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)...
4. Finn Callaghan (GWS)
A star Giant who is ready to emerge as one of the game's best young talents.
Callaghan has Bontempelli-like tendencies and would suit most clubs, especially those willing to hand over a hefty cheque.
The 21-year-old is getting more midfield minutes and is likely to team up with Tom Green if he stays in New South Wales for the next decade.
However, the lure of home (Melbourne) could be enough for rivals to start prepping their pitch for the classy left-footer.
Callaghan has already been linked with the Saints.
