With the exception of a few that are looking to the pre-season supplemental selection period (SSP), most clubs have finalised their lists for 2020, meaning best 22s are starting to come together.

Some big names remain in doubt to be fit for the opening week, while ample young guns will be in the mix for a quick debut.

Foxfooty.com.au has assembled your club’s most likely best 22 for Round 1.

ADELAIDE CROWS

B: Luke Brown, Daniel Talia, Tom Doedee

HB: Rory Laird, Fischer McAsey, Jake Kelly

C: Paul Seedsman, Rory Sloane, Brodie Smith

HF: Tom Lynch, Taylor Walker, Rory Atkins

F: Lachlan Murphy, Darcy Fogarty, Chayce Jones

FOLL: Reilly O’Brien, Brad Crouch, Matt Crouch

I/C: Bryce Gibbs, Ned McHenry, Wayne Milera, Elliot Himmelberg

EMER: Billy Frampton, David Mackay, Jordan Gallucci, Kyle Hartigan

We say: The biggest recruit will come from within, with Tom Doedee to return from his ACL injury to bolster the backline. But the Crows are loving the early progress of top draft pick Fischer McAsey, who we’ve picked ahead of an unlucky Kyle Hartigan. After excellent pre-seasons, first-round picks Chayce Jones and Ned McHenry should be right in the Round 1 frame. Expect Jones to play more in the midfield this season, while McHenry is set for an early-season debut. Veteran David Mackay has been edged out, while Billy Frampton – the club’s sole trade acquisition last October – will probably be stuck behind Elliott Himmelberg during the early stages of the season. Rookie picks Ben Keays and Ben Crocker will likely begin 2020 in the SANFL, but could easily push into senior line-up.

BRISBANE LIONS

B: Alex Witherden, Harris Andrews, Marcus Adams

HB: Daniel Rich, Darcy Gardiner, Callum Ah Chee

C: Hugh McCluggage, Lachie Neale, Mitch Robinson

HF: Lincoln McCarthy, Eric Hipwood, Dayne Zorko

F: Charlie Cameron, Daniel McStay, Cam Rayner

FOLL: Stefan Martin, Jarryd Lyons, Cam Ellis-Yolmen

I/C: Noah Answerth, Brandon Starcevich, Jarrod Berry, Oscar McInerney

EMER: Grant Birchall, Ryan Lester, Allen Christensen, Deven Robertson

We say: The Lions have been taking a cautious approach with Grant Birchall over the summer months to give him the best possible chance to be fit for the start of the season. If he’s fit, the Lions will want him in defence to fill the leadership and wisdom chasm Luke Hodge left, but we’ve (cautiously) left him out at this stage for Noah Answerth. After calf injuries curtailed his 2019 season with Adelaide, expect new recruit Cam Ellis-Yolmen to slot in to the Round 1 team after fitting into the midfield group with aplomb during recent match simulation. Our bolter is Brandon Starcevich, who’s fitter, stronger and injury-free compared to past years and primed to add to his five-game tally early in the year. Allen Christensen, who’s had a slightly interrupted pre-season, is stiff to miss.

CARLTON

B: Lachie Plowman, Jacob Weitering, Kade Simpson

HB: Sam Docherty, Liam Jones, Nic Newman

C: Sam Petrevski-Seton, Patrick Cripps, Sam Walsh

HF: Jack Silvagni, Levi Casboult, Zac Fisher

F: Mitch McGovern, Harry McKay, Eddie Betts

FOLL: Matthew Kreuzer, Marc Murphy, Ed Curnow

I/C: Jack Martin, Caleb Marchbank, Will Setterfield, Michael Gibbons

EMER: Paddy Dow, Jack Newnes, Tom Williamson, Matthew Kennedy

We say: Firstly, we’ve left Charlie Curnow out as the Blues have already confirmed he’ll be unavailable for the first few rounds due to a knee issue. But the returning Eddie Betts likely comes straight into the line-up, while Jack Martin should be given an early opportunity. There’s now some serious depth in the midfield, meaning it might be hard for young players like Lochie O’Brien and Paddy Dow to break into the line-up. Fingers crossed Sam Docherty will be healthy this year, because in a sense he could be the most impressive recruit of 2020.

