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)...
1. Marcus Bontempelli (Western Bulldogs)
The biggest name in the competition but isn't expected to go anywhere.
Bontempelli captains the Bulldogs and has been "the man" since he joined the club a decade ago.
Fell shy of becoming a premiership skipper but inched closer to joining Scott West as the record holder for the most Charles Sutton medals.
Unless something drastically changes, expect the 'Bont' to be a one-club player.
Honourable mentions
Miles Bergman (Port Adelaide)
Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera (St Kilda)
Sam Darcy (Western Bulldogs)
