Nice work on the tables Morbius; can I suggest that we have them in reverse chronological order, i.e. 2005, 2004, 2003 etc? Grant65 (Talk) 12:08, September 5, 2005 (UTC)

Fine by me.--The Brain of Morbius 12:32, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think there should be a list of the most All-Australian guernseys, in a quick count I think the top few are: Ricciutio (8), Carey, Harvey, Buckley (7), Pavlich, Cousins, Brad Johnson (6).

Should it be mentioned that Fraser Gehrig didnt make the 2005 team in spite of winning the Coleman Medal? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.245.148.53 (talk) 04:57, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Depends on how rare an occurance it is I suppose. Scotty Cummings missed the AA team in 1999 when he won the Coleman and Fev is a chance of winning the medal this year but isn't expected to be in the AA team. Not as rare as a Brownlow Medalist missing the team like in 2000 but I reckon it's still worse a mention. Jevansen (talk) 04:57, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can I ask why, for example, there is no 1990 All-Australian Team listed here? I know there were a number of methods of selecting the teams (ie. from the Carnival until 1988) but the 1990 team (and others) are officially listed on the AFL website (http://stats.afl.com.au/public/statistics/all_Australian/all_Australian_1990.shtml?season_idIndex=18&AFLstatisticMenu=1).

In the publications I have, the 1990 team is called the 'AFL Team of the Year', as opposed to an All-Australian team. Such teams were selected in all but one season from 1982 to 1990. Four of those years coincided with a carnival, so two seperate teams were named. I'm not sure whether both are considered All-Australian or not but I reckon we could at least make a section listing these teams like we have done with the Sporting Life Team of the Year.

Yes, same here - the 1982 to 1990 VFL/AFL Teams of the Year are listed in publications too, but clearly marked as separate sections away from the official All-Australian teams. Personally I'd prefer the Sporting Life teams and the VFL/AFL teams to be in a separate article clearly indicating they were unofficial, thus leaving the All Australian sides as they are meant to be - the official AA teams.

I just think that if it is 'official' enough to be listed as the All-Australian team on the AFL website, then it should be good enough for Wikipedia. No? Hoever06 (talk) 01:29, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Origin of the Concept[edit]

The Article currently states that the origin was Sporting Life Magazine..but I do not believe that this is so. There was discussion about the concept at the 1947 Carnival and at least one journo published an All Australian Team based on that Carnival. The concept was discussed by the ANFC with the concept originating for the USA.

See All-Australian Football Team. (1947, July 16). The Mercury (Hobart, Tas. : 1860 - 1954), p. 24. Retrieved August 22, 2013, from http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article26413694 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Miketheriley (talk • contribs) 11:58, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
