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.

4. Devon Smith (Essendon)

Devon Smith has happily stated that moving to the Bombers from the GWS Giants was the best move of his career -- and his stats can certainly back that statement up. Arguably the best recruit of the year, and quite possibly the club's best and fairest winner, the midfield pressure tackling machine has played every game this season and his progress at the Bombers has been phenomenal.

When it comes to securing a spot in the midfield of the 22, Smith is unlucky to miss out. Vital to Essendon's structure, his workrate, determination and aggression at the contest has transformed him into the main cog in the Dons' midfield.

The Bomber averaged 22 disposals, 8.5 tackles, 4.9 score involvements and 31. inside-50's per game. You could argue that his influence is greater than that of All-Australian Tiger Shane Edwards.
