Players may change their position throughout the year, however the position allocated to their Player Card won't change for the remainder of that season. Player positions are reviewed annually by the GameDay Squad team and their Player Card is updated before the start of the following season. GameDay Squad uses StatsPerform (https://www.statsperform.com/) for positional analysis. If our stats provider lists a player as dual position, GameDay Squad not having dual positions will have the final say in what position a player will be for the upcoming season. The base process generally follows the following process: GameDay Squad Aussie Rules: MID/Other - FWD/DEF/RUCK

FWD/DEF, FWD/RUCK, RUCK/DEF, DEF/RUCK - Predominant position as indicated by the stats providers

Example 1 - Jason Horne-Francis MID/FWD 2024 - FWD GameDay Squad 2025

Example 2 - Luke Jackson FWD/RUCK 2024 - FWD GameDay Squad 2025

Example 3 - David Swallow FWD/DEF 2024 - FWD GameDay Squad 2025
