Only five players have earned more All Australian selections: Craig Bradley, Stephen Kernahan, Simon Madden, John Platten and Paul Roos were all crowned nine times.

Mark Ricciuto (eight), Andrew McLeod (five), Simon Goodwin (five), Ben Hart (four), Tony Modra (two), Shaun Rehn (two), Nigel Smart (two), Tony McGuinness (two) and Patrick Dangerfield (two). Darren Jarman was selected once as a Crow (1996) and twice during his Hawthorn career.
