Kane Cornes has named his 'may never play again' 22 on SEN.com - a side comprised of players who might have played their last AFL game following the league shutdown from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Similar to Cornes' piece, Zero Hanger revealed the 10 AFL Stars who might have played their last game on Thursday.
The former Port Adelaide star explained that clubs will have to make significant squad cutbacks if list sizes are reduced.
โThe reality is, if list sizes may come down, which I think they will say from 45 to 35, thereโs 10 spots across 18 clubs. 180 list spots that wonโt be available,โ Cornes explained onย SENโs The Match Committee.
โThen you couple that with clubs wanting the best available talent in the draft. So 60-70 will still come in so all of a sudden thereโs a 250 player swing of players that we once saw and now we wonโt.
โSo players who would get a one-year deal now may not.โ
