AFL.com and it’s opinion thus far.
Do you agree?
I must say, Brad Sheppards inclusion warms my cockles.
What are your thoughts?
Jack Darling
Showed signs last year of his newfound maturity and has gone to another level, playing career-best football as the Eagles' main man in attack. Leads the AFL for contested marks (31), is third in the Coleman Medal race (28 goals) and right in the hunt for a maiden All Australian berth.
Andrew Gaff
Ball magnet is averaging 30 disposals (No.10 in the AFL) and is playing more inside midfield, but has become more damaging this season. With seven goals, Gaff is on track for a career-best tally (previously 11 in 2015). All Australian in 2015.
Shannon Hurn
Ranked second in the competition for kicks (201) and his disposal efficiency is through the roof at 87.3 per cent. Whenever he has the ball good things happen for the Eagles and, at this stage, Hurn should be an All Australian lock and possible captain.
Jeremy McGovern
Started the season a touch slowly by his lofty standards, but the dual All Australian has had some outstanding patches within games and sits second for contested marks (29) and equal sixth for marks (78).
Nic Naitanui
Anyone doubting Naitanui's influence only needs to compare West Coast in 2018 to last year. The 201cm big man transforms the Eagles' midfield, and has won the 11th-most hit-outs despite only playing 58 per cent game time coming back from his knee reconstruction. Was All Australian in 2012.
Brad Sheppard
The eternally underrated backman is hardly ever beaten despite regularly being given the toughest job on the opposition's most dangerous small forward. Numbers don't do justice for Sheppard, who has never been All Australian.
Elliot Yeo
After a breakout season stationed mainly across half-back, Yeo has answered the call moving into midfield and is averaging career-best disposal (24.3), contested ball (12.5) and tackle (6.0) numbers. A chance to earn back-to-back All Australian gongs. – Travis King
