Today marks the first day of the delisted free agency period, with clubs now having the opportunity to sign uncontracted players from November 3 until November 9, before another opportunity from November 11 to November 15.
It remains a somewhat rare occurrence, but nonetheless, an opportunity to pick up players ahead of the draft with little to no cost could be what most clubs are looking for.
We take a look at one delisted free agent that each club could be interested in taking.
Collingwood
Patrick Naish
Patrick Naish has already been linked to the Magpies, per AFL Media reports.
The 22-year-old has played just nine games in the senior side at Richmond, before being delisted.
Naish is a hard runner with exceptional foot skills, averaging 29 disposals per game in the VFL for the Tigers. His exceptional form in the VFL was under the coaching of Craig McRae, who of course now heads the Collingwood senior side.
What a grab from Patrick Naish 🙌

As a midfielder/forward, Naish's ability to provide attacking options by foot inside 50 will be welcomed by the Pies, as they were ranked last in the competition for total inside 50s.
