BRISBANE'S dramatic rise up the ladder has been rewarded in AFL.com.au's 2019 Virgin Australia AFL All Australian side, with four Lions selected in the final team.
A total of 11 AFL.com.au reporters across Victoria, Western Australia, Queensland, South Australia and New South Wales voted for their All Australian teams following the 40-man squad announcement on Monday.
Brisbane and West Coast were the best-represented teams, with each club having four players selected, while Geelong and Richmond each had three players chosen.
