## Squad

    Players are listed by guernsey number, and 2017 statistics are for AFL regular season and finals series matches during the 2017 AFL season only. Career statistics include a player's complete AFL career, which, as a result, means that a player's debut and part or whole of their career statistics may be for another club. Statistics are correct as of Round 23 of the 2017 season (26 August 2017) and are taken from AFL Tables. Please note that this squad refers to AFL-listed players at the club. An additional 24 players not listed here are signed by the club as VFL-listed players, meaning they can only play for the club's seconds team.
