From star players to depth necessities, all sides are planning for premiership glory and what that might look like in the years to come.
A big part of that is being able to successfully plan for the short term as well as the future, with clubs like Sydney, Geelong and Brisbane providing the blueprint in recent years.

As it stands, over 300 players are entering the final year of their contract.
