For their on-ball group couldn\u2019t match it with other contenders when the heat was at its hottest in September. Granted, Adelaide was missing Izak Rankine. So you do wonder how that could\u2019ve potentially distorted our view of the Crows\u2019 midfield and thus it not been an accurate reflection of how good that group can be. For Rankine \u2014 and to a lesser degree, Josh Rachele, who returned for the semi-final against Hawthorn \u2014 provide more of an X-factor and different feel to an otherwise relatively one-paced group. And outside of Jordan Dawson, who do you really trust? And who\u2019s a bona fide? Giving more opportunities to youngsters including Sid Draper and Dan Curtin could help bolster the engine room and take it to another level. Plus, the likes of Jake Soligo, James Peatling, Sam Berry and others simply getting a taste of finals and an idea of the level required should automatically hold them in better stead. <\/p>\n BRISBANE LIONS<\/p>\n List chasm: Replacing Brandon Starcevich<\/p>\n The loss of Brandon Starcevich shouldn\u2019t be glossed over. Not that it\u2019s cause for concern as such, but the defender has been a pivotal part of the back-to-back premiers\u2019 back six including shutting down Patrick Dangerfield and Tom Papley in the last two grand finals. Brisbane\u2019s other best small lockdown defender, Noah Answerth, will miss the start of the Lions\u2019 flag defence due to a ruptured Achilles. While Keidean Coleman should return to the fold after an injury-ruined 2025, the dasher is clearly a very different, more offensive type of player. So who steps up to play on the opposition\u2019s best small forward? Or is well equipped to play on playing on versatile forwards? It might be the only little query in an otherwise stacked line-up bolstered by Oscar Allen and Sam Draper, provided the pair can overcome their recent injury woes.<\/p>\n Have we seen the AFLW Mark of the Year? | 01:03<\/p>\n CARLTON<\/p>\n List chasm: Run, carry and polish<\/p>\n The big question hovering over the Blues for some time now. For that contest-heavy style that ascended Carlton in Michael Voss\u2019 first few years as coach is out of tune with the run and gun, crisp ball movement of the best teams. So how does that reflect on the personnel? They Blues shook up their list profile over a busy trade period including bringing in Will Hayward, Oliver Florent, Ben Ainsworth, Campbell Chesser and Liam Reidy, while Charlie Curnow, Tom De Koning and Jack Silvagni departed. The other big addition is Jagga Smith after the former No. 3 draft pick\u2019s 2025 was wiped by injury. Nic Newman \u2014 their best distributor across half back \u2014 also returns. It gives Carlton a more dynamic feel in every part of the ground, particularly if the likes of Jesse Motlop and Ollie Hollands can take steps forward and they commit to more of a high-speed game style. There\u2019s still concern over whether this team has enough quality ball users though. So even if they tweak the way they play, you can\u2019t magically make players better kicks. <\/p>\n COLLINGWOOD<\/p>\n List chasm: A consistent second midfield star<\/p>\n You could argue the Pies need for a reliable key forward is more pressing, particularly following Brody Mihocek\u2019s departure. But that would be offset by a consistent second midfield star to support Nick Daicos by making Collingwood\u2019s engine room more of a strength. When Scott Pendlebury went down in the opening minutes of the preliminary final loss to Brisbane \u2014 in a game Jordan De Goey was quiet \u2014 it was stark how much Collingwood needs more midfield juice. They\u2019ve found one in Ned Long to play that defensive-first, inside midfield role. But Craig McRae still needs another reliable game breaker alongside Nick Daicos. That could be brother Josh, who\u2019s shown flashes on the ball including a 16-disposal, two-goal fourth quarter against Gold Coast when he was thrown into the middle. Beau McCreery is also expected to get more midfield opportunities in 2026 after some promising stints. Even just getting a healthier season out of De Goey following two injury-hampered years could make a big difference. After an underwhelming first season in black and white, could Dan Houston get pushed on the ball? Or will McRae have something else up his sleeve? There could be a few handy midfielders on the market too to potentially help build out their depth more.