With the increase of potent left footers in the AFL over the past decade, Zero Hanger believe it's time to reward the lefties, as we've named our All-Australian side made up entirely of left footers.

It was much harder than we thought to come up with our 22-man squad, with some very talented players missing out.

Let us know how we went with our side, and feel free to comment your best 22 below!

Back

The back line was quite straight forward to select, with premiership players Harry Taylor and Josh Gibson joined by 2016 All-Australian defender Dane Rampe.

Half-back

Hawthorn continue to stamp their dominance in our back six, with Grant Birchall and former skipper Luke Hodge either side of new Gold Coast co-captain Steven May.

We've gone with a young centre line but that doesn't take away from just how good these players are, Melbourne co-captain Jack Viney (22yo) alongside Dons skipper Dyson Heppell (24) and 2015 All-Australian midfielder Andrew Gaff (24).

Half-forward

The four-time premiership player has been named as the vice-captain of our All-Australian squad, and has been joined on the half-forward line by Chad Wingard and Jeremy Cameron.

Todd Goldstein (NM) - Scott Pendlebury (c) (Coll) - Marcus Bontempelli (WB)

Scott Pendlebury has been named the captain of our side, and is one of the best left footers the competition has seen in years. Todd Goldstein is a well deserved selection in the ruck, while young gun Marcus Bontempelli takes the final spot on the field.

Two West Coast players and two Sydney players round out our All-Australian side, as all four players occupy important midfield positions for their team.
