Kelly had another impressive season in the midfield and will be looking to secure his second All-Australian call up, while Taylor has not previously been selected. Playing in 21 games this season, Kelly led the GIANTS from the front averaging 26.7 disposals, 14 kicks and 12.6 handballs a game, including kicking nine goals along the way.
An All-Australian jacket would be a fitting reward for Taylor who has been in career best form this year and has quickly emerged as one of the best defenders in the game. In 2022, he led the league in total intercepts and intercepts per game, ranked second in spoils, and averaged 15.2 disposals – playing in all 23 games for the GIANTS.
The final team of 22 will be selected as if to play a match and will be named on Wednesday, 24 August, as part of the AFL Awards.
