With the regular season run and done, there are currently 10 playing lists kicking back on a banana lounge somewhere.
Following this weekend's pair of elimination finals, they are set to be joined by a further two teams.
Although these players are enjoying some well-deserved rest and relaxation, the same cannot be said for their club's list management teams.
In an off-season that looks set to bring forth cuts to the salary cap and list sizes, as well as an obvious ambiguity surrounding this year's draft class, said surveyors of talent have their work cut out for them.
These three pitfalls may lead clubs toward identifying and selecting known talent rather than hypothesising over the ceilings of untested teenagers.
Should this be the case, the collection of names on this list are almost certainly on the whiteboards of list management war rooms the nation over.
Below we have predicted the landing spots for 10 of the biggest out-of-contract stars.
6. Jeremy Cameron
Status โ Restricted Free Agent
Verdict โย Re-signs with GWS
Many have touted the GWS spearhead to leave, but do any clubs have the currency to complete the deal?
The price tag on his head will be astronomical.
THE COLEMAN MEDALLIST.

Sure, every club would move heaven and earth at the drop of a hat to create room in their forward line for Cameron, but with the salary cap set to shrivel, who are the leading suitors?
It is for this reason we predict that the Victorian will sign a short-term contract with his current club and explore his options again in the near future.
