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.
9. Jason Horne-Francis
The Power young gun earned his maiden All-Australian squad selection last year, and was seen as a viable chance for a final team spot by some.
Horne-Francis' second half of last year saw him quickly become a headache for the opposition with his contested work in the middle of the ground and ability to rest as a deep forward.
Horne-Francis averaged 22.0 disposals, 10.4 contested possessions, 5.7 clearances, 7.5 score involvements, 4.8 inside 50s and 1.1 goals per game in just his third season in the league, with those numbers likely to be bested this year.
Port Adelaide have managed solid All-Australian numbers of the past few seasons, having at least one player selected in the past five and multiple selections in four of those.
