Squad[edit]

Players are listed by guernsey number, and 2023 statistics are for AFL regular season and finals series matches during the 2023 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 Sydney vs Carlton round 11 of the 2023 season (27 May 2023) and are taken from AFL Tables.
