The list of the names still out-of-contract at the end of 2021 is star-studded.
With the mid-way point of the season approaching, clubs will want to be getting their big names off the market as opposition teams prepare offers for some of the game's biggest names.
The likes of Patrick Cripps, Marcus Bontempelli, Harry McKay, Jack Billings and Zach Merrett are all out of contract and could be tempted by big money and long-term offers to leave their current clubs.
Every club will have their eyes on potential new recruits, but they may need to get their own ducks in a row before looking elsewhere.
We've named the look at the priority out-of-contract re-sining for every club. Did we get it right?
Richmond
Shai Bolton
Bolton has become one of Richmond's best players. His start to 2021 has been electrifying and he is one of the game's most dynamic midfielders. The young West Australian is able to win the footy and use it more often than not, going at 70 per cent disposal efficiency. He is set to be offered big money to return home to Western Australia, but the Tigers will be well served by securing Bolton and doing so for the long-term.
