St Kilda is shaping up to be one of the biggest movers in the upcoming off-season, and captain Jack Steele could be among them.
Following his exit meeting, the Saints captain was told that he is "welcome" to explore his options at rival clubs if he seeks more permanent midfield time.
Steele, who is contracted until 2027 and wants to remain in Moorabbin, has already been linked with former club GWS throughout the year in a bid to bolster their on-ball stocks.
But there is a host of clubs around the competition that would benefit from the 29-year-old's services.
So, which teams could make a 'Moneyball' selection and pry Steele out of St Kilda?
We look at five potential landing spots for Jack Steele.

Steele began his AFL career in New South Wales after he was drafted from the ACT Rams with Pick 24 in the 2014 draft intake.
GWS is in need, and has been on the front foot in terms of bolstering their midfield stocks, having been linked with Melbourne's Clayton Oliver.
Adam Kingsley would like more support for Tom Green and Finn Callaghan, who, despite their immediate rise to stardom, and relatively in their infancy in the top-flight.
Stephen Coniglio and Josh Kelly battled with injuries throughout the year, while the retirement of club legend Callan Ward also opens a vacancy.
Steele is the perfect balance of contested ball-winning and defensive running as a midfielder, which could be a much-needed addition to the Giants' line-up.