COLLINGWOOD

B: Jeremy Howe, Jordan Roughead, Brayden Maynard

HB: Isaac Quaynor, Darcy Moore, Jack Crisp

C: Tom Phillips, Scott Pendlebury, Steele Sidebottom

HF: Josh Thomas, Brody Mihocek, Jaidyn Stephenson

F: Jamie Elliott, Mason Cox, Jordan De Goey

FOLL: Brodie Grundy, Adam Treloar, Taylor Adams

I/C: Chris Mayne, Callum Brown, Rupert Wills, Will Hoskin-Elliott

EMER: Brayden Sier, John Noble, Tyler Brown, Ben Reid

We say: Veteran Travis Varcoe (shoulder) has been ruled out of the early rounds, while Dayne Beams continues to put his health above footy with no time frame on his return. Down back Tom Langdon (knee) is also unlikely to play early and Levi Greenwood will still be recovering from an ACL rupture, meaning Isaac Quaynor gets a start on the half-back flank just ahead of John Noble and Flynn Appleby. At this stage there might only be one bench spot for one Brown, so a battle between brothers Callum Brown and Tyler Brown could be on the cards. While Tyler has impressed track-watchers over the summer, Callum has had a slightly interrupted pre-season — but nothing too drastic to keep him out of Round 1 contention.

ESSENDON

B: Mason Redman, Cale Hooker, Patrick Ambrose

HB: Adam Saad, Michael Hurley, Conor McKenna

C: Devon Smith, Zach Merrett, Andrew McGrath

HF: Tom Cutler, Jake Stringer, Darcy Parish

F: Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti, Shaun McKernan, Orazio Fantasia

FOLL: Tom Bellchambers, Dyson Heppell, Dylan Shiel

I/C: Dylan Clarke, Martin Gleeson, Aaron Francis, Will Snelling

EMER: Brandon Zerk-Thatcher, David Zaharakis, Matt Guelfi, Jacob Townsend

We say: There could be a bit to play out there over the next few months due to the array of summer niggles the playing group has experienced. Joe Daniher is staying on the list for 2020, but considering his injury-interrupted pre-season to date, we’ve left him out of the Round 1 line-up. It means we’ve selected a smaller forward line, with Jake Stringer the hybrid centre half-forward and ex-Lion Tom Cutler – who’s had an excellent pre-season – one of the flanks. David Zaharakis, who’s struggled with ankle and knee issues this off-season, has also been left out of the side for now, but is recovering well from his setbacks. We’ve named Cale Hooker at full-back, but he’s a little behind schedule at this stage after late hip surgery. One excellent addition will be Devon Smith, who’s fully recovered from injury and in top shape. There’ll be ample competition for bench spots between the likes of Will Snelling, Matt Guelfi, Jacob Townsend, Kyle Langford, Jayden Laverde and Brandon Zerk-Thatcher.

FREMANTLE

B: Luke Ryan, Joel Hamling, Nathan Wilson

HB: Ethan Hughes, Griffin Logue, Hayden Young

C: Brett Bewley, Nat Fyfe, Connor Blakely

HF: Michael Walters, Matt Taberner, Darcy Tucker

F: Brennan Cox, Rory Lobb, Brandon Matera

FOLL: Sean Darcy, Andrew Brayshaw, Adam Cerra

I/C: Stephen Hill, Blake Acres, Reece Conca, James Aish

EMER: Cam McCarthy, Taylin Duman, Travis Colyer, Caleb Serong

We say: Jesse Hogan is taking time away from the game to deal with mental health issues, giving Brennan Cox an opportunity in the 22. Cox, Matt Taberner and Rory Lobb are all big bodies but the latter two have certainly indicated their desire to play in a tall forward line. It’s unclear at this stage whether David Mundy will be fit for Round 1 due to a leg fracture, so we’ve left him out. And considering Alex Pearce, who’s had a wretched injury run in recent years, isn’t expected to return to full training until late February, he’ll likely miss as well. Top-10 draft pick Hayden Young – the best kick from last year’s draft – comes straight in to help the Dockers arrest their biggest weakness: Kicking efficiency off half-back, which has been a big focus over the off-season. Cam McCarthy, who’s been rejuvenated training with the midfield group this off-season, and draftee Caleb Serong are both very unlucky to miss out, but Brett Bewley has improved tremendously over the off-season and deserves a spot in the best 22.

