AFL squads: 2022 rosters, injury concerns

The 2022 AFL season opener is just around the corner, and SuperCoach squad planning is in full swing.

Starting squads will chop and change throughout the pre-season, as injuries inevitably strike clubs as preparations heat up.

Below we drop each squad to begin the year, with the line-up courtesy of AFL.com.

We’ve updated each injury concern internally, listing those in doubt for round 1. We’ve also included your Draft picks who will be in contention this season.

We’ll continually update as the pre-season unfolds.
