15St Kilda
Regardless of how one views St Kilda's brazen approach to the 2025 free agency and trade period, the fact of the matter is this club's list is significantly better than it was 12 months ago.
The tandem of Tom De Koning and Rowan Marshall in the ruck is obviously something the club is banking on to excel, and their midfield class has added another layer with the signing of Sam Flanders.
The Saints aren't afraid to hurt anyone's feelings either, shipping off Jack Steele cheaply after his nine-year tenure with the club, five of those as captain, and backflipping on Leek Aleer right as he was set to pen a sizable contract at Moorabbin.
Will the bold approach pay off, though? That's the question that looms for the Saints in 2026, as this core has immense pressure to take a significant leap in 2026.
GRADE: B+
Ins: Jack Silvagni (Carlton), Tom De Koning (Carlton), Sam Flanders (Gold Coast), Liam Ryan (West Coast)
