Over 100 players are set to enter 2023 eligible for free agency, with several stars of the competition able to hit the market with some freedom next year.
Each club has at least three free agents next year, with at least one name sure to be atop their list of retention signings for the future.
Here we list each club's top re-signing priority heading into 2023.
Essendon
Darcy Parish
Along with skipper Dyson Heppell, the Bombers are needing to secure Darcy Parish and Mason Redman in 2023, with the trio all eligible for free agency.
Parish, arguably the club's best player, is sure to be of interest to rival clubs should his contract status remain open closer to the back end of next season.
Redman also firms as a key re-signing for the Bombers, while Will Snelling is also well placed within Essendon's system.
