Justin Koschitzke never managed an All-Australian. Had a few seasons where he might have come into consideration given his kp/ruck versatility but from 2002-07 he never managed more than 19 games in a season and never quite looked the same thereafter as a post-Gehrig Lyon-era forward.

Buddy Franking to captain the side of blokes to have never been all Australian
you know it makes sense

Poor bloke was never the same after Jack Silvagni roughed him up that time...

I see others have corrected this and said he has one. Should have several. Gun player
Respectfully disagree. He had an enormous block of 4 consecutive games where he dominated. And never did anything after or before that.
AA shouldnt be graphed in one month of football in close to a 200 game career.(dont know exactly how many he played)
But a prime example of someone who should never have been remotely considered for AA.

Garry Lyon never said thatPretty unfair - Garry Lyon actually considered him to be the best PLAYER in the game at one point:
Lyon’s left-field choice for best player in the game
Garry Lyon says North Melbourne defender Robbie Tarrant is the most unheralded player in the AFL, nominating him as his left-field choice for the best player in the competition.www.sen.com.au

Matt Priddis won the 2014 Brownlow but he didnt make All Australian that season (IIRC)

Bloody oaf. But one month does not a swallow make. Or a lumbering zombie.
Garry Lyon speaks the truth always and is beyond moral investigation.Garry Lyon never said that

Ask anyone. Even a mate called billy if you have one.

I'm not saying he should have been made AA, or that he was the best player never to make it, just throwing big names out there. Won a Rising Star, was a #2 pick, had a media presence, kicked 40+ during the 2009 Saints season, was in that 2009 AFL ad, the injuries & unco, the live air faint, etc. He was...unusual (repeat that last line in a knowing Bruce tone).
FYI - that period was mid 2005 from memory. Him, Pavlich and Cousins were all in supreme form then. The AFL Record in about Round 17 was going nuts about him.

So we agree then. He was far and away from ever being condsidered as AA.
Unless we envoke the matt Rowell principle.
Which also didnt happen.
Love talking AA. Its one of the most subjective topics in footy and I still dont understand why people get upset.

Shane Woewodin too.
Lucky Brownlow win, sure, but still had a hell of a year and definitely worth of AA.

doesn't spend enough time in the guts to be considered an AA wing

Nathan Foley. Arguably second bog in the soo game. Injury cut him down just as he was hitting his peak. I reckon he'd have gotten one or two.

Yeah Tarrant for mine.
Still feel it's wild Walters only has one, he's felt around 1-3 in the small forwards I'd take to play for my life each season for the past 5-6 now. Maybe suffers from having to play midfield so much, but then again mids get picked as forwards all the time, why not pick a genuine mid/fwd

Wrong Tarrant...
From Freo: Roger Hayden. Only made the squad in 2007. But sadly missed a lot footy through injury.
And of course: Kepler Bradley.
Kepler and Clive should always be AA. Even before and after they played.

Wait a minute, sumich never made the AA side? He kicked like 111 goals one year and didn't get looked at?
Andrew Embleys 2006 was decent. Kicked 31 goals and 19 behinds from the wing. Surprised he didn't get in the AA team around that 2005-7 period
