Essendon has delisted midfielder Elijah Tsatas after a maligned four seasons at The Hanger.
Once a celebrated Pick 5 in the draft, Tsatas never made his mark on the club. However, the development of players at Essendon has been left wanting for a long time now.
It is only four years on from him being in the top five best junior footballers in the country, so which club would be the best landing spot for him to utilise his speed, clean disposal use and ball-winning ability, while also helping him grow his impact and defensive efforts?
The 21-year-old midfielder dominates the game at VFL level, so could an AFL club with a strong ability to develop its players get the best out of Tsatas?
Here are Zero Hanger's suggestions for landing spots:
Richmond
The Tigers need more of everything: talent, depth, midfielders.
Tsatas can find the football with ease, and could work as a distributor to Richmond's exciting young brigade of Sam Lalor, Taj Hotton, Sam Cumming and more.
He is only 21, so he fits perfectly into the Tigers' age bracket, and is still in the malleable stage of his career.
Richmond needs players, and Tsatas needs game time. At Punt Road, he would nearly be guaranteed that and perhaps then he could find continuity in his game while also working on his defensive work and impact forward of the ball.
The Tigers can't use their draft picks on anyone - except for Zak Butters - but draftees. So a low-cost Tsatas could be perfect.
Would be good at Richmond need another accumulator and distributor of the ball.
