Minor premiers Geelong have been rewarded for an outstanding AFL season by having five players named in the All-Australian team
Collingwood’s Nick Daicos honoured as AFL’s Rising Star
It is the evergreen goal-kicker’s fifth All-Australian selection, while breakout Geelong teammate Tyson Stengle was named beside Hawkins in a forward pocket. Stengle has been a revelation in his first year at Geelong, playing all 22 games and kicking 46 goals to top up a lethal forward line with Hawkins and fellow star Jeremy Cameron.After gaining two All-Australian selections at GWS in 2013 and 2019, Cameron was picked at centre-half-forward in his second season with Geelong.
Collingwood young gun Nick Daicos was predictably honoured as the AFL’s Rising Star, claiming 60 votes to finish ahead of Geelong defender Sam De Koning. Daicos, the son of Magpies legend Peter, was considered unlucky not to be named in the All-Australian squad of 44 after playing every game in his debut season.
