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.
9. Flynn Perez
Another half-back AFL clubs might consider given his youth and potential, Perez's time at Arden Street was up and down over his four years with the Roos.
Perez joined North Melbourne after an injury-riddled draft journey but would join the club via the 2019 National Draft and would make his debut the following year - ending his maiden season with three matches to his name.
A serious knee injury would sideline him for the entirety of 2021, with Perez soon working his way back from the injury to play in 16 games last year.
Perez would manage five games in 2023 before being delisted, but would put forward some memorable pieces of play to catch the eye of onlookers.
