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.
9. Sydney Stack
While placed in a contrasting position as far as their league standing, Geelong join West Coast in placing their attention toward the future as they continue to rejuvenate their list on the run.
The Cats recruited a trio of former first-round picks in Tanner Bruh, Ollie Henry and Jack Bowes through the trade window and will continue to build their youthful stocks through the National Draft.
But a selection that comes at little cost is former Tiger Sydney Stack, who could flourish in Geelong's thriving environment.
Like fellow ex-Tiger and 2022 All-Australian Tyson Stengle, the Cats could get the most out of Stack's potential by handing the 22-year-old another chance.
