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?

Jake Riccardi
Riccardi was a shining light in an otherwise poor 2020 season for the Giants and looked to be the heir apparent to 2019 Coleman medallist Jeremy Cameron following his move to Geelong.
However, Riccardi has found himself out of the side in 2021 and even being deployed in defence at VFL level. He is a great size and age and has shown he can impact games at AFL level. You would expect the Victorian to be on the radar of a few clubs. Josh Kelly seems an obvious miss here, but he has a $8 million trigger option over eight years to stay at GWS, a deal they may not want to take on anymore.
Four goals and nine marks in your second game seems pretty reasonable!
