Rejoice footy fans! We're through the bye and we are just over 24-hours away until the ball is bounced on the Adelaide Oval to get the 2017 finals series underway.
After 23 grueling rounds, injuries and form have conspired to form a best-22 vastly different to the start of the year for some teams, while others have become bastions of consistency.
So as we begin the four-week journey to Grand Final day, who is in each club's best-22?
Richmond
FB:Â Brandon Ellis, Alex Rance, Dylan Grimes
HB:Â Bachar Houli, David Astbury, Nick Vlastuin
C:Â Kamdyn McIntosh, Trent Cotchin, Jacob Townsend
HF:Â Kane Lambert, Shane Edwards, Dustin Martin
FF:Â Dan Butler, Jack Riewoldt, Daniel Rioli
R:Â Toby Nankervis, Dion Prestia, Shaun Grigg
Int:Â Josh Caddy, Jack Graham, Nathan Broad, Jason Castagna
Richmond will enter September with a relatively stable line-up. There is only one potential change with Oleg Markov the most likely Tiger to make way for the returning Josh Caddy.
All-Australian captain Alex Rance and Brownlow favourite Dustin Martin will be crucial if Richmond is to win its first final since 2001.
Arguably, one of their major drawbacks is the quality of their second tier players. Richmond's top players are some of the best in the competition but the quality falls away significantly after that. Having made the top four, Richmond are well placed to give the finals a real shake and should at least be aiming to reach the third week.
