Jack Viney, Rory Laird, George Hewett, Jack Steele and Ollie Wines were probably the most stiff of the other mids to miss out. And Jarman Impey, Aliir Aliir and Toby Nankervis also didn\u2019t quite make the cut.<\/p>\n
To be eligible, players must have been aged 30 or older prior to the new year (Christian Petracca was the only player currently 30 to miss out under this ruling).<\/p>\n
So with that, let\u2019s count down from 30 to one …<\/p>\n

30. CHARLIE CAMERON (BRISBANE LIONS)<\/p>\n
The gun small forward dropped off last year and has been on a decline since his All-Australian days. But consider this; he\u2019s still in that mold of a special, electric X-factor player with unique talents that can turn it on any time and change a coin-flip game with one or two moments. There\u2019s not many of those players going around and at least 12 other clubs crying out for a player of that ilk. Of course, speed kills in the modern game too and Cameron has that in spades. Would anyone be surprised if Charlie, 31, bounced back with 12 goals from his first three games next season?<\/p>\n
29. JARROD WITTS (GOLD COAST SUNS)<\/p>\n
A good old fashioned, bullocking ruckman and a force in the middle of the ground. You rarely see Witts beaten by his opponent and other rucks know they\u2019re going to be in for a tough slog of a day when they come up against the 33-year old Suns brute. Led the AFL in hit-outs and hit-outs to advantage in 2025. And while the value of that could be questioned, Witts perfectly supplements a star-studded midfield and gives silver platter service to the likes of Matt Rowell and Noah Anderson. <\/p>\n
28. MARK BLICAVS (GEELONG)<\/p>\n
The long-time Mr. Fix It for Chris Scott\u2019s Cats. Hard to recall there ever being a more versatile player that can contribute at an elite level in multiple areas and positions. Blicavs, 34, can play key defence, in the ruck, on the wing and just about everything in between and that in-game switchability is as valuable as anything. That flexibility to throw different things at the opposition has been such a trademark under Scott\u2019s coaching and Blicavs is the type of player that you could plug and play into every team and he\u2019d be additive. One of the game\u2019s great athletes that\u2019s helped him thrive for so long.<\/p>\n

27. KARL AMON (HAWTHORN)<\/p>\n
The value of clean and classy halfback like Amon in the modern game can\u2019t be understated. Ranked top five in metres gained and rebound 50s last season to help set slingshot the Hawks into attack mode. Seems to find a way to keep getting better every year including the 30-year old averaging a career-best 24 disposals per game last season as one of Hawthorn\u2019s best recruits in the Sam Mitchell coaching era.<\/p>\n
26. TAYLOR WALKER (ADELAIDE)<\/p>\n
No longer the cornerstone of Adelaide\u2019s forward line, but still capable of being its greatest weapon inside 50 on his day. the damaging Walker can still hit the scoreboard too including the 35-year old veteran coming off 39-goal season for the minor premiers. But he\u2019s equally valuable setting up others and one of the best field kicks among key forwards, with Walker ranked No. 8 in total goal assists last season. Just super crafty and the type of player who\u2019s overall impact can\u2019t be fully quantified.<\/p>\n
25. SCOTT PENDLEBURY (COLLINGWOOD)<\/p>\n
The champ\u2019s ability to freeze play on the field is an all-time trademark. And opposition still fall for his fakes and side steps ahead of year 21 as the 425-gamer closes in on the all-time games record. Those instincts and his pure smarts and footy IQ is why the evergreen Pendlebury, the oldest player in the competition who recently turned 38, is ageing like fine wine with an unrivalled, remarkable level of consistency. There might be other midfielders with better numbers or ones who excel more in certain areas. But you can\u2019t overstate the impact Pendlebury has had on winning across three decades as effectively an on-field coach and conductor that sets up Collingwood\u2019s structures like an NBA coach runs plays. In fact, if the Pies win more than six games next season, Pendlebury will have played in the second-most wins ever behind Michael Tuck.<\/p>\n

