Players across the land will be crossing their fingers and training the house down in coming weeks, as the dreaded list-culling season approaches.
Whether it be a respected veteran looking to go around once more (à la Jake Melksham), a lowly draft pick who hasn't quite cracked the seniors (like a Reece Torrent), or a fringe player whose side is flying (à la Bailey Banfield), there are tough calls to be made at all 18 AFL clubs.
Who will be knocking on the coach's door in the hopes of finding out where he stands in the coming weeks, at your club?
Take a look!
Brisbane
2023 draftee Reece Torrent is yet to break through for a senior debut - an ominous sign after almost three completed seasons in Brisbane's heralded environment.
James Tunstill is in and out of Chris Fagan's side regularly, and his inability to bed down a full-time role for himself after five years could spell danger for him, too.
25-year-old Luke Beecken has not added to his one career game from 2025 this season, which could also spell curtains.
After just 14 games at the Lions in three seasons, and only three this year, 29-year-old Irishman Darragh Joyce could be shown the door, too.
