ALL-AUSTRALIAN STATS

BACKS

Rory Laird — 3rd for disposals, 2nd for intercept possessions

Alex Rance — No. 1 for intercept possessions, 2nd for intercept marks

Tom Stewart — Elite for intercept possessions and marks

HALF-BACKS

Shannon Hurn — Elite for metres gained and intercept marks

Jeremy McGovern — No. 1 for intercept marks, 5th for intercept possessions

James Sicily — 3rd for intercept possessions and 7th for metres gained

CENTRES

Tom Phillips — 3rd wingman for disposals, 3rd for metres gained

Jack Macrae — 2nd for disposals, 7th for contested possessions

Andrew Gaff — No. 1 wingman for disposals and No. 1 for score involvements

HALF-FORWARDS

Jack Darling — No. 1 for contested marks and 3rd for goals

Lance Franklin — 4th for goals a game, 2nd for score involvements

Dustin Martin — No. 1 for score involvements and 2nd for score assists

Martin hasn’t been the consistent breathtaking midfielder he was 2017, but when you’re No. 1 for score involvements, No. 2 for score assists and average the most goals of any midfielder, you’ve earned your spot at the halfway mark. He’s 75-25 midfield-forward split and that’s good enough for a half-forward flank.

FORWARDS

Josh Caddy- No. 1 mid-forward for goals and 2nd for score involvements

Ben Brown — No. 1 for goals and above average for marks inside 50

Luke Breust — No. 1 for ground ball gets inside 50 and 6th for score involvements

RUCKS

Brodie Grundy — No. 1 ruckman for disposals, clearances and 2nd for score involvements

Nat Fyfe — 2nd for contested possessions and sixth for disposals

Tom Mitchell — No. 1 for disposals and clearances, 3rd for ground ball gets

INTERCHANGE

Clayton Oliver — No. 1 for ground ball gets, 5th for pressure points and clearances

Trent Cotchin — Fifth for ground ball gets, 2nd midfielder for score assists

Patrick Cripps — No. 1 for contested possessions, 2nd for ground ball-gets

Jesse Hogan — No. 1 key forward for disposals, 4th for score involvements

Josh Caddy
Leads the Tigers' goalkicking and is equal fourth in the competition with 27 from nine games, including 10 over the last two matches. Would have to be in line for his first All Australian gig after carrying on with his late 2017 form and proving himself as a dual midfield/forward line threat.

Trent Cotchin
Will be up there in Brownlow voting at the season's midpoint after a typically consistent start to the year. Missed one game with knee soreness but has averaged more than 24 disposals across 10 games and is third at the Tigers for tackles.

Dustin Martin
Started the year with a bang. His form tapered off slightly around the round eight mark but it's hard to be too critical given the lofty standards he set for himself in his remarkable 2017. Is the Tigers' leading possession winner and has had the most scoring involvements in the League.

Alex Rance
This week's diving incident aside, the defender is on track for his fifth consecutive All Australian honour after an impressive start to 2018. Easily leads the competition for intercepts and is fourth for one-percenters, having again led the Tigers' strong defence.

Shane Edwards???

Baffling after a week of the media talking him up as underappreciated and having a career best season, they omit him from this list.....

[Darth Tiger]

Cant believe I'm going to put this into print ..... I agree with Slobbo

Not much wrong with that side for the first half of the season.

Here's the AFL website's All-Australian side. Rance (FB), Caddy (HF) & Dusty (INT) in it.

and yet has more one on one contests than any other Key defender in the comp - these nuffies just listen to other misinformed supporters and think its gospel. Rance has had 2-3 poor games where he got beaten by an opponent but has had 6-7 very good games as well. Is also top or near top for intercept marks so he does both play one on one and also intercept - he's a freak

OMG, Garry Lyon and I have found a little piece of common ground.

Jack Riewoldt has been outstanding this year.

I reckon he is our best AA prospect at the moment.

Matthew Lloyd now has 5 Tigers in his All-Australian side - Rance, Dusty, Jack, Caddy and Grimes.
