Delisted free agency is set to commence next week, with AFL clubs weighing up offers to those that have been placed on the outer in 2022.
The upcoming recruitment window will not only see players gain another chance in the AFL, but could see clubs uncover the next Tyson Stengle, who joined Geelong last November before earning his maiden All-Australian blazer this year.
With over 70 players already delisted this year, we've looked toward 10 of the most prolific players that could re-enter the competition and have named a potential club that could thrown them a lifeline.
Delisted free agency will commence 9:00am Thursday, November 3, running until 5:00pm Wednesday, November 9 before re-opening on at 9:00am Friday, November 11, running until 5:00pm Tuesday, November 15.
10. Mitch Wallis
Wallis has plenty left to give the AFL, with the 30-year-old able to add an unparalleled amount of experience that's on offer for those looking toward the delisted free agency pool.
The versatile midfield/forward option can help steady a younger side like the Suns, who are looking to break the top-eight barrier for the first time in their existence.
With the loss of several key players this off-season, including small forward Izak Rankine, a position in Stuart Dew's side could be there for the taking for Wallis.
Another option for the Suns would be to secure Wallis on a playing contract before having the now-former Bulldog move into the coaching box after his career is all said and done.
