New faces: Shai Bolton is the only non-premiership player named in the best 22, replacing Jason Castagna in a small-forward role.
On the fringe: Draftee Jack Higgins will be knocking on the door from Round 1 after dominating junior levels throughout 2017. Reece Conca and Jason Castagna will also fancy their chances of playing consistent senior footy. Shaun Hampson, Anthony Miles, Sam Lloyd and Ben Griffiths will also provide decent depth for the reigning premiers.