GEELONG CATS

B: Jed Bews, Mark Blicavs, Mark O’Connor

HB: Zach Tuohy, Harry Taylor, Tom Stewart

C: Jordan Clark, Joel Selwood, Mitch Duncan

HF: Brandan Parfitt, Esava Ratugolea, Luke Dahlhaus

F: Gryan Miers, Tom Hawkins, Gary Ablett

FOLL: Rhys Stanley, Patrick Dangerfield, Jack Steven

I/C: Cameron Guthrie, Tom Atkins, Jack Henry, Nakia Cockatoo

EMER: Josh Jenkins, Sam Menegola, Charlie Constable, Quinton Narkle

We say: Defender Jake Kolodjashnij is unlikely to be fit for Round 1 after undergoing hip surgery, but Jordan Clark (elbow) should be right to go for the season-opener. The Cats lost Tim Kelly, but if recruit Jack Steven can somewhat recapture his best form, he’s going to be a more than adequate replacement. All things going to plan, Steven starts in the Cats’ on-ball brigade in Round 1. However the same can’t be said for fellow recruit Josh Jenkins, who we’ve left out as it’s hard to see the Cats playing all of Jenkins, Tom Hawkins and Esava Ratugolea in the same side. Other tough omissions included Gary Rohan, Charlie Constable, Zach Guthrie, Jacob Kennerley and, in particular, Quinton Narkle. Instead, we’ve gone with the hard-tackling Tom Atkins and speedy Nakia Cockatoo - who recently received a massive endorsement from Patrick Dangerfield - as both provide the unique traits that complement the rest of the Cats’ line-up superbly.

GOLD COAST SUNS

B: Jarrod Harbrow, Rory Thompson, Jack Lukosius

HB: Pearce Hanley, Sam Collins, Brandon Ellis

C: Lachie Weller, Touk Miller, Brayden Fiorini

HF: Hugh Greenwood, Ben King, Ben Ainsworth

F: Izak Rankine, Peter Wright, Alex Sexton

FOLL: Jarrod Witts, David Swallow, Matt Rowell

I/C: Jack Bowes, Darcy Macpherson, Wil Powell, Anthony Miles

EMER: Charlie Ballard, Noah Anderson, Sam Day, Sean Lemmens

We say: Even though they’re coming off the wooden spoon and have a Champion Data list quality rating of 18th, there’s some serious depth at the Suns, meaning some hard choices will have to be made at match committee. Recruits Brandon Ellis and Hugh Greenwood slot straight into the best 22, but returning ruckman Zac Smith misses out, as it’s hard to see him and Jarrod Witts in the same side, considering it’s already a top-heavy best 22. However Witts is in some doubt for Round 1 after undergoing foot surgery. It’s also why Sam Day misses out, with Peter Wright getting the nod along with Ben King. Jack Lukosius has been training with the defenders this summer and the Suns like his efficiency off half-back, probably putting him ahead of Jack Hombsch, Charlie Ballard and Jesse Joyce. Then how many youngsters is too many? Matt Rowell should play straight up, as should excitement machine Izak Rankine if fit. While they mightn’t be there in Round 1, expect early-season debuts for Noah Anderson, Sam Flanders and Jeremy Sharp.

GWS GIANTS

B: Nick Haynes, Phil Davis, Aidan Corr

HB: Harry Perryman, Sam Taylor, Heath Shaw

C: Josh Kelly, Callan Ward, Zac Williams

HF: Stephen Coniglio, Jeremy Finlayson, Lachie Whitfield

F: Toby Greene, Jeremy Cameron, Harry Himmelberg

FOLL: Sam Jacobs, Tim Taranto, Jacob Hopper

I/C: Matt de Boer, Sam Reid, Jye Caldwell, Zac Langdon

EMER: Jackson Hatley, Adam Kennedy, Brent Daniels, Isaac Cumming

We say: Pretty handy inclusions from the Grand Final side, with Stephen Coniglio set to return Round 1 and Callan Ward also a good chance for a gig as he continues to build into full training. Ruck-wise, recruit Sam Jacobs gets the nod over Shane Mumford as it’s unlikely both would play in the same team. There are a few selection conundrums we’ve tried to solve. Sam Reid – a favourite of coach Leon Cameron’s – holds onto his spot ahead of Adam Kennedy and Isaac Cumming, while Zac Langdon’s impressive pre-season sees him edge out Brent Daniels and Ian Hill. In the midfield, Jye Caldwell gets the nod ahead of Jackson Hately and Tom Green.

