With all 18 lists coming together ahead of the 2022 season, we can finally begin to craft our thoughts as to who will be holding down spots in their respective squads for the year ahead.
Whether it was through the trade window, free agency, drafting or SSP, clubs have both gained and lost talent since the end of last season.
Add in the development of emerging names and the retirement of veterans across the competition, and it's likely every club will have a different best 22 compared to how they shaped last season.
We take a look at every club's list and name their best side for the 2022 AFL season.
Hawthorn
It's been a change of the guard at Waverley park over the off-season, with legendary head coachย Alastair Clarksonย leaving the club after 390 games and 17 years in the top job.
Favourite son and past playerย Sam Mitchellย will take the reins in 2022 and beyond, inheriting a list that is in a rebuilding and transitional phase.
