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)...

7. Andrew Brayshaw (Fremantle)

The Dockers gun midfielder looks as settled and stable at the West Australian club and is touted as the next captain.

Hailing from Victoria, Brayshaw is without a doubt prepping to receive offers from the Melbourne clubs, in particular St Kilda, who have been crying out for a star midfielder since Lenny Hayes.

The 2022 All-Australian and Players' Association MVP has seen the light at the end of the tunnel after being starved of success at Fremantle, with the club ready to take the leap towards its first premiership.
