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.
8. Lachie Bramble
Bramble's departure might've come as some surprise to those who support the brown and gold, with the 25-year-old's contract not extended at the conclusion of his third season at Waverley.
The defence-midfield hybrid managed 11 appearances for the Hawks this year after starting the season in Sam Mitchell's best 23 before falling in and out of favour until the end of the year.
Bramble would be good for 16.55 disposals this year as a half-back who could float up the ground and work on the outside of stoppages.
He would record 20 or more disposals in 10 of his 13 matches at the state league level for Box Hill in 2023 as a half-back or wing option that could find the ball and look to offer an attacking edge out of defence.
