We have already had our 2021 All-Australian team predicted, and now we have shifted our gaze to the names that could find themselves being tailored for a gaudy jacket by season's end.

Some of this group have lengthy resumes and can count themselves rigor mortis stiff not to have already cracked a nomination for the national side. Whilst others are budding stars, set to once again put their best feet forward.

From the dubious to the near on locks, here are the 10 players that appear best placed to end 2021 with their first All-Australian selection.

As always, let us know who we have missed.

2. Lachie Hunter

Like the pair before him, we have also named Lachie Hunter to earn his maiden All-Australian jacket in 2021.

Akin to Menegola, due to Bulldog's myriad of other stars in the engine room, apart from 2018, the father-son pick is often forgotten when awards night rolls around.

Despite starting his 2020 season late due to off-field indiscretions, the Fantasy favourite made up for this delay by dominating in his 10 outings in a red, white and blue guernsey.

Although his teammate Jack Macrae is one of the incumbent AA wingers, we have the son of a son of the โ€˜Scray replacing his fellow member of the club's 2012 Draft class this year.
