Close to 100 AFL players have been delisted in 2024, with a handful more than worthy of another chance in the top flight.
Eight players cut from a club last year managed to find a new home for the most recent season, with Jeremy Sharp (Fremantle), Lachie Bramble (Western Bulldogs) and Patrick Voss (Fremantle) among the best bargain pickups.
With the first delisted free agency window opening on Friday, we've looked at ten recently culled players who could suit another AFL club for the 2025 season.
Here's what we've come up with...
1. Adam Tomlinson
Collingwood
A player who has been tied to the Magpies during the off-season, with Tomlinson suiting a clear list need at Collingwood.
The Magpies struggled to fill the void opened by Nathan Murphy's departure this year, with the change a factor in captain Darcy Moore having a down year and Collingwood missing finals in their flag defence.
Tomlinson is more than worthy of finding a spot at his third AFL club, with his ability to play as either an intercept or lockdown defender still at a good level in 2024.
The recently delisted Demon played a consistent brand of football this year but couldn't cement a role ahead of premiership trio Steven May, Jake Lever and Tom McDonald, with a move to Collingwood perhaps an ideal outcome for all parties.
