The best part about entering new footy season is that it's a fresh slate - every club starts from zero.
Optimism is high as fans relish in the prospect of their club making some form of improvement on last year, whether that's contending for a premiership, returning to September action, or seeing young players blossom into genuine superstars to push a rebuild forward.
Whether they've just won back-to-back premierships or are coming off a one-win campaign, each club has something to look forward to next year.
So, here's one thing your favourite club should be excited about entering the new year.
Port Adelaide
A new (and improved?) attacking approach
Newly appointed senior coach Josh Carr looks set to radicalise the Power's ball movement in order to dynamise their way forward, and if it's as good as he makes it sound, Port Adelaide should find itself back in the Finals hunt in 2026.
The key message Carr has spoken about in his early days as head coach is to add more avenues to attack inside 50. That ideally helps out Mitch Georgiades, who has turned into a bona fide star for the Power and, with greater delivery from his midfield and half-forward connectors, has demonstrated 60-goal potential.
Georgiades should have an improved supporting cast too, barring any more unfortunate injuries, with Todd Marshall, Jack Lukosius and youngster Jack Whitlock potentially being back to their best.
