Marcus Bontempelli started a potentially career-defining month with a major honour while Charlie Curnow, Zach Merrett and Darcy Cameron were the most notable exclusions from the All-Australian team.
Western Bulldogs champion Marcus Bontempelli has begun a potentially career-defining four weeks by being named captain of a midfielder-laden All-Australian team, as Melbourne skipper Max Gawn was cemented as one of the game’s modern greats.
Only six players retained their place in the side from 12 months ago – Magpies gun Nick Daicos, Fremantle’s midfield ace Caleb Serong, Port Adelaide pair Zak Butters and Dan Houston, Bontempelli and Gulden. Pipped for the honour of captain, Cripps suited up for his fourth blazer, this time as the ruck-rover, in a season in which many believe he can win a second Brownlow.Gawn, preferred ahead of Cameron and North Melbourne’s Tristan Xerri in the ruck, became the 10th player to be a seven-time All Australian, joining greats such as Gary Ablett snr, Gary Ablett jnr, Lance Franklin and Patrick Dangerfield.
Hawthorn forward Dylan Moore’s higher tallies for possessions, goal assists and score involvements won him a berth in the forward pocket over Geelong’s Tyson Stengle, who kicked more goals.Goalkicking midfielders Heeney and Warner were named on the half-forward flanks despite playing primarily on the ball.
