With each new AFL season seeing rising stars stake their claim as the best in their respective position, the All-Australian team often welcomes some fresh faces for the first time.
A total of seven players earned their maiden All-Australian selections in 2024, with that number down from the 12 first-time selections made in both 2023 and 2022.
This year could see a rise in maiden All-Australians named in the final side, with some of the game's best still yet to be fitted for a blazer.
Here we've listed nine players yet to receive their first All-Australian selection who should come close in 2025.
6. Sam Collins
Stunningly, 2024 was the first year Collins was selected in the All-Australian squad, with the Suns stopper ranking among the game's best defenders for some time now.
Collins ranked as one of the best backmen in the game for intercepts and one-on-one contests, with his prospects for a blazer last year as worthy as the other key defenders selected.
Carlton's Jacob Weitering finally broke through for a maiden selection in 2024, with 2025 potentially the year Collins follows suit after seasons of dominance down back.
There's a good chance he could be pipped by one of his own teammates, with fellow Suns talls Mac Andrew and Charlie Ballard also worthy contenders for maiden All-Australian selections.