HAWTHORN

B: Sam Frost, James Frawley, Ben Stratton

HB: Blake Hardwick, Ben McEvoy, James Sicily

C: Ricky Henderson, Tom Mitchell, Tom Scully

HF: Chad Wingard, Mitch Lewis, Jack Gunston

F: Tim O’Brien, Jon Patton, Luke Breust

FOLL: Jon Ceglar, James Worpel, Jaeger O’Meara

I/C: Isaac Smith, Shaun Burgoyne, Liam Shiels, Paul Puopolo

EMER: Jack Scrimshaw, Ollie Hanrahan, Changkuoth Jiath, Dan Howe

We say: No Jarman Impey as he continues his comeback from a knee reconstruction, but recruit Sam Frost essentially replaces him in the backline with Jack Scrimshaw stiff to miss. We’ve named Brownlow Medallist Tom Mitchell, but the fact he still has no set date on his return to the playing field is a little concern. If he doesn’t play, Dan Howe, James Cousins or Ollie Hanrahan will come in. Tim O’Brien’s awesome end to his 2019 campaign – he kicked 12 goals from his last five games – means he has to play, meaning he’ll team up with Mitch Lewis and Jon Patton in a tall forward line. Notice an interesting name at centre half-back too? Expect Ben McEvoy to start the year in the backline after training with the defenders over the summer.

MELBOURNE

B: Jake Lever, Oscar McDonald, Neville Jetta

HB: Michael Hibberd, Steven May, Christian Salem

C: Adam Tomlinson, Jack Viney, Angus Brayshaw

HF: Ed Langdon, Tom McDonald, Christian Petracca

F: Jake Melksham, Sam Weideman, Bayley Fritsch

FOLL: Max Gawn, James Harmes, Clayton Oliver

I/C: Jayden Hunt, Marty Hore, Nathan Jones, Kysaiah Pickett

EMER: Jay Lockhart, Luke Jackson, Kade Chandler, Harrison Petty

We say: The follower line picks itself, given James Harmes was one of the few Demons to grow his reputation in 2019 while Max Gawn and Clayton Oliver were still consistent. As for their recruits, Adam Tomlinson should slot in on a wing – despite a slightly injury-interrupted pre-season – with Ed Langdon and Angus Brayshaw (despite his recent elbow setback) on the other, adding much-needed pace. Oscar McDonald should replace the Hawthorn-bound Sam Frost as the third tall defender. The Dees may be tempted to unleash Kade Chandler or Jay Lockhart early after promising pre-seasons, but we’ve given the nod to Kysaiah Pickett, who was the small forward the Demons were desperately after at the 2019 draft.

NORTH MELBOURNE

B: Jamie Macmillan, Robbie Tarrant, Marley Williams

HB: Jasper Pittard, Sam Durdin, Shaun Atley

C: Jared Polec, Ben Cunnington, Trent Dumont

HF: Jy Simpkin, Nick Larkey, Tarryn Thomas

F: Kayne Turner, Ben Brown, Cam Zurhaar

FOLL: Todd Goldstein, Jack Ziebell, Shaun Higgins

I/C: Jed Anderson, Aiden Bonar, Luke Davies-Uniacke, Mason Wood

EMER: Lachlan Hosie, Josh Walker, Taylor Garner, Sam Durdin

We say: It’d be massive if Majak Daw played Round 1, but his highly-anticipated return game is more likely to come some weeks later. Mason Wood is on the bench, but could easily start in defence – a new role for the talented Roo after struggling with form and injury as a forward. Ben Jacobs’ return date remains unknown and Ed Vickers-Willis is unlikely to be there in Round 1 due to a knee setback, so the recruitment of free agent Josh Walker is timely. But Sam Durdin might be preferred over Walker in the early stages of the season. Aiden Bonar is a very strong chance of playing in Round 1 after coming across from GWS and impressing on the track, but Luke McDonald’s light training duties at the moment mean he’s an unlikely starter. Dom Tyson, Paul Ahern, Bailey Scott, Lachie Hosie and Taylor Garner are unlucky to miss.

