Five Collingwood Magpies have been named among the 40 players under consideration for All-Australian honours.

Alan Didak, Dane Swan, Harry O'Brien, Scott Pendlebury and Darren Jolly were all named in the squad, set to be finalised to 22 players on Monday September 13 in Melbourne.

The All Australian selectors were not asked to nominate the leading players in each section of the field -- forwards, defenders and midfielders / ruckmen - as per recent seasons, but simply to name the best players of the season. However, the final team of 22 is selected to best fit team balance as if to play a match.

Didak (2006) and Swan (2009) have previously been selected as All-Australians while O'Brien, Jolly and Pendlebury will be vying for their first guernsey in the side.

For the first time the general public can purchase tickets to the Four’n’Twenty All Australian Awards. Tickets are available from the AFL Event Office; $20 for adults, $15 for AFL/Club members and $10 for Juniors. To book, visit www.afl.com.au/eventoffice

The All Australian selection panel is: Andrew Demetriou (chairman), Adrian Anderson, Kevin Bartlett, Gerard Healy, James Hird, Glen Jakovich, Mark Ricciuto and Robert Walls.
