With one round remaining, the auditions for the 2019 Virgin Australia AFL All Australian team are almost over and AFL Media's Sarah Black has cast her eye over Richmond's contenders for this year's 40-man squad.
THANK YOU Join us at Sunday's Round 23 'Thank you Tiger Army' match against the Brisbane Lions
Dylan Grimes
As an attacking key back, Grimes is now in the position of forcing opponents to come to him, rather than the other way around. Intercepts at will and is the fulcrum of Richmond's defence.
Bachar Houli
Has had a very consistent season and is in career-best form at the age of 31. Houli is averaging 28 disposals and five rebound 50s off half-back from 18 games this year.
Tom Lynch (One-time All Australian)
May not make the cut for the final side but is currently sitting third in the Coleman medal with 53 goals for the year. Has been a strong focal point up forward and excellent in the wet.
Dustin Martin (Three-time All Australian)
After a relatively slow start to the year, Martin has hit full-steam and is in excellent touch. Hasn't hit the scoreboard much but is averaging 27 touches and has had several match-winning games.
Dion Prestia
Arguably Prestia's best season of his career. An uninterrupted pre-season has done wonders, with the inside midfielder averaging 27 touches, seven score involvements and five clearances a game.
