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.
St Kilda
After a disappointing 2021 regression compounded by injuries to key contributors,ย St Kildaย senior coachย Brett Rattenย and his Saints head into a hopeful 2022 campaign with a young and prospering list.
After the retirements ofย Jake Carlisle,ย Dylan Roberton,ย James Frawleyย andย Shaun McKernanย at the conclusion of last season, the Saints instantly become younger and less experienced, and with ex-skipperย Jarryn Gearyย in his twilight years,ย St Kildaย will need its young guns to start stepping up into leadership roles alongside fan favouriteย Jack Steele.
