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)...

8. Sam Draper (Essendon)

Arguably one of the most improved ruckmen in the competition, Sam Draper has proven to be a force to be reckoned with, and he's not done with yet.

His athleticism and brute strength are key features of his game, and rival clubs are noticing, in particular, Adelaide.

Draper was drafted out of South Australia from the SANFL, and a homecoming beckons.

The Crows are in desperate need of a star ruckman to lead its youthful on-ballers, but the Bombers won't want to give up the 26-year-old.

Expect a host of other clubs to be circling as well.
