With each new AFL season seeing rising stars stake their claim as the best in their respective position, the All-Australian team often welcomes some fresh faces for the first time.

A total of seven players earned their maiden All-Australian selections in 2024, with that number down from the 12 first-time selections made in both 2023 and 2022.

This year could see a rise in maiden All-Australians named in the final side, with some of the game's best still yet to be fitted for a blazer.

Here we've listed nine players yet to receive their first All-Australian selection who should come close in 2025.

2. Noah Anderson

The Suns ball magnet is one of several players from Carrara who have come close to a blazer in recent seasons and should again be in the running this year.

Anderson has been an All-Australian squad member the past two years, being a dominant presence in the middle of the field for Gold Coast.

Now entering his sixth season in the top flight, the 23-year-old is primed to reach new heights, especially as Gold Coast look to break through for a maiden finals series.

If not Anderson, partner-in-crime Matt Rowell and versatile midfielder Sam Flanders would also be worthy prospects for maiden blazers.
