AFL action isn't far away, with the first pre-season matches coming next month as clubs continue to prepare for the 2025 campaign.
The pre-season often gives fans a glimpse into potential team changes for the new year, with new recruits hoping to break into the starting side at their new clubs.
Others who have been forced to wait in the wings could be unveiled this year, while those already on the fringe will be seeking promotions and consistent action in the top flight.
As the season nears, we've named every club's best 23-man side for the 2025 season.
