As always, there will be plenty of interest in which players are off-contract at the end of the 2024 season.
A host of the competition’s big guns are still unsigned beyond this year and will be fielding big offers from rivals.
We’ve got every club’s free agents below, as well as players whose deals run out at the end of this season but don’t qualify for free agency.

McGuire fears the club doesn’t have a strong enough identity and says they are the prime candidate to make way if the AFL opts to keep the competition at 18 teams. “If North don’t (expand their influence to northern Victoria), I can tell you – non-Victorian presidents and some of the Victorian presidents, don’t want to have 19 teams,” McGuire said on Nine’s Eddie and Jimmy podcast on Monday.
“There’s an easy solution for this. One will go. And it wasn’t that long ago that St Kilda were right under the microscope on this.”
The former long-term Collingwood boss has long been critical of adding a 19th team. Before Tasmania were confirmed as a new side in the league, McGuire urged the AFL to merge North Melbourne with the Tasmanian side and share its schedule between Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium and the proposed $750 million Hobart Stadium.
