PORT Adelaide might have a relatively experienced list going into this season, but it will also enter its 2019 campaign with the most players yet to have featured at AFL level.
Remarkably, 14 of Port Adelaide's 46-man squad – nearly a third of its list – are yet to make their senior debuts, with eight of those players taken in the most recent NAB AFL Draft.
CLUB LISTS COMPARED Oldest? Youngest? Most experienced?
The Power picked up Connor Rozee, Zak Butters and Xavier Duursma at the national draft, while recruiting Tobin Cox, Boyd Woodcock and Riley Grundy in the rookie draft.
Martin Frederick and Kai Pudney also signed as Category B rookies.
Those eight players are joined by Sam Hayes, Joel Garner, Willem Drew, Jake Patmore, Peter Ladhams and Cameron Hewett in having not yet played an AFL match on Port's list.
FUTURE PICKS Who you should barrack against in 2019
Brisbane, Geelong and Sydney have the next most players without an AFL debut on their lists with 12 each, while Greater Western Sydney and West Coast have 11 each.
Surprisingly, Carlton and Collingwood – who finished at opposing ends of the ladder last season – are tied for the fewest players on their lists without an AFL debut with seven each.
The number of players yet to debut at AFL clubs doesn't necessarily correlate with list turnover at the end of last season. For example, Port Adelaide (which has the most players yet to debut) dumped 11 players last year. Carlton (which has the fewest) got rid of 12.
WHO'S LEFT YOUR CLUB? All the latest retirements and delistings
At the other end of the spectrum, Hawthorn is clearly the most experienced list in the AFL.
The Hawks have the most players of any team in the competition with more than 150 games under their belts, with 12 of the club's 46-man list already hitting that landmark.
Hawthorn also averages more games per player (80.35 games) than any team, with Gold Coast (50.15 games) possessing the most inexperienced list entering season 2019.
