Geelong could have three first-time All-Australians when this year’s team is announced on Tuesday night.
Despite missing the final five rounds through injury, speedster Max Holmes is in contention after being in the extended squad in the previous two years, while young defender Connor O’Sullivan and wingman Ollie Dempsey have been named in the squad for the first time.
Gun midfielder Bailey Smith is looking to repeat his 2025 selection.
Geelong is one of only five clubs to have four or more players in the squad. Fremantle has eight in contention, including former Cat Jordan Clark.
