GREATER Western Sydney only added to its already impressive forward line in the off-season, while Hawthorn has shown a strength in depth.
Already blessed with Coleman Medal winner Jesse Hogan and captain Toby Greene, the Giants landed Jake Stringer from Essendon during the Continental Tyres AFL Trade Period.
That means GWS, which suffered a straight-sets finals exit in 2024, is the only club in the competition to have three players on its list to have kicked 50-plus goals in a season.
Those players are hard to find, with four clubs – Collingwood, Fremantle, Port Adelaide and Sydney – having none on their list, while another six have only one.
Unsurprisingly given their experience, the Magpies have the most players to have kicked 100-plus career goals with 11, but the last player to kick at least 50 goals in a season for the club was Travis Cloke in 2013.
After recovering from a 0-5 start to make a semi-final, the Hawks showed their depth with eight players kicking 20-plus goals in 2024.

That was an equal League-high, alongside eventual premier Brisbane.
Mabior Chol, Dylan Moore, Jack Gunston, Jack Ginnivan, Connor Macdonald, Calsher Dear, Nick Watson and Luke Breust all managed to slot at least 20 majors as ‘Hokball’ took centre stage.
Showing the depth of the rebuild at Richmond, just one player – Tom Lynch – on the Tigers’ list has kicked 100 career goals.
Like Essendon, they had an equal League-low two players managing 20-plus goals in 2024, with the Bombers losing one of their two (Stringer) and the Tigers one of theirs in Shai Bolton, who was traded to the Dockers.
