It's an honour that always drums up water cooler chat and incites comment section fracas'.
Each year's All-Australian team is designed to reward individual excellence and one's play, relative to those who are deployed in the same position.
While it's a lineup usually littered with the game's biggest names, lesser lights who chart a path to a blazer each year make for some of the best stories.
Who are a few doing just that, with this season now beyond its halfway junction? Take a look!

This versatile Giant is 13th in the AFL for Player Rating points, per Wheelo Ratings.
He impacts winning football, when his body allows him to. He'll need a seamless run with injury in the back half of the year to further mount his case, having only managed eight games of a possible 13 to date this season, but he's a genuine shout.
He's rapid, tough, tackles with ferocity, impacts scoring and can win his own ball. One of Kingsley's favourite magnets, and the man has said as much himself.
If his availability can steer the Giants towards the Wildcard places after a mixed bag of results to start their campaign, expect “Binga” to be in the mix for a blazer, as one astute writer flagged in the pre-season.
