AFL: Griffen, Minson honoured in All-Australian team

18/09/2013

By Banjamin Millar

Ryan Griffen and Will Minson have been recognised as being among the AFL’s elite.

The Western Bulldogs duo received one of the game’s most highly
sought after accolades on Monday night when they were named in the
All-Australian team.

Griffen, the Charles Sutton Medal winner for best-and-fairest at
the Bulldogs this season, confirmed his place in the upper echelon of
midfielders by being named on the wing.

Minson is considered the premier ruckman in the AFL, having locked down that spot in the star-studded team.
