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.
North Melbourne
While last year's wooden spooners aren't expected to rise up the ladder in 2022, the Kangaroos do have a promising collective of youngsters on their roster.
And ifย Northย Melbourneย are to build upon their form found across the second half of last season, then a real rise, as well as a boost in the wins and losses column, should emere sooner rather than later.
Apart fromย Hugh Greenwood, the newest additions at Arden Street found across the off-season were all collected for the future, rather than the here and now.
