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.
Ollie Lord
Melbourne
The injury-prone forward struggled to get his body right, but many people remember his qualifying final performance against Brisbane in 2023.
Lord was drafted in 2020, but knee injuries limited his output to 35 matches, including one this year.
Should Melbourne take a punt on Lord?
The Demons were all-in on Hawk Calsher Dear and landed Zane Duursma. But would a bargain-buy like Lord appeal to the club?
They farewelled Aidan Johnson and Shane McAdam, and are keen to bolster the key forward stocks.
Lord can also play as a back-up ruck when needed.