<\/p>\n Mason Cox to leave Collingwood! | 00:29<\/p>\n ESSENDON<\/p>\n List chasm: Health<\/p>\n Health is your best player, right David King? That\u2019d be a good start after an injury year from hell. For we really don\u2019t have a great handle on what Essendon was in 2025 with so much key personnel sidelined. When you look at their best 23 on paper, it has potential to be a frisky team, but still with some obvious holes. For one, the ruck position after they yet haven\u2019t replaced Sam Draper and Told Goldstein. Nick Bryan is slated to be the No. 1 ruck, but he\u2019ll miss the start of the year through injury, leaving Vigo Visentini and Lachie Blakiston as their remaining options. Speaking of the midfield, it\u2019d be among the more shallow engine rooms in the competition, which is the opposite of what\u2019s needed in the modern game. It\u2019ll be led by Zach Merrett, who could return unhappy after his failed trade to Hawthorn, Jye Caldwell, who\u2019s struggled to stay on the park consistently, and Sam Durham. Darcy Parish has also been cruelled by injuries, while their other midfield options are unproven after several draft misses, plus Nic Martin will miss a key chuck of 2026 through injury. Also, who\u2019s going to kick their goals? Not a single Bomber kicked over 30 majors in 2025, with Peter Wright (28) and Nate Caddy (20) their leading goalkickers. Though injury clearly played a part in that, it\u2019s another area where there\u2019s not a great base level of consistent production after plenty of change in recent years. <\/p>\n FREMANTLE<\/p>\n List chasm: Nothing glaring \u2026 but scope to strengthen key defensive stocks<\/p>\n There\u2019s no obvious flaws in the Dockers\u2019 23. Their small forwards struggled in the elimination final loss to Gold Coast. But it\u2019s not as though they\u2019re not well stoked stocked there with the likes of Michael Frederick, Shai Bolton, Murphy Reid and Sam Switowski. Plus their talls didn\u2019t perform a whole heap better. And they\u2019ve added a dynamic defender in Judd McVee who can play a range of different forwards. There\u2019s scope to strengthen their key defensive stocks, particularly if Alex Pearce got struck down with injury. But most of their backs excel on both sides of the ball, so it\u2019s not exactly a pressing need. The Dockers clearly need a healthy season out of Hayden Young as their premium score involvements pure midfielder that does the most damage. And though Caleb Serong and Andrew Brayshaw are stars, can they add a Matt Rowell-type explosion from stoppage to their repertoires? <\/p>\n Petracca heaps praise on new coach | 01:47<\/p>\n GEELONG<\/p>\n List chasm: Ruck and midfield depth<\/p>\n Chris Scott\u2019s midfield depth got exposed on grand final day. Bailey Smith and Max Holmes are clearly A-graders, but it drops away pretty quickly to the likes of Tom Atkins, Jack Bowes, Gryan Miers, Oisin Mullin and Jhye Clarke, who can still play key roles on their day. The addition of James Worpel will help to bash and crash against other star midfielders and the Cats would love another option, like former No. 7 draft pick Clark, to emerge. Then there\u2019s the ruck situation, which didn\u2019t improve after Geelong\u2019s failed bid for Rowan Marshall. It leaves Rhys Stanley to be the No. 1 ruck again going into 2026, unless Toby Conway can put his injury woes behind him and emerge. But the Stanley\/Mark Blicavs looked slow and old on grand final day. The Cats have gotten by just fine without a star ruck for several years now though and it\u2019s not the worst problem to have. Depending on how new rules impact the importance of a role that\u2019s become less valuable in general.<\/p>\n GOLD COAST SUNS<\/p>\n List chasm: Star small forward<\/p>\n They might have the best collection of key forwards, particularly after the addition of Jamarra Ugle-Hagan (if he can bounce back). Or at the least the most promising group of key forwards. But what about when the ball hits the deck in attack? Ben Long is coming a career-best season with 45 majors. But can he back it up or was it a year out of the box? Bayley Humphrey (25 goals) will surely get more midfield minutes and Ben Ainsworth (23 goals) is gone. You sense Christian Petracca will spend a fair bit of time up forward too. For Gold Coast could use more creative forwards in general, despite being well represented in the air. Jamie Elliott would\u2019ve been a dreamy addition and to add invaluable experience. But you\u2019d still have to say the club has closed the gap \u2014 potentially entirely \u2014 on Damien Hardwick’s call that they had 80 per cent of a premiership list already when he took over as coach. <\/p>\n Curnow insists no bad blood with Voss | 01:33<\/p>\n GWS GIANTS<\/p>\n List chasm: Midfield questions<\/p>\n The Giants are well-stocked all throughout the field \u2014 having topped up their midfield with Clayton Oliver and kept important depth defender Leek Aleer during the trade period, with Jayden Laverde set to join as a delisted free agent. But while they got Oliver on the cheap, he stills comes with a level of risk and simply mightn\u2019t be an elite starting midfielder anymore. Particularly if he and Tom Green don\u2019t function well together. The addition of adding Oliver is as much about building on-ball depth as anything though in an area the Giants aren\u2019t blessed with heaps of reliable options. They could also look to upgrade in the ruck department in what would be casting an eye to the long-term picture. Kieren Briggs didn\u2019t have his greatest season, and he\u2019s likely not getting any better than he is right now at 26 years of age. Nick Madden and Logan Smith are the only other ruckmen currently on GWS\u2019 list going into next season, so if Briggs were to go down with injury at some stage next year \u2014 or simply decline in form \u2014 there isn\u2019t a heap to write home about in terms of rucks to pick from. It\u2019s certainly food for thought for a Giants outfit that sat fifth-last in the competition for centre-clearance differential.