Every season a number of a top calibre AFL names are unlucky enough to miss out on All-Australian honours.

You can't please everybody, especially when the already much-debated squad of 40 is trimmed back to a lean 22.

But this year some big guns missed out, so it was only fitting that we made a list of the biggest snubs.

Here are Zero Hanger's Top 10 All-Australian Snubs for 2018.

6. Tom Hawkins (Geelong)

The 'Tomahawk' enjoyed a damaging season as the premier forward at Geelong. Through the past decade Hawkins has cemented himself as one of the modern best, despite just having just one All-Australian honour in 2012, when he won the Cats' best and fairest to go alongside his two flags.

Only two key position forwards have been included in this year's 22 - Jack Riewoldt and Lance Franklin, and Hawkins exclusion might be one of the more heavily questioned finals decisions.

The power forward played 20 games in 2018. He had 205 kicks, 146 marks (7th in the AFL) average 10.2 kicks, 7.3 marks and 58 goals (3rd in the AFL) 29 behinds and 38 tackles.
