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.
Geelong
Geelongย have again opted to continue with their win-now mantra in the wake of their absolute dismantling at the hands of eventual premiersย Melbourneย during last season's preliminary final.
Theย Cats have their eyes set on premiership glory heading into 2022 after having been so close to recapturing the ultimate prize in footy over the past two seasons.
The acquisitions of former Hawks ruck Jonathan Ceglar and cut Crowย Tyson Stengleย have both addressed a key weakness in the centre while adding even more firepower to an already potent forward 50.
