The Western Bulldogs and Geelong will take the oldest lists into the 2023 season, while the depth of Hawthorn's rebuild is clear.

The reigning premiers, the Cats, will have an average age of 25.3 when the season begins on March 16.

The Bulldogs are the same age, but have significantly less experience than Geelong's average of 92.4 games, with the Dogs' average of 75.8 making them the fifth-most experienced list.

Hawthorn, meanwhile, will enter 2023 as the youngest and least experienced side, and by some margin.

With Jack Gunston, Tom Mitchell and Jaeger O'Meara all traded during the off-season, the Hawks are in rebuild mode and have an average games played of 42.6, significantly less than the next team – Adelaide with 51.7.
