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.
Sydneyย
Theย Swansย put the rest of the competition on notice last year, amassing a finals finish while managing to blood a bevy of youth as they continue to shape their list for the future.
While senior coachย John Longmireย will continue this trend, there will be a priority in his side reinstating their placing as a potential premiership contender for 2022.
Having experimented with a number of rotations last season, Longmire is now blessed with a versatile squad, with their 'next man up' mentality buoying their prospects for the season ahead.
