But the omission of Daicos is, for that reason, even more bizarre, given he had what some experts are saying may have been the best first-year season in the game's recent history. "The list of players in the wider squad was expanded to ensure it recognised elite performers across the home and away season," an AFL statement read. Collingwood young gun Nick Daicos has been snubbed from a 44-man All-Australian squad named for the 2022 season.

After outstanding individual seasons, Josh Kelly and Sam Taylor have been named in the 2022 Australia All Australian squad.

He also ranked fourth across the league for time on field. An All-Australian jacket would be a fitting reward for Taylor who has been in career best form and has quickly emerged as one of the best defenders in the game. 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.