PORT ADELAIDE

B: Darcy Byrne-Jones, Tom Clurey, Ryan Burton

HB: Hamish Hartlett, Tom Jonas, Riley Bonner

C: Karl Amon, Ollie Wines, Xavier Duursma

HF: Dan Houston, Todd Marshall, Connor Rozee

F: Robbie Gray, Charlie Dixon, Brad Ebert

FOLL: Scott Lycett, Travis Boak, Tom Rockliff

I/C: Sam Powell-Pepper, Justin Westhoff, Zak Butters, Jack Watts

EMER: Jarrod Leinert, Miles Bergman, Kane Farrell, Jackson Mead

We say: We’ve been conservative with the Round 1 debuts, but Port showed last season that it was happy to unleash its young guns early in the year. Miles Bergman and Jackson Mead, who’ve both quickly adjusted to life as senior footballers, appear the 2019 draftees most likely to push for Round 1, but they’ve been names as emergencies for now. Willem Drew probably would’ve been in the 22 if it wasn’t for off-season surgery, with the Power likely to be conservative with the young bull on-baller. Todd Marshall gets a gig as Justin Westhoff is more likely to be used as a defender in 2020. We’re also backing Jack Watts, who’s done a mountain of running over the summer, to push for Round 1 selection as well.

RICHMOND

B: Nathan Broad, Dylan Grimes, David Astbury

HB: Bachar Houli, Nick Vlastuin, Jayden Short

C: Kane Lambert, Dion Prestia, Josh Caddy

HF: Shai Bolton, Jack Riewoldt, Shane Edwards

F: Daniel Rioli, Tom Lynch, Jason Castagna

FOLL: Ivan Soldo, Dustin Martin, Trent Cotchin

I/C: Toby Nankervis, Jack Graham, Marlion Pickett, Sydney Stack

EMER: Liam Baker, Patrick Naish, Jack Ross, Noah Balta

We say: Even though they won’t get Alex Rance back and lost Brandon Ellis to the Suns, it’s still an embarrassment of riches for the 2019 premiers. They’ll have the benefit of Marlion Pickett having a full AFL pre-season under his belt, while Jack Graham and Sydney Stack deserve to return to the best 22 after missing out on last year’s flag. Liam Baker is unlucky, while Patrick Naish and Noah Balta aren’t far away. Jack Ross has also cut a lean figure on the training track over the summer and could be ready to step into an outside role. Riley Collier-Dawkins couldn’t make the 26, but should debut early in the season. Jack Higgins (brain bleed) will likely make his return at some stage during the season. Some quality young guns miss out, to say the least.

ST KILDA

B: Jarryn Geary, Jake Carlisle, Callum Wilkie

HB: Dylan Roberton, Dougal Howard, Hunter Clark

C: Bradley Hill, Seb Ross, Jack Billings

HF: Jade Gresham, Tim Membrey, Jack Sinclair

F: Dan Butler, Paddy Ryder, Max King

FOLL: Rowan Marshall, Jack Steele, Dan Hannebery

I/C: Luke Dunstan, Jimmy Webster, Zak Jones, Josh Battle

EMER: Shane Savage, Nick Hind, Matt Parker, Ben Long

We say: A new era at Moorabbin means a new-look best 22. It’s possible St Kilda’s five new recruits, plus exciting key forward Max King, could all line up in Round 1, while Jimmy Webster will be a welcome inclusion from injury. That could mean some hard conversations for the likes of Shane Savage, Nick Hind and Matt Parker. Dan Butler probably keeps Jack Lonie out of the side, while other goalkickers like Ben Long have missed out. We’ve pencilled in Dylan Roberton, who’s making good progress on the track but undoubtedly won’t be rushed into a return. The ruck dynamic between Paddy Ryder and Rowan Marshall will be fascinating to watch.