24. ROWAN MARSHALL (ST KILDA)<\/p>\n
One of the most underrated ruckmen in the game. What the 201cm gun lacks in size he makes up for with his ability to impact around the ground. No ruckman has recorded more disposals over the last three seasons and only Tristan Xerri has laid more tackles in a testament to Marshall\u2019s work rate. The 30-year old Saint\u2019s capacity to swing forward and hit the scoreboard is a key string to his bow, with only Tim English and Luke Jackson taking more shots at goal among ruckmen in season 2025.<\/p>\n
23. ALEX PEARCE (FREMANTLE)<\/p>\n
The Freo skipper is a super-dependable key defender that consistently gets the job done. Nothing fancy with the way he goes about it, but a perfect anchor (pardon the pun) to a back six. Pearce, 30, is coming off his three best intercept marking campaigns including a career-best 2.8 per game in 2025. Blossomed after a torrid injury run early in his career, including two broken legs and two broken arms.<\/p>\n
22. TOM BARRASS (HAWTHORN)<\/p>\n
A big reason for Hawthorn\u2019s much-improved defence last season that gave up the third-least scores. A reliable brick wall in defence that formed a great partnership with fellow 2025 recruit Josh Battle, with the pair and James Sicily averaging a combined 20.1 intercepts. Barrass, 30, also crucially put a bad run of injuries behind him, missing just one game in his first campaign in brown and gold. <\/p>\n

21. JACK GUNSTON (HAWTHORN)<\/p>\n
From one Hawk to another on opposite ends of the field. Coming off a career-best 73-goal season after revitalising his career in a second run with Hawthorn. Still looks physically in great nick and of the craftiest forwards in the game and one of the more reliable set shots. Y0u just can\u2019t write off the 34-year old, with his brief downturn when he moved to Brisbane the clear outlier in an otherwise brilliant career. A key member of those dynasty Hawks sides in the mid 2000s, capping off his legacy in the brown and gold with another flag some 10 years later would be some story. <\/p>\n
20. SAM COLLINS (GOLD COAST)<\/p>\n
Doesn\u2019t get the plaudits of other elite key defenders, but Collins is right up there with the best of them. Ranked second in the AFL last season in both intercept possessions and intercept marks, with only Sam Taylor ahead of him in both categories. The key pillar of a Suns defence that conceded the fifth-fewest scores last season. Reliable as the day is long and you rarely see the 31-year old get beaten. <\/p>\n

19. JAMIE ELLIOTT (COLLINGWOOD)<\/p>\n
Perhaps no player personifies 30 being the new 25 than Jamie Elliott. Had three of the best seasons of his career in 2022, 2023 and 2025 including the 33-year old coming off a personal best 60-goal campaign. It\u2019s rare to see a player hit peak form in their 30s, but the star Pies forward has done just that and put his wretched injury run behind him. A sharpshooter in front of goals that\u2019s constantly come up clutch for Craig McRae\u2019s side and can play tall and small. <\/p>\n
18. NICK VLASUTIN (RICHMOND)<\/p>\n
Can we get this man an All-Australian blazer already? The three-time flag defender has been one of the premier backs of the modern era. But despite the Tigers\u2019 slide in recent years, the 31-year old is still playing at a high level and capable of playing on \u2014 and beating \u2014 a variety opponents. Could well be coming off his best season yet; he ranked No. 4 in the AFL in intercepts and No. 11 in rebound 50s and averaged 19.1 disposals and 6.1 marks. Held up remarkably well against a high volume of opposition inside 50s as the leader of a back six that was constantly under the pump.<\/p>\n
17. TOM LIBERATORE (WESTERN BULLDOGS)<\/p>\n
Still such a valuable inside bull and clearance machine at age 33. The heartbeat of a stacked, star-studded Bulldogs midfield, when Liberatore is on, you feel like Luke Beveridge\u2019s engine room is at its best. There\u2019s a reason opposition teams at times go to the source and try shut down Liberatore inside the contest, instead of tagging Marcus Bontempelli. The star-father son product has more than lived up to the family name and would have to be one of the best players to never be an All-Australian. Top five in the Bulldogs\u2019 best and fairest in their 2016 premiership and 2021 grand final seasons.<\/p>\n

