The Giants captain has continued his rise to a leader in the competition with the prestigious honour. Collingwood’s Daicos brothers were also named in the 2023 side.
Collingwood’s Daicos brothers, Nick and Josh, have begun a potential September to remember for the Magpies with selection in this year’s All Australian team, as Toby Greene completed his transition from bad boy to dux of the class.
Western Bulldogs fan favourite Tom Liberatore, Richmond champion Dustin Martin and Harris Andrews were the hard luck stories, left out of a side with representation from 15 of the 18 clubs. Nick’s All-Australian selection continues an already prosperous awards season that has netted him captaincy of the AFL Players Association’s 22under22. He is also the favourite in some markets to win the game’s most prestigious individual award, the Brownlow Medal.But it is the premiership medallion Daicos senior won on the first Saturday of October in 1990 that is the prize Nick and Josh want the most.
Nick was named as rover in a centre-square combination alongside Port Adelaide star Zak Butters and Bontempelli, while Bulldogs big man Tim English ended Max Gawn’s five-year run in the All Australian team.Reflecting the status on-ballers have in the modern game, midfielders Christian Petracca and Connor Rozee were named as half-forwards ahead of players who have spent more time in attack, such as Martin.
Serong, the Dockers’ young star, was preferred ahead of him on the bench, possibly due to his more even spread of contested to uncontested possessions. Dawson and Merrett claimed two other positions on the bench in side loaded with midfield talent.
