All-Australian

An All-Australian team is considered a 'best-of' selection of players for each calendar year, with each player represented in their team position. Each team is selected by a panel of experts.

Sporting Life's All Australian

Sporting Life Magazine first pioneered the concept of an All-Australian 'team of the year' in 1947, and would run each year until 1955. The AFL does not recognise the teams selected by Sporting Life. Bob Quinn – 1947 (captain) Dick Russell – 1950 Fos Williams – 1950, 1951 Harold McDonald – 1951, 1955
