The AFL wishes to advise the All-Australian selection panel has confirmed the squad of 44 players that is in contention for selection for the 2023 AFL All-Australian Team.

The All-Australian selectors were asked to select 44 players, to recognise the leading players across all parts of the field – forwards, defenders and midfielders/rucks. This year is the first in the 18 team era, where all clubs have had at least one player represented in the 44 player squad.

Nick Larkey is North Melbourne's sole representative, with the key forward rewarded for his career-best 71-goal season which saw him finish third in the Coleman Medal race.

The final team of 22, as per the criteria established in 2007, will be selected as if to play a match. The team will be named on Wednesday, 30 August, as part of the AFL Awards.

The full list of club representation was – Adelaide Crows (two), Brisbane Lions (four), Carlton (three), Collingwood (five), Essendon (three), Fremantle (three), Geelong Cats (one), Gold Coast SUNS (one), GWS GIANTS (three), Hawthorn (three), Melbourne (two), North Melbourne (one), Port Adelaide (three), Richmond (one), St Kilda (three), Sydney Swans (two), West Coast Eagles (one) and Western Bulldogs (three).
