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.

The Eagles have been in the market for experienced assets, while their key defensive options remain scarce despite the acquisition of Tylar Young from Richmond.
Young looks set to work with Harry Edwards and Reuben Ginbey on Andrew McQualter's last line, while Sandy Brock and Rhett Bazzo will make their case as senior options at selection.
What that group requires is a senior head who can be positioned as a mentor and can slot into a vacancy if one opens up through injury.
Jones wouldn't be used to take a spot in the pecking order ahead of one of the younger backmen, but instead would be a stopgap if McQualter's rearguard comes under attack like it did this year in the absence of the long-serving Jeremy McGovern and Tom Barrass.
