Over 200 AFL players are still without deals for 2025, with all 18 clubs having at least one big name still unsigned beyond the current season and facing some level of uncertainty around their future.
From captains to premiership stalwarts, emerging young guns to stars in demand, there is a plethora of big names who have decisions to make over the coming months.
Some clubs have a heap of work to do in the list management space to retain key figures for the coming years, while others have been busy throughout the year so far to decrease their list of off-contract names.
Here we've named each club's biggest looming contract call ahead of the off-season.

The former Crows captain has played down suggestions he'd ever leave West Lakes for another club, with talks between Adelaide and their all-time leading goalkicker to ramp up over the coming weeks.
An extension for Walker, who has kicked the fourth most goals in Matthew Nicks' side this year, would see the veteran sharpshooter step into a 17th season with the Crows.
While maybe not bringing the same impact as recent seasons, which includes a 76-goal campaign in 2023, Walker remains an integral piece with his leadership and forward nous.
The Crows will also need to hold talks over the future of veteran defender Brodie Smith, while the likes of recent debutant Hugh Bond and midfielder Sam Berry should earn new deals.
