Squad

Players are listed by jersey number, and 2014 statistics are for AFL regular season and finals series matches during the 2013 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 of Round 19 of the 2014 season (3 August 2014) and are taken from AFL Tables
