With three weeks left in the 2022 AFL season, and players beginning to call time on their careers, we look toward 10 players that are yet to secure their services for next season.
Whether they be in the twilight of their careers or likely to gain external interest in the off-season, these 10 players are seemingly no certainty to remain at their respective clubs given their current contract status at the start of August.
Some will be putting off contract talks for the remaining rounds of the season, while others will face a nervous wait as their club considers its list plan for the years ahead.
Here we put the magnifying glass over 10 players yet to re-sign for 2023, not necessarily looking at the biggest names off-contract, but those that have flown under the radar in having their futures yet to be determined.

4. Todd Goldsteinย
Another Roos unsigned for next season, Goldstein may have resigned to the idea that 2022 will be his final year at Arden Street.
The 34-year-old recently spoke on his future, planning to play beyond this season.
"Obviously, it's hard not to think about what could be next when you're out of contract. But, for me, I'm just really enjoying focusing on the week-to-week stuff and helping the young kids grow and spending time with the younger guys here," he toldย AFL Media.ย
"I know that my manager Tommy Petroro has got my best interests at hand and he'll present to me what he thinks are my best options."
With Tristan Xerri and Callum Coleman-Jones likely to be favoured for the years ahead at the Roos, Goldstein's time may be up.

He has gained past interest from Geelong, who may continue to push for a ruckman in the open market despite Rhys Stanley's impressive run of form in the back-end of this year.
Recruit Jonathon Ceglar finally made his Geelong debut over the weekend and is no certainty to remain at Kardinia Park beyond this year.
