Sam Weideman (Melbourne)ย 

Sam Weideman has found himself on the outside looking in for most the season. Only appearing in five games so far this year, Sam Weideman may attract a lot of interest for clubs interested in beefing up their forward stocks.

At just 24 years of age, Weideman has plenty of potential and could prosper in years to come.

Robbie Gray (Port Adelaide)ย 

Port champion Robbie Gray also becomes an unrestricted free agent at season's end. The 34-year-old has averaged 17 disposals and a goal per game in 2021, however is a big game player and will be looking for premiership success come finals time.

Jack Billings (St Kilda)

One of the more intriguing players coming out-of-contract this year is Jack Billings. The former No.3 pick in the 2013 Draft is sure to be on the radar of multiple clubs.

Billings will still only be 26 years of age at the beginning of next season and will be hoping to hit a sweet spot in terms of form. The Saint averaged 20 disposals and just under a goal a game this season.

Josh J. Kennedy (West Coast)ย 

Much like Shannon Hurn, Josh Kennedy will most likely be weighing up his options regarding retirement or going around for one more season with the Eagles.

Kennedy has kicked 41 goals in season 2021 still showing form that could warrant playing on in 2021. A West Coast legend, Kennedy has played 256 games and booted 675 goals for the Eagles.

Still only 23 years of age, Jack Silvagni also runs out-of-contract this year. Silvagni played in 15 games this season, featuring in the forward line and also at times as a backup ruckman when required. The young Blue averaged 13 disposals and two tackles a game.