16. DARCY CAMERON (COLLINGWOOD)<\/p>\n
One of footy\u2019s great stories, from a NEAFL ruckman to Collingwood premiership star and best and fairest winner. The 30-year old has built his game around being one of the great intercepting rucks in a vital support piece to the Magpies\u2019 stingy defence. Ranked first among rucks in intercept marks in 2025 and fifth in the entire competition in contested marks. And with the new rule changes set to result in fewer ruck contests in 2026, that should only favour more athletic ruckmen that do their best work out around the ground like Cameron. <\/p>\n
15. BRODIE GRUNDY (SYDNEY SWANS)<\/p>\n
The ultimate competitor. The physical Grundy knows how to throw his weight around as a prototype bash and crash rucks who\u2019s among the leading clearance winners in the competition. And basically an extra midfielder at stoppages that constantly gets involved in link-up plays. The 31-year old has revived his career at Sydney including getting back to his All-Australian best heights in 2025, even if he didn\u2019t make the final 22-man side.<\/p>\n
14. PATRICK DANGERFIELD (GEELONG)<\/p>\n
Might have the most dominant, terrifying burst from stoppage the game\u2019s ever seen and remains a key feature of his game at age 35. Though Dangerfield played predominantly as a forward in 2025, he can still rip the heart out of the opposition in bursts through the midfield. What an ace up the sleeve for Chris Scott. It\u2019s the perfect role for Dangerfield as the ultimate X-factor player that can still take over games and be the best player on the ground. Booted 30 goals last season and ranked second in the league in goal assists. Plus, playing more forward has helped manage Dangerfield\u2019s body, with the Cats skipper playing 23 games in 2025 \u2014 the first time he\u2019s played 20 or more since 2020.<\/p>\n

13. JACK SINCLAIR (ST KILDA)<\/p>\n
A late bloomer in his career but one that\u2019s turned into an exceptionally good player. The halfback is super consistent and reliable with ball in hand. Racks up stacks of touches, having averaged over 27 disposals per game in each of the last four seasons. Despite Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera\u2019s epic breakout season in 2025 predominantly across halfback, Sinclair was barely effected. The 30-year old averaged 27 disposals per game, 3.6 inside 50s and 4.7 rebound 50s \u2014 good for the No. 2 rated defender on AFL Player Ratings behind only Wanganeen-Milera.<\/p>\n
12. LACHIE WHITFIELD (GWS GIANTS)<\/p>\n
The Giants ball magnet across half back personifies the Orange Tsunami. Whitfield routinely kicks that wave of ball movement into motion with his dazzling dash. The 31-year old is probably stiff not to have more than two All-Australian blazers as the premier halfback in the game across this decade playing for a perennial finalist. Especially unlucky to not at least make the AA squad in 2025 after he ranked No. in effective disposals per game and No. 8 in disposals per game.<\/p>\n
11. DAYNE ZORKO (BRISBANE LIONS)<\/p>\n
Somehow still seemingly underrated after a stellar 304-game career including a resurgence across half back during Brisbane\u2019s golden run in his mid 30s. And still going remarkably strong and arguably in career-best form as the second oldest player in the AFL at age 36. Just one of the most lethal, punishing kicks across half back, ranked No. 1 in the league last season in effective disposals, metres gained and inside 50s. Plus sixth in overall disposals and top 20 in intercepts. Plus Zorko has a certain mongrel about him that every good team needs as an ultra competitive agitator who plays on the edge.<\/p>\n

10. JAMES SICILY (HAWTHORN)<\/p>\n
Another fiery character but brilliant footballer. Sicily is the prototype modern-day key defender that can do it all. Versatile and can play on a variety of opponents yet also excels at zoning off and taking intercept marks, the Hawks skipper ranked fifth in intercepts last season. All with one of the most lethal boots going around. At times used as a swingman by Sam Mitchell, the Hawks have always been at their best when Sicily, 31, is playing the quarterback role behind the ball and controlling games from the defensive half. <\/p>\n
9. LACHIE NEALE (BRISBANE LIONS)<\/p>\n
It\u2019s clearly been a tumultuous off-season, so Neale goes into 2026 under adversity to cast a layer of doubt over what version of the dual Brownlow winner we\u2019re going to get. But you can\u2019t lose sight of what Neale can do on a footy field \u2014 underlined by that second half in the 2025 Grand Final. The 32-year old, akin to the training app headed by Neale, Patrick Cripps and Tom Mitchell, has been one of the competition\u2019s most dominant ball magnets of the modern era; he\u2019s averaged 28.7 disposals across his last 11 seasons. A guy you\u2019d want in your side when it counts most.<\/p>\n
8. TOM STEWART (GEELONG)<\/p>\n
Yes, another defender. Who says they don\u2019t get love? Fair to say the Cats missed this bloke a ton on grand final day. Even if he didn\u2019t have his best season but was disrupted by a knee issue. There\u2019s a reason the 32-year old has emerged as popular tag target for opposition sides against Geelong in recent years. Though not a traditional key back, Stewart might be the best defender of the decade, with his ability to impact games defensively and then counter attack such an important weapon for Chris Scott\u2019s team and point of difference in the competition at large. A remarkable five All-Australians from his first seven AFL seasons as one of the all-time great mature-age recruit success stories.<\/p>\n

