Despite all eyes firmly planted on the beginning of the 2025 AFL season, clubs and list managers have already begun to assess their group as a whole.
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.
And although the work on the field will determine who holds the premiership cup aloft at the end of the year, the off-field happenings play an even larger part.
As it stands, over 300 players are entering the final year of their contract.

Some are likely set to retire, some are expected to land big bucks while the unfortunate reality is some won't be in the system in 2026.
So, we'll go through your club's state of play heading into the new season.
Port Adelaide
(21 players)
The Power have big calls to make in 2025 and one will surround the future of Miles Bergman.
The dashing defender had a breakout in 2024 and will be watched closely by rivals, especially given his capability of playing midfield.
Jase Burgoyne is another of Port Adelaide's priority signings but is very unlikely to leave the club his father player for while Kane Farrell's importance grew in the side following the departure of Dan Houston.
Travis Boak is likely to play one more season but he has defied the odds before.
Ivan Soldo wanted out after 12 months but was held to his contract in the hope he would win back the primary ruck role.
