Final team
Note: the position of coach in the All-Australian team is traditionally awarded to the coach of the premiership team.
West Coast midfielder Matt Priddis won that year's Brownlow Medal, but didn't make the final All-Australian team. It was the first time this had happened since Melbourne midfielder Shane Woewodin missed selection in 2000.
