The All-Australian blazer is a coveted honour to be acknowledged in the best 22 of the season, and 2022 brings up a new opportunity for some first-timers to obtain an AA nod.

Whether they've been unlucky to not make it in the past, or are up and coming and poised to break out this year, here are 10 players who are most likely to become a first-time All-Australian in 2022.

The Port Adelaide livewire is an exciting young talent and landed a spot on the All-Australian squad of 40 in 2020.

The 21-year old's 2021 campaign was limited due to a string of injuries that saw him only play seven games.

According to reports, Butters has been flying on the track this pre-season and is set to see more midfield minutes in 2022.

If he can be as damaging as he was in 2020 in both the midfield and as a high half-forward, then expect the green and gold blazer to be coming his way come season's end.
