 12 and will be clear favourite to win North Melbourne's best and fairest.

NAT FYFE (Fremantle)- Fyfe is the Brownlow Medal favourite for a reason and his extraordinary season is set to see him become a back-to-back All Australian. The Fremantle star had a stunning start to the season with a streak of best-on-ground performances and is the best player in the comp. He endured an interrupted end of the season with some niggling injuries, but is almost unstoppable when on his game.

MATT PRIDDIS (West Coast) - Last year's Brownlow medallist statistically had a better year than his 2014 season, averaging 30 disposals a game. He ranked first in the competition for handballs, second overall for clearances and fourth in the AFL for total disposals. In 11 games he collected 30 or more disposals, and was able to kickstart the dangerous West Coast midfield unit.
