Roarers, the AFL will name their All-Australian team tomorrow night, but before that happens, we want to beat them to the punch by naming The Roar’s DIY 2016 AFL All-Australian team – and we need your help.

Below is a form where you can pick your best 22 from the 2016 AFL season. You must pick exactly 22 players – no more, no less. So choose wisely, then hit that button! We’ll total up the results and publish them tomorrow morning.

The players listed are the All-Australian squad of 40 as named by the AFL, along with a write-in option should you wish to nominate a player who was not named in the squad.

You’re free to make your selections by whatever criteria you deem most appropriate. It is, after all, a DIY team!

Voting has closed. Thanks for voting!

Just while I’ve got you here, I might as well drop in with my own hand-picked 22 for this year. It is objectively correct and cannot possibly be argued with… *wink*.

Josh Elliott’s 2016 All-Australian Team
B: Dane Rampe, Daniel Talia, Alex Rance
HB: Heath Shaw, Jeremy McGovern, Sam Docherty
C: Nick Riewoldt, Josh P Kennedy, Tom Scully
HF: Cyril Rioli, Lance Franklin, Toby Greene
F: Eddie Betts, Josh J Kennedy, Tom J Lynch
Fol: Max Gawn, Patrick Dangerfield, Dustin Martin
Int: Rory Sloane, Luke Parker, Marcus Bontempelli, Dan Hannebery

Captain: Nick Riewoldt
Vice-captain: Tom J Lynch

Some tough choices to be made but I reckon these are the best 22 players of the season. Commiserations to Robbie Tarrant and Jack Steven who were the hardest to leave out of the lot.
