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.
Melbourne
The Demons, with a 57-year weight off their shoulders, are in a terrific spot list-wise.
With the exception of acquiringย Luke Dunstanย (after he was delisted byย St Kilda),ย Melbourneย didn't make any noteworthy moves over the course of the off-season, displaying the utmost confidence in its young, premiership-winning squad to go again in 2022.
Heading into Round 1 of 2022 (a Grand Final rematch against theย Western Bulldogsย at the MCG),ย Simon Goodwin's men will have all the confidence in the world that they can go back-to-back.
