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?

C:Â Lachie Whitfield, Jacob Hopper, Josh Kelly
HF:Â Callan Ward, Jonothon Patton, Toby Greene
FF:Â Brett Deledio, Jeremy Cameron, Devon Smith
R:Â Shane Mumford, Stephen Coniglio, Dylan Shiel

The injury-woes of the middle of the season are merely memories for the Giants now. They have welcomed back several key players in recent weeks and have built some impressive form, save for a final round defeat to Geelong.
Veteran Steve Johnson is likely to miss as his age finally catches up to him. They will miss his valuable finals experience but cannot afford to carry a liability when several players are banging the door down. Tim Taranto would logically be the first cab off the rank after an impressive 30-disposal, six tackle and one goal effort in the NEAFL on his return from injury, but Matt De Boer's finals experience may be called upon instead.