<\/p>\n HAWTHORN<\/p>\n List chasm: Game-breaking midfielder<\/p>\n Zach Merrett sure would\u2019ve been handy \u2026 Although the Hawks were missing Will Day through injury in the finals series, they didn\u2019t have the midfield starpower to match it with Geelong, who was overwhelmed by Brisbane. Clearly, the Lions\u2019 midfield is on its own level, but Hawthorn\u2019s feels a couple of rungs down in a period it\u2019ll be hoping to match it with the best. Day is clearly Hawthorn\u2019s classiest midfielder and Jai Newcombe is becoming more well rounded, but it\u2019s otherwise a blue-collar group that specialises more inside the contest. James Worpel\u2019s departure should open up more opportunities for Cam Mackenzie, who will hope to follow in Josh Ward\u2019s footsteps and have a breakout season in 2026. Mackenzie going to another level could give them Sam Mitchell that other game-breaker he needs in the engine room. And of course, having a fit Day and September specialist Newcombe, both firing alongside each other could also significantly raise the Hawks\u2019 ceiling. Which one would you tag?<\/p>\n Merrett’s bid to join Hawks fails | 01:28<\/p>\n MELBOURNE<\/p>\n List chasm: Spine<\/p>\n The Demons addressed one of their biggest needs of the last few years \u2014 key-position attack \u2014 by acquiring Brody Mihocek from Collingwood. But you look at their spine and it\u2019s still an area of concern, particularly with Mihocek turning 33. Harry Petty hasn\u2019t worked as a forward and it might be time to give up on the experiment and send him back to defence. The Dees have made it clear they\u2019ll prioritise the development of their younger defenders, such as Daniel Turner, Blake Howes and Jed Adams, over the prospect of Steven May and Tom McDonald continuing to be surefire senior mainstays. And while philosophically that might be the better approach, it will almost certainly be cause for some growing pains. And while Judd McVee was by no means a key defender, he was a potent interceptor and reliable one-on-one stopper who\u2019ll be missed in the back half in 2026. It comes after Melbourne had one of its poorest defensive campaigns in some time. The Dees\u2019 88.6 average points conceded was their worst output since 2019, while their score-per-inside-50 against rate was 48 per cent; their worst since 2016.<\/p>\n NORTH MELBOURNE <\/p>\n List chasm: Reliability at both ends of ground \u2026 particularly defence<\/p>\n The Kangaroos\u2019 depth in their engine room is considerable, but it\u2019s inside the arcs at both ends of the ground where they\u2019re again likely to be tested in 2026. List manager Brady Rawlings was confident at the beginning of the most recent trade period that his club wasn\u2019t in desperate need of another key defender, however many of their pillars in the back half remain somewhat unproven. Charlie Comben\u2019s move down back was certainly a success this season, however inconsistencies and inexperience remain in the games of other key personnel who could be called on. As much as anything, the Roos just need to develop a and get reps into a back six unit so they can improve their system. Up forward, Jack Darling remains the second key forward for Nick Larkey, but he isn\u2019t the long-term answer once North finally remove themselves from the bottom sector of the ladder. Paul Curtis is going to be a star, if he isn\u2019t already, and Cam Zurhaar can be a star on his day. Matt Whitlock can play at both ends of the ground, but with Finnbar Maley now longer at the club, you would suspect that they\u2019ll be heavily considering one of their early second-round draft picks (currently No. 25 and 26) on the best available key forward.<\/p>\n PORT ADELAIDE<\/p>\n List chasm: Half-back punish<\/p>\n The considerable hole left by dual All-Australian rebounder Dan Houston at the end of last year wasn\u2019t filled anywhere near as well as some would have hoped this year. Ultimately, smooth-moving left-footer Kane Farrell assumed Houston\u2019s old role but didn\u2019t give the side as much run-and-dash as his predecessor. Meanwhile, 22-year-old Josh Sinn\u2019s expected rise as a rebounder didn\u2019t come this year, and Logan Evans couldn\u2019t hold down a consistent senior spot, while Ryan Burton was delisted at the end of this season. It doesn\u2019t take an expert to see that the Power are lacking in this area \u2014 and in the modern-day game, where half-back counterpunch ability is irrefutably crucial to success, the void remains glaring.