SYDNEY SWANS

B: Jordan Dawson, Dane Rampe, Jake Lloyd

HB: Ollie Florent, Aliir Aliir, Callum Mills

C: Isaac Heeney, Josh Kennedy, Nick Blakey

HF: Lewis Taylor, Sam Reid, Tom Papley

F: Will Hayward, Callum Sinclair, Tom McCartin

FOLL: Sam Naismith, George Hewett, Luke Parker

I/C: Harry Cunningham, Dylan Stephens, Colin O’Riordan, James Rowbottom

EMER: Sam Gray, Lewis Melican, Will Gould, Ben Ronke

We say: After Lance Franklin’s recent knee surgery, it just seems unlikely he’ll be right for Round 1, which has led to a shuffle in this team. We’ve swung Tom McCartin back into the forward, with Nick Blakey - who’s been training with the midfield group over the summer - pushing onto a wing. Isaac Heeney is on the other wing still, even though he’ll soon undergo thumb surgery. The Swans are confident he’ll be right for Round 1. The ruck situation will look a lot better with Callum Sinclair and Sam Naismith fit, although both have had interrupted pre-seasons but should be right for Round 1 at this stage. We’ve got Lewis Taylor slotting into Sydney’s Round 1 side, while ready-made draftee Dylan Stephens, who’s turned ample heads on the track, also gets a gig. Fellow draftee Will Gould is also a strong body, but is an emergency at this stage.

WEST COAST EAGLES

B: Liam Duggan, Tom Barrass, Brad Sheppard

HB: Shannon Hurn, Jeremy McGovern, Lewis Jetta

C: Dom Sheed, Elliot Yeo, Andrew Gaff

HF: Jamie Cripps, Jack Darling, Jack Petruccelle

F: Oscar Allen, Josh Kennedy, Liam Ryan

FOLL: Nic Naitanui, Luke Shuey, Tim Kelly

I/C: Tom Hickey, Mark Hutchings, Jack Redden, Jarrod Cameron

EMER: Jackson Nelson, Jake Waterman, Tom Cole, Josh Rotham

We say: Despite being under injury clouds, we’ve named all of Jeremy McGovern, Oscar Allen and Tom Barrass in the 22, with all three hopeful of getting up for Round 1. It means both Will Schofield and Jake Waterman miss out, while Jackson Nelson and Josh Rotham aren’t far away from making the line-up. Jarrod Cameron’s had a tremendous off-season and deserves a Round 1 spot, while Tom Hickey has been named on the bench to support Nic Naitanui in the ruck. But, boy, look at that midfield. Add star recruit Tim Kelly to this mix and the Eagles are clearly one of the premiership favourites for 2020.

WESTERN BULLDOGS

B: Matt Suckling, Alex Keath, Hayden Crozier

HB: Jason Johanissen, Zaine Cordy, Easton Wood

C: Lachie Hunter, Marcus Bontempelli, Ed Richards

HF: Bailey Smith, Josh Bruce, Sam Lloyd

F: Bailey Dale, Aaron Naughton, Josh Schache

FOLL: Tim English, Josh Dunkley, Jack Macrae

I/C: Patrick Lipinski, Caleb Daniel, Toby McLean, Mitch Wallis

EMER: Taylor Duryea, Tom Liberatore, Cody Weightman, Will Hayes

We say: The Bulldogs were considered one of the big winners of the trade period, picking up two key pillars - one at either end of the ground - while holding on to their first-round draft pick. Those two key-position players, Alex Keath and Josh Bruce, slot straight into the 22, while exciting draftee Cody Weightman won’t be too far away from a Round 1 debut either, although we’ve left him out for the moment. The Bulldogs’ midfield is powerful, with Lachie Hunter, Marcus Bontempelli, Ed Richards, Tim English, Josh Dunkley and Jack Macrae set to cause more headaches for opposition teams. We’ve included Mitch Wallis back from injury, but left Tom Liberatore out for the moment. Liberatore is back in full training, but whether he’s coming from too far back for AFL selection remains debatable. Lewis Young and Taylor Duryea were stiff.
