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.
Collingwood
Under new leadership, a fresh-facedย Collingwoodย side will look to bounce back from an incredibly underwhelming 2021 season, after which they sat second-bottom on the ladder behind the likes of strugglersย Gold Coast,ย Adelaideย and arch-rivalย Carlton.
The Magpies' most recent campaign represented the club's first finals absence since the 2017 season.
After the departure of senior coach and club stalwartย Nathan Buckleyย throughout 2021, promising replacementย Craig McRaeย will be looking to hit the ground running in Round 1 againstย St Kilda with a host of new names acquired over the off-season.
