The 2026 AFL Trade Period is in the books, and the delisted free agent mechanism will open as another avenue clubs can use to improve their list.
Jake Stringer will join St Kilda as a delisted free agent, while North Melbourne is set to sign Elijah Tsatas and Samson Ryan.
Former Saint Isaac Keeler is pushing for an AFL lifeline at Port Adelaide, and was spotted training with members of the club earlier this week.
Wil Parker is all but locked in to arrive at Carlton in November on a two-year deal once the delisted free agency period opens.
Former Western Bulldogs forward Dom Bedendo has signed with Fremantle as a DFA after spending the past two years in the VFL.
But who'll follow next?
Here we've listed ANOTHER 10 promising delisted free agents and a club that could suit their services.
Luke Beecken
Carlton
The former Lion was starved of AFL opportunities, which were largely due to playing at a club that has won back-to-back-to-back premierships.
Beecken dominated the VFL, winning the club's past two best and fairests, and was endorsed by development coach Scott Thompson as someone who should be playing AFL football.
The 2024 mid-season draftee can play in the midfield and across half-back, with his speed and ball use key attributes of his game.
Carlton has an interest in bringing in speed across half-back, reflected by the acquisition of Lachie Whitfield, while former Pie Wil Parker will be brought in to fill a defensive need.
Billy Wilson has emerged as a strong candidate for one running defensive position, but the Blues would love to add more, especially after farewelling icon Adam Saad.
