With the trade period out of the way, the delisted free agency mechanism will open to further aid the list builds of clubs keen to bring in experienced AFL assets.

A range of talented players have been shown the door since the cessation of their respective seasons, with many of those cut from lists good enough for another chance.

Clubs across the competition have areas of their squad to fill away from the draft, with key position players who can have an immediate impact among those list needs.

Young clubs that can afford to take a punt on a delisted free agent and contending sides that can secure some depth at a bargain price will also be shopping.

Here we've listed 10 promising delisted free agents and a club that could suit their services.

Has the 'Dimma' effect already kicked in at the Suns?

Berry has reportedly attracted interest from both West Coast and GWS as the Horsham junior looks likely to land at a third AFL club.

A small forward who is more known for his front-half pressure than his threat on goal, Berry can roll far up the field and be accountable for his opponent, which, in this new age of aggressive half-backs, is important.

The Eagles will have ample list room to accommodate experienced recruits this off-season, having been handed four extra list spots for rookies.

Berry can fill in a void in the front half after the loss of Liam Ryan, and allow the likes of Malakai Champion and other young smalls more time to develop.
