2009 AFL Under-18 All-Australian team[]

The 2009 Under-18 All-Australian team was announced following the conclusion of the 2009 AFL Under 18 Championships on 4 July 2009.[2] The sponsored name of the squad is the 2009 NAB AFL Under-18 All-Australian team,[2] due to sponsorship arrangements with the National Australia Bank (NAB). The team was selected by a panel which was chaired by the AFL national talent manager Kevin Sheehan, and consisted of Alan McConnell and Jason McCartney from the AFL, as well as recruiters Matt Rendell, , and Francis Jackson.[2] The championship-winning Western Australia earned the most selections, with nine of the 22 selections,[2] as well as the coach position in the team.[2] Both the Larke Medallists, David Swallow (WA) and Andrew Hooper (Victoria Country), and the Hunter-Harrison Medallist, Dylan McNeil (NSW/ACT), were selected for the squad.[2] Seventeen of the 22 players in the side were eligible for the 2009 AFL Draft,[2] with nine ultimately selected in the first or priority rounds.
