All three played their part as Collingwood overhauled West Coast at the MCG on Saturday night.
Five players from the squad that booked Adelaide a preliminary final berth on Friday night also remain in the hunt for a berth in the final 22.
Patrick Dangerfield, Sam Jacobs, Brent Reilly, Scott Thompson and Taylor Walker have all been nominated from the Crows in the 40-man shortlist. None has previously been named in an All Australian side.
Fremantle captain Matthew Pavlich will become the most-capped All Australian player of the modern era if his name is called out on Monday night.
Pavlich has not made an All Australian team since 2008 and is tied with Carlton captain Chris Judd and retired Geelong full-back Matthew Scarlett on six appearances.
The key forward played a major role in Fremantle's resurgence this season, playing 21 games and kicking 62 goals.
Since 1980, only 14 players have made seven or more All-Australian teams.
Pavlich was second in the goalkicking behind Richmond's Coleman Medallist Jack Riewoldt, who is a strong candidate to be named full-forward.
Hawthorn star Lance Franklin missed six games because of injury, but he was fourth in the goalkicking with 59 goals.
The small forward role could go to St Kilda veteran Stephen Milne, who had a stellar season with 56 goals.
Geelong key forward Tom Hawkins is another strong contender for selection after also kicking 62 goals.
Brownlow Medal favourites Trent Cotchin (Richmond), Jobe Watson (Essendon), Gary Ablett (Gold Coast) and Thompson (Adelaide) all appear certainties to make the team, either in midfield roles, as resting forwards or on the bench.
Five other on-ballers who are likely to make the cut are North Melbourne captain Andrew Swallow, Hawthorn star Sam Mitchell, Beams, Dangerfield and Sydney Swan Josh Kennedy.
Collingwood midfielder Dayne Beams appears destined for All Australian honours after a superb season.

The candidates for the No.1 ruckman spot all have enjoyed great seasons - five-time All-Australian Dean Cox and West Coast teammate Nic Naitanui are the best ruck combination in the game.
Jacobs and Richmond ruckman Ivan Maric are also in the initial squad after breakout years.
Swans key defender Ted Richards has been rock-solid and is a big chance to earn his first All-Australian selection at centre half-back, with Fremantle key defender Luke McPharlin or West Coast captain Darren Glass worthy choices for fullback.
While Glass is a five-time All-Australian, McPharlin has never received the honour.
Glass' teammate Beau Waters, four-time All-Australian Enright, Adelaide's Reilly and Grant Birchall of Hawthorn have strong claims for the other defensive positions.
