Season 2024 and the accompanying trade and free agency periods are left in the review mirror with a stern focus on next month's National Draft.
Whilst all 18 clubs are looking at bringing in the country's best young talent, list managers are also preparing their best pitches in retaining - or luring - some of the game's stars.
Sydney's Chad Warner will be highly sought after by Western Australian clubs as both Fremantle and West Coast sell the dream of playing in his home state.
Western Bulldogs captain enters 2025 in a contract year, but a UFO would have to land on planet Earth to see him depart the Kennel.
Bontempelli and Warner are two of over 250 players who will be looking for extensions beyond next year.
And here are the 10 BIGGEST off-contract names (in team order)...
10. Cam Rayner (Brisbane)
Brisbane's matchwinner proved his worth during the 2024 finals campaign and would warrant a huge contract extension.
Rayner will enter free agency in 2026 (likely as a restricted free agent) but is a required member of the Lions outfit.
The former Pick 1 pledged his allegiance to the Queensland club recently, but who to say a play from a Victorian rival - Rayner's home state - couldn't lure him south.
