With clubs required to finalise their lists ahead of the upcoming draft, there are always a few unlucky players who find themselves on the chopping block.

With former delisted free agents such as Ricky Henderson and Jarryd Lyons making a strong impact at their new clubs, we take a look at the next wave of delisted players, why they should be given another shot at AFL level and where they could land.

In no order, here are five delisted players who deserve a lifeline:

3. Lachie Henderson

With Jake Kolodjashnij and Mark Blicavs cementing themselves in the backline, there was no room for Henderson at the Cattery, resulting in his delisting this off-season. Henderson has played just 13 games in the past two seasons with Geelong and will be hoping to find his fourth club in the coming days.

The former Lion and Blue has played 171 games since being drafted by Brisbane with pick eight in the 2007 national draft, operating as a tall utility player. Like Brown, Henderson's height and versatility will be valuable assets to clubs lacking tall security and with 11 years of AFL experience under his belt, the Geelong Falcons product should find a new home for 2020.

Possible landing spots: Adelaide, Gold Coast, North Melbourne
