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.

4. Andrew Brayshaw

The Fremantle midfielder has developed into a star in the Dockers' engine room, averaging a career-high 28.4 disposals per game.

His elite ball-winning ability is sure to catch the eyes of All-Australian selectors, and he's in an up and coming Fremantle side that will look to contend for finals in 2022.

The return of Nat Fyfe from injury may be beneficial for Brayshaw in the engine room, as Fyfe is set to receive attention from the opposition, leaving Brayshaw to be as damaging as he was in 2021.

If Brayshaw can reproduce his 2021 campaign, there should be no surprise if he's named on the midfield line or interchange in the All-Australian team for 2022.
