Did the selectors get it right? Who was lucky to make it? Who was stiff to miss?

The Saints star is one of the best one-on-one defenders in the competition, but also kickstarts the club's ball movement from the backline.
Wilkie has lost 20 per cent of 1v1s from 59 contests, which is better than Harris Andrews (28.1 per cent) and Sam Collins (24.6 per cent).
He's also involved in the most scores of any key defender in the competition, and sits mid-tier for intercept marks and possessions.
