Is anyone able to clarify what the official record for most All Australian selections actually is? The AA Wikipedia page and a number of other sources I have read state that the record is held by Harvey, Ricciuto and Ablett Jnr, with 8 apiece, but the AFL website and other media outlet claim that with tonight's selection Ablett Jnr "joins his father Gary Snr and four other players with eight selections. Five players have nine." Which information is correct? Are afl.com.au counting VFL Team of the Year selections or something else I'm missing? And do the official records consider the All Australian team a continuation of the carnival era, as suggested by wiki and others?
