The first of three delisted free agency windows will open next Wednesday following the first list lodgement of the off-season for AFL clubs.
The signing window will give players who have recently been discarded an opportunity to prove their value at the elite level, with the likes of Tyson Stengle, Mitch Robinson, Dylan Roberton and Joel Hamling among those who have found success at new clubs after being delisted.
The opening window will commence on November 1 and will run for one week, with the period open again from 9:00am-5:00pm (AEDT) two days later. The period will again recommence at the completion of the National Draft on November 21.
While players who did not have a contract for the 2023 season are able to be recruited via delisted free agency, there are a number of recently culled candidates that could earn a reprieve at a new club this off-season.
We've looked at some of the players who might be worth a look as a cheaper acquisition for clubs to consider.
10. Brynn Teakle
The ruck merry-go-round was in full spin once again this off-season and could continue through delisted free agency - potentially including discarded Port Adelaide tall Brynn Teakle.
The East Fremantle product departed Alberton after one-and-a-half seasons with the Power after he was recruited out of the WAFL through the 2022 Mid-Season Draft as a promising ruck-forward hybrid.
Teakle was also trialled as a defender this year in the SANFL and would show some promise in the role, emerging as a versatile key position talent for clubs to potentially consider.
Several clubs have already been linked to the 24-year-old, who could gain further interest as the market for ruckman remains active.
