The Rock-Yerong Creek big man Jack Driscoll, Narrandera livewire Harry Grintell and Turvey Park forward Pat Voss were all included in the 39-man squad.
Henty's Toby Murray was also included in the squad after impressing for Murray Bushrangers this year.
Like all selections, there were a number of unlucky footballers, including last year's AFL Riverina Championship best and fairest Matt Hamblin.
The Giants Academy had six players make the squad, with 16 overall hailing from NSW and ACT.
The Allies team consists of players from NSW, ACT, Queensland, Northern Territory and Tasmania and will take on the likes of Vic Metro, Vic Country, South Australia and Western Australia at the national championships.
Allies selector and AFL Talent Ambassador, Kevin Sheehan, is happy with the Allies squad.
