A change to the current free agency model is on the board at the end of 2027 following the expiration of the current Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Free agency has been in the spotlight this week with Oscar Allen and Sam Draper becoming premiers for Brisbane after departing struggling clubs.
Speaking on AFL Trade Radio, AFL head of football performance and list management, Justin Reid, said a discussion would be held about whether it needs to be amended.
"It's very aligned to the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) and that (expires) at the end of 2027, so I think there'll be ongoing conversations about what that looks like and how that impacts either player movement and how it assists or not assists competitive balance," Reid said.
"So I think what we do is look at world sport and understand player movement, what that looks like, and then how we can apply that to our game."
Matt Rowell, Noah Anderson, Tom Green and Chad Warner are among the leading free agents next year.
Rowell is expected to court interest from Victorian clubs, while Warner has previously considered a move back home to Western Australia, and Tom Green has stated the likelihood of success will drive his decision. He has been linked to Tasmania.
Reid added that the league was open-minded to evolving in the pick-purchasing space away from needing a player to be tied to a deal.
He also confirmed a new draft value index would be introduced next year ahead of Tasmania's introduction.
Reid spoke about his dialogue with the Devils following the club signing its first batch of players on Tuesday night and said clubs are hot on the phone asking about compensation for players Tasmania would sign, which he was unable to confirm.
"The charter from the executive and the commission is to make Tasmania as competitive (as possible) as quickly as we can," Reid said.
