He was also ranked second for total marks and third for tackles within the Club.
Macrae has never previously been named in the All Australian squad and has received 30 Brownlow votes since his debut in 2013.
Every team except St Kilda and Gold Coast has been represented, with the Richmond Tigers leading the way with eight players named.
The final team of 22 will be named on Wednesday evening.
The All Australian squad has been selected by Gillon McLachlan (chairman), Kevin Bartlett, Luke Darcy, Danny Frawley, Steve Hocking, Glen Jakovich, Chris Johnson, Cameron Ling, Matthew Richardson and Warren Tredrea.
