Rolling All-Australian summary:
We're approaching the halfway point of the year, and our rolling All-Australian squad for season 2026 is really beginning to take shape!
Once again, it's a light week of changes, with just one new name being added to the fold. Lions veteran Charlie Cameron comes into the forward line after booting 25 goals through 11 games, and establishing himself as the competition's second-most prolific small forward of the year, behind Hawthorn's Nick Watson.
The player to make way is North Melbourne's Harry Sheezel, who remains in the mix for a return. In order to make the change, Cats speedster Max Holmes shifts to halfback, while teammate Bailey Smith takes his place on the wing. Dockers forward Josh Treacy moves to the bench to free up a spot on the field for Cameron.
This week, the man most on notice is Demons coach Steven King. Could Justin Longmuir be about to displace him as the head coach of our team?