7. JESSE HOGAN (GWS GIANTS)<\/p>\n
An elite key forward is worth its weight in gold. What a career resurgence at Western Sydney for Hogan and one of football\u2019s great comeback stories. Restricted by a foot injury in 2025, Hogan still bagged 46 goals from 16 games 12 months on from his career-best, Coleman Medal campaign. He\u2019s led GWS\u2019 goalkicking in each of those last two seasons and has finally lived up to his enormous potential. The 196cm star, who turns 31 next month, is crucially one of the most accurate set shots in the competition and as dominant a key forward as there is that be vital to the Giants\u2019 flag hopes in 2026.<\/p>\n
6. TOBY GREENE (GWS GIANTS)<\/p>\n
There\u2019s not been many forwards \u2014 or players \u2014 quite like Toby Greene. The mercurial star, 32, is the definition of a match winner who only needs a moment to change a game. And his career arc from being a pesky AFL villain to one of the most respected stars tells you about his standing in the game. While the likes of Tom Green and Finn Callaghan have emerged as blossoming stars for the Giants, their X-factor skipper arguably remains their most important player who\u2019ll go down as the club\u2019s greatest player.<\/p>\n
5. PATRICK CRIPPS (CARLTON)<\/p>\n
They don\u2019t come much more explosive and physically imposing than Patrick Cripps. When the Carlton skipper goes into beast mode, he\u2019s nearly impossible to stop. You\u2019ve lost count of the amount of times the dual Brownlow medallist has put the Blues on his back and just about single-handedly willed them to victory. Coming off a slightly down year by his lofty standards but the star midfielder, who turns 31 in March, remains as valuable as any midfielder in the game when he\u2019s at his best. And one of the game\u2019s great leaders.<\/p>\n

4. MAX GAWN (MELBOURNE)<\/p>\n
The 209cm monster is still the best ruckman in the competition. It\u2019s no longer a debate, despite the likes of Brodie Grundy and Tristan Xerri at times pressing their claims. And perhaps even the ruck GOAT … certainly of his generation. You wouldn\u2019t know Gawn is 34 with how dominant he still is on an AFL field and the way he can still control a game. Some of the safest hands in the business, with Gawn ranked No. 1 in contested marks in 2025. Coming off an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer \u2014 a feat Gawn shares with Robert Harvey, Mark Ricciuto, Gary Ablett Jr., Lance Franklin and Patrick Dangerfield. Some reasonable company there. Win another one in 2026 and Gawn would set the all-time record with nine. <\/p>\n
3. ZACH MERRETT (ESSENDON)<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a reason Merrett\u2019s non-trade was such a big story. One of the sharpest, classiest midfielders in the game that would\u2019ve been in the thick of the All-Australian discussion last year, if not for Essendon\u2019s capitulation in an injury year from hell. And the 30-year old remains a vital piece in the Bombers midfield for an otherwise inexperienced group. So you can understand why the Bombers dug their heels in a trade, despite his demotion as captain and from the leadership group at large. His commitment to both sides of the ball is what really sets him apart from others.<\/p>\n

2. JEREMY CAMERON (GEELONG)<\/p>\n
A career-best season for Jeremy Cameron in 2025 including 88 goals to claim his second Coleman Medal and All-Australian captaincy honours. The 32-year old is probably still the premier key forward in the AFL. And he\u2019s a truly one-of-a-kind key forward of that with athleticism to play tall and small that makes him a nightmare matchup. Just about everything \u2018Jezza\u2019 touches turns to gold, with the superstar ranked first in the AFL in score involvements last season. The year unfortunately didn\u2019t end the way Geelong or Cameron wanted to, however, with the gun goalkicker suffering a broken arm in the heavy grand final loss to Brisbane.<\/p>\n
1. MARCUS BONTEMPELLI (WESTERN BULLDOGS)<\/p>\n
Who else but? No major surprises here with arguably the best player in the AFL at large, you don\u2019t need a few sentences to be reminded how good Marcus Bontempelli is. There\u2019s simply not many players you\u2019d rather have in the trenches with you than \u2018Bont\u2019, who can do it all and his stats and resume reflects as much. Now if we can just get a Brownlow Medal around the champion\u2019s neck. The smooth-moving superstar, who turned 30 last November, is coming off another brilliant All-Australian season where he again did everything in his power for the Dogs. A dynamo through the midfield that crucially creates scores; Bontempelli booted 21 goals from his 18 games last season and ranked fourth in the comp in goal assists and 15th in score involvements. What a superstar.<\/p>\n
