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?
Geelong
Cam Guthrie
A career-best season in 2020 has been followed up by a blistering start to 2021 as Guthrie confirms his status as one of the game's best midfielders. He is a terrific ball user and his pace to break lines is a high priced commodity in today's game. Geelong's salary cap has to be close to full and Guthrie could be tempted by substantially bigger offers elsewhere.
