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?

Tough calls abound at the Cattery.
Veterans Jed Bews, Jake Kolodjashnij, Rhys Stanley and Mark Blicavs are all out of contract at year's end, with the latter the most likely to be renewed.

Jhye Clark has found form at the right time as his contract's termination approaches, while ex-Sun Jack Bowes is another line-ball call. He has interest from Essendon.
