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)...
6. Sam De Koning (Geelong)
A premiership defender two years ago but struggled to have the same impact in 2024.
De Koning is blessed with versatility, as proven when thrown into the ruck at times this year by coach Chris Scott.
However, the youngster wasn't selected for the finals series, which begs the question: is he gettable?
De Koning is still way off free agency, so a trade will need to be brokered, but the Cats are used to attracting stars to their club, not losing them.
