FOUR GEELONG PLAYERS IN AFL ALL AUSTRALIAN SIDE
Ben Jensen 18 September 2013

By Ben Jensen twitter.com/thecattery FOUR GEELONG players have made the 2013 AFL All Australian side, led by Joel Selwood who was named skipper. Corey Enright made his fifth All Aussie side named in a back pocket after a great season, likewise Harry Taylor was rewarded for his performances, named at centre half back. Andrew Mackie made it through on the bench to round out the selections.

Former Geelong great Gary Ablett was named for the seventh consecutive year, a record. Ablett first made All Australian in the Cats' breakthrough 2007 season and has been a regular fixture in the side ever since. Ablett was named vice captain to Selwood.

Jeremy Cameron was named at full forward and is the first ever player from Greater Western Sydney to make the side, picked ahead of Coleman Medallist Jarryd Roughead who was named in a forward pocket.

There was some chatter about Hawthorn's Luke Hodge missing out but realistically he was far from dominant this season when you look at who was selected ahead of him in the back half. Will Minson was named as first ruck, the first time the Bulldog has made it to the team of the year.
