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.

9. Bachar Houli

Status โ€“ Unrestricted Free Agent
Verdict โ€“ย Re-signs with Richmond

To say that Bachar Houli's season has been unconventional, is like claiming that water is wet.

Family illnesses, new additions to the family and injury initially derailed the 32-year old's season, but now back in the side, his sights will be set purely on a third Tiger flag.

As recently as this week, whispers have become murmurs about the veteran's future at Tigerland, with his former club Essendon suggesting they would like to secure his services once more.

Fear not though, Tiger Army, as we're of the opinion that your much-loved back flanker will either ink a new deal or call time on his career completely.