<\/p>\n 2025 AFL trade period comes to an end | 02:30<\/p>\n RICHMOND<\/p>\n List chasm: Two-way midfielder<\/p>\n Richmond\u2019s midfield combinations were problematic all season, with Adem Yze\u2019s coaching staff consistently looking to inject more pace into a core mix that was generally one-paced. Tim Taranto, Jacob Hopper and Dion Prestia attended the most centre bounces, and while Hopper is capable of exploding from stoppage, they all lack general speed and have the tendency to slouch in defensive transition. This year, Richmond ranked 17th for clearance differential, 17th for points from clearance differential, and 16th for contested possession differential. It shouldn\u2019t shock anyone to say the Tigers would benefit greatly from a two-way midfielder after the club conceded the third-most goals to opposition midfielders this season. However, the longer-term future of Richmond\u2019s engine room looks incredibly bright with Sam Lalor at the forefront, and expect dynamic livewire Taj Hotton to attend more centre bounces in year two.<\/p>\n ST KILDA<\/p>\n List chasm: Key-position attack<\/p>\n The Saints\u2019 tall attack has been utterly hamstrung by Max King\u2019s frustrating injury situation, and the club will be desperately hoping the spearhead can get on the park next year after donuts this year and 23 combined games in the two seasons prior. Small livewire Jack Higgins was the only St Kilda forward to play 23 games this year. Cooper Sharman, who appeared 21 times at senior level this year, has performed admirably in stints but is 10 centimetres shorter than King and isn\u2019t quite a dominant force in attack, while Mitch Owens has been playing as a makeshift tall, and Anthony Caminiti now specialises in defence. One of the big questions looming large over Moorabbin heading into 2026 is how the Tom De Koning-Rowan Marshall dynamic looks. With De Koning now the club\u2019s number-one tapster, Ross Lyon and company will be relying on Marshall to be able to make a consistent impact forward of the ball.<\/p>\n Ross Lyon coy on Aleer backflip | 03:06<\/p>\n SYDNEY SWANS<\/p>\n List chasm: Key back stocks<\/p>\n The Swans successfully lured ex-Hawthorn defender Jai Serong during the trade period. But they still lack true key defensive depth, with Dane Rampe, who\u2019s yet to be offered a new deal for 2026, and Nick Blakey having been made to play taller this year in a defence that was able to be exploited. Outside of Tom McCartin \u2014 who\u2019s had his concussion struggles \u2014 and Lewis Melican, who hasn\u2019t always been a best-23 mainstay, the other listed key defenders on Sydney\u2019s list are Joel Hamling 14, Will Edwards, Patrick Snell and Riak Andrew, who played a combined 14 senior games this season. Rampe, 34, and Hamling, 32, are the Swans\u2019 two oldest current players, highlighting a clear long-term need at the position. After a grand final appearance in 2024, the Swans ranked just 10th this year for score-per-inside-50 allowed. <\/p>\n WEST COAST EAGLES<\/p>\n List chasm: Midfield support<\/p>\n To the surprise of no one, Harley Reid can\u2019t do it all himself in the middle of the ground \u2014 at least, not this early in his career. The Eagles struggled mightily in the guts without the reliable presence of veteran ball-winner Elliot Yeo \u2014 who the club will be hoping can get back on the park next year \u2014 and the stark form drop-off of 2019 All-Australian Tim Kelly. The Eagles are expected to sign former Brisbane midfielder Deven Robertson as a delisted free agent in a move that would add a seasoned, ready-made body to an engine room in need of just that. Further, it would shock most pundits if West Coast didn\u2019t stand pat and draft highly-touted ball-winner Willem Duursma \u2014 this class\u2019 best prospect \u2014 to add to its young midfield brigade. Greater output from the middle portion of the ground is crucial if the Eagles are to improve on their all-time-worst 1-22 campaign.<\/p>\n Merrett’s manager FUMING as trade fails | 00:32<\/p>\n WESTERN BULLDOGS<\/p>\n List chasm: Key defensive stopper<\/p>\n No surprises here for Bulldogs fans. Luke Beveridge\u2019s key defensive void down in defence was widely acknowledged heading into this year\u2019s trade period, but unfortunately, they didn\u2019t recruit anyone who could fill it. The likes of Callum Wilkie and Jordan Butts were linked to the Kennel at the back end of the season, however now their best shot looks to be either signing a delisted free agent, or having a key defender or two train with them throughout the summer before recruiting them as an SSP. Foxfooty.com.au<\/a> understands the club has preliminary interest<\/a> in three-club journeyman Sam Frost, after the club delisted longtime servant Liam Jones in September. Former Tiger Jacob Blight could also be a player worth looking into, as he hopes to continue his AFL career elsewhere. The Dogs are pretty well represented with interceptors in Rory Lobb and James O\u2019Donnell, but could use that bigger-bodied sweeper to really tighten their defence and shut down key forward stars. They last year had a chance to select Matt Whitlock to boost their stocks, but opted against it \u2014 instead selecting midfielder Cooper Hynes.
