The 2013 All-Australian team represents the best performed Australian Football League (AFL) players during the 2013 season. It was announced on 16 September as a complete Australian rules football team of 22 players.[1] The team is honorary and does not play any games.
The selection panel for the 2013 All-Australian team consisted of chairman Andrew Demetriou, Mark Evans, Kevin Bartlett, Luke Darcy, Danny Frawley, Glen Jakovich, Mark Ricciuto and Cameron Ling.
At the conclusion of the 2013 AFL home and away season, a provisional squad of 40 players was chosen. The most controversial omissions were Tom Liberatore, who led the league for clearances, Steve Johnson and Pearce Hanley, as well as no selections from finalists Richmond or Carlton.[2] 25 players in the squad had not previously been selected in an All-Australian team.[3]
Geelong had the most selections, with four players. Geelong captain Joel Selwood was announced as the All-Australian captain and Gold Coast star Gary Ablett Jr. was announced as vice-captain.
