Port Adelaide pose as an intriguing watch as the proud club failed to capitalise on another top-four finish, falling at the penultimate weekend.
Power coach Ken Hinkley was consistently ridiculed throughout the 2024 campaign, but despite his doubters, he still managed to get his side to a second-place finish.
However, the club lost two-time All-Australian defender Dan Houston to Collingwood and veteran forward Charlie Dixon to retirement, so there'll no doubt be some magnet moving.
A part of the host of changes will be former Gold Coast utility Jack Lukosius, who reunites with great mate and Port Adelaide captain Connor Rozee.
The Power also bolstered their small forward stocks, picking up Joe Richards from Collingwood and Joe Berry with Pick 15 in the draft.
But how will Hinkley fit them all in?
It's a tricky selection call across all three lines of the field, so we've assessed Port Adelaide's squad ahead of the 2025 season and determined the best 23-man side for a healthy Power team.
Our Best 23 for 2025 series will include players unavailable for the start of the season, except for those expected to miss most or all of the season through injury or suspension.
