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.

6. Blake Acres
Acres' future at Fremantle could rely on Luke Jackson's much-awaited decision.
It's been reported the Dockers are placing a section of their salary to the side in their move to lure Jackson back home, meaning several unsigned Dockers will need to tread water in before knowing where their future lies.
Acres has recently been named among those who could be pushed out should the Cockburn club should Jackson arrive, with Joel Hamling, Griffin Logue and Rory Lobb also linked to the exit.

Acres is enjoying a career season in 2022, and would offer a silver service for any club looking to bolster their wing stocks.
