The AFL has released the names and types of free agents.
Clubs who lose players to free agency will be compensated with draft picks.
The AFL is yet to announce details of when the free agency period will open and how it will work.
RichmondBrett Deledio Restricted
Nathan Foley Restricted
Luke McGuane Restricted
Kelvin Moore Unrestricted
Shane Tuck Unrestricted
Talking points
Deledio is making all the right noises about wanting to remain a Tiger, so look for him to re-sign well before the end of the season. Foley is another the Tigers would be looking to keep, but would be an excellent depth midfielder in a contending side.
Adelaide CrowsMichael Doughty Unrestricted
Chris Knights Unrestricted
Talking points
Should be a relatively pain-free year for the Crows, who have stars Scott Thompson and Nathan van Berlo signed to contracts beyond this season.
Brisbane LionsJed Adcock Restricted
Simon Black Unrestricted
Jonathan Brown Unrestricted
Josh Drummond Restricted
Ash McGrath Unrestrcited
Talking points
Very hard to see Brown or Black playing anywhere else. Adcock may appeal to rivals, and likewise Drummond, despite his injury woes. But the Lions have the right to match offers to both.
CarltonHeath Scotland Restricted
Jordan Russell Unrestricted
Bret Thornton Unrestricted
Talking points
Jordan Russell's unrestricted status after only eight years' service means he's not in the Blues' top 25 per cent of earners. Sure to attract interest.
CollingwoodTravis Cloke Restricted
Ben Johnson Unrestricted
Harry O'Brien Restricted
Heath Shaw Restricted
Talking points
Speculation surrounding Cloke will be huge until he signs. With salary cap pressure, he'll have to accept less to stay.
EssendonRicky Dyson Unrestricted
Dustin Fletcher Unrestricted
David Hille Unrestricted
Nathan Lovett-Murray Unrestricted
Mark McVeigh Unrestricted
Angus Monfries Restricted
Henry Slattery Unrestricted
Brent Stanton Restricted
Talking points
Little drama on the unrestricted list. Hille could appeal to a club needing a ruckman, but the rest are in the twilight of their career.
FremantleRyan Crowley Unrestricted
Antoni Grover Unrestricted
Luke McPharlin Unrestricte
Talking points
Big names Matthew Pavlich, Aaron Sandilands and David Mundy are all signed to long-term contracts, meaning there shouldn't be too much stress for Freo this year.
Geelong CatsShannon Byrnes Unrestricted
Paul Chapman Unrestricted
Corey Enright Unrestricted
Josh Hunt Unrestricted
Steve Johnson Unrestricted
Matthew Scarlett Unrestricted
David Wojcinski Unrestricted
Talking points
Lots of big names on the list, but Byrnes might be the one to be most worried about. Still young, lots of talent, but in and out of the Cats' team last season.
HawthornChance Bateman Unrestricted
Luke Hodge Unrestricted
Sam Mitchell Unrestricted
Thomas Murphy Unrestricted
Michael Osborne Unrestricted
Brad Sewell Restricted
Clinton Young Unrestricted
Talking points
Hard to see Mitchell or Hodge leaving, particularly while the premiership window is wide open. If Young struggles to break back into the line-up this year, he'll become an obvious candidate to move.
MelbourneMatthew Bate Unrestricted
Lynden Dunn Unrestricted
Brad Green Unrestricted
Mark Jamar Unrestricted
Brent Moloney Restricted
Jared Rivers Unrestricted
Talking points
Ruckmen are always keenly sought after and Jamar is a good one. Happily for Demons fans, the big man has already announced that he wants to re-sign.
North MelbourneBrent Harvey Unrestricted
Michael Firrito Unrestricted
Talking points
North will surely offer Harvey another season as long as he remains injury-free, while Firrito would have limited appeal outside Arden St, but great appeal within it.
Port AdelaideDomenic Cassisi Unrestricted
Troy Chaplin Restricted
Brett Ebert Unrestricted
Danyle Pearce Restricted
Steven Salopek Unrestricted
Jacob Surjan Unrestricted
Talking points
Provided he can stay injury-free, former Dandenong Stingray Salopek might appeal to a Victorian club looking for an injection of class through the midfield. Pearce has been a disappointment since winning the NAB AFL Rising Star, and could do with a fresh start.
St KildaJason Blake Unrestricted
Raphael Clarke Unrestricted
Sam Fisher Restricted
Brendon Goddard Restricted
Jason Gram Restricted
James Gwilt Unrestricted
Lenny Hayes Unrestricted
Justin Koschitzke Unrestricted
Stephen Milne Unrestricted
Leigh Montagna Unrestricted
Talking points
It is all about Goddard down at the Linen House Centre. He says he wants to stay with the Saints, but Tom Scully used similar language this time last year and he now calls Breakfast Creek home. The Giants will surely have a crack.
Sydney SwansJude Bolton Unrestricted
Jarrrad McVeigh Restricted
Jarred Moore Unrestricted
Talking points
Not much for the Swans to concern themselves with. McVeigh won't leave his home city and Bolton might well be in his final season.
West Coast EaglesSam Butler Unrestricted
Andrew Embley Unrestricted
Darren Glass Unrestricted
Daniel Kerr Unrestricted
Quinten Lynch Unrestricted
Mark Nicoski Unrestricted
Matt Rosa Unrestricted
Talking points
It is difficult to see many of these Eagles choosing to play elsewhere. Rosa, a product of the Victorian country, might be tempted back to Victoria with the offer
of more dollars and tenure, but why leave a club that is firmly in premiership contention?
Western BulldogsLindsay Gilbee Unrestricted
Ryan Hargrave Unrestricted
Will Minson Unrestricted
Talking points
Minson can earn himself a new contract with a big season as the undisputed No. 1 ruckman at the club. But if he falls behind Ayce Cordy or Jordan Roughead in the pecking order, then it's uncertain if he would attract much interest from another club.
