Female women (STT Cilda): Port Adelaide and Adelaide would like to attract the House of Santo Nascente In the south of Australia and the friendship of Wanganeen-Milera with Jason Horne-Francis and Jase Burgoyne ensure that power has the internal race if you choose to leave. The crows offered Wanganeen-Milan a six-year agreement that could extend to eight. No decision is imminent, but the young defender is happy in Melbourne, so St Kilda will be desperate to show him that they have a bright future.

Harley Reid (West Coast): Another player on Hawthorn’s radar, but I’m not the only club interested in the nineteen year old who is contracted until 2026. He could start with a year earlier, but there is a lot of water to go under the bridge before any decision is taken on his future. The priority for all those who are connected to Reid is to allow him to focus on the accommodation in the rhythm of being a professional athlete.

Zak Butters (Port Adelaide): Age reported this week Hawthorn, Richmond, being and colringwood will be pretenders If the “pre-agent” of Power-Rai the Agency frees next year-the commercial house in Victoria has requested. Butters, who has a close bond with the outgoing coach Ken Hinkley, is one of the best players of the FL, so the club tail in line for a shot against him is not surprising, but Port Adelaide will not let him go without fighting.

Luke Davies-Uncke (North Melbourne): He has a seven -year agreement in front of him from North Melbourne, and should remain at the Kangaroos. However, until his decision is announced, he remains a joker.

Matt Rowell (Gold Coast): Rowell met Geelong, being, Collingwood and Western Bulldogs (two sources said they were hit by the presentation of Luke Beveridge) in October, so he focused on playing well for Gold Coast in 2025. There is no hurry to decide his future while playing brilliant football and not distracted by uncertainty. He could obviously sign again for two seasons that take him to the free agency, but he is happy to take the time that weighs his next move.

Brayden Maynard (Collingwood): North did not make an official offer but are interested in its type, realizing that they must add grunt to their team and rebound in half. Most of the sources of competition still believe that a magpie will remain, but the kangaroos are more likely to appreciate it in the interval of $ 800,000 a year. Their interest has shown other clubs there is the possibility that it can be attracted to Collingwood, planting the seed that could move.

Chad Warner (Sydney): An intriguing situation with Warner who keeps his cards nearby after a first season trip to Perth to spend time with the family. It remains a level of trust that will remain with the swans for two more seasons. But the offers of the Clubs of Western Australia are so attractive that they cannot be fired without serious consideration.

Kysaiah Pickt (Melbourne): Picktt Nostalgia battles of nostalgia in the low season AFLBut he has a good relationship with the coach Simon Goodwin and is contracted until the end of 2027. He previously played with the idea of ​​returning to Western Australia or South Australia without seriously pursuing him. The president of the demons Brad Green told this masthead they wanted Two or three choices in the first round In return, if Picstt requested a trade.

Brandon Starcevich (Brisbane): Three cerebral emotions in short succession have complicated planning, but has an interest from the clubs of western Australia. The Lions discussed that they offered him agreements ranging from two to six seasons before the last brain emotion in the first round.

Teak Aleer (GWS): St Kilda was open to give the giants slightly played to an agreement of six years if he crossed them during the commercial period of 2024. However, Aler decided to carry out his contract this year. He told this masthead in the pre-stage That the number of AFL games that plays in 2025 would be a factor in his decision. The saints remain interested, but also Brisbane was in the mix long before the start of this season.

Five names to watch

James Worpel (hawthorn): Choice n. 45 of Worldel is more than reimbursed in 2017 and its constant performance is highlighted in its repeated goals between the five years in the Club Champion prize, including the victory in 2019. The hard -cut midfielder, who played only once this year due to an ankle injury, is a limited free agent. The hawthorn has a deep rotation on the ballSo a profitable offer from another club could be able to take it from Waverley Park.

Wayne Milera (Adelaide): Milera grew up in Adelaide and it was the choice n. 11 In the draft of 2015, but fought with various injuries. His five -year agreement expires at the end of the season and played the first three games in 2025 without setting fire to the world. The most likely scenario is that Milera remains with the crows, but another injury could make things interesting.

Brodie Kemp (Carlton): St Kilda knocked at the end of the commercial period last year, but Carlton had no interest in moving him. The blues chose Kemp at n. 17 In the draft of 2019 while he was recovering from an ACL injury and further setbacks limited him to the beginning of his career. The Swingman outside the contract, which has played 38 games in the last two seasons, has begun as a defender, but since then he has passed forward-e he scored five goals last Friday evening against Western Bulldogs.

Jayden Laverde (Esandon): Laverde was obtained in the commercial period last year, but remains in Tulillamarine for the last year of her contract. It turns 29 this month and can change clubs without an exchange as a free agent without restrictions, so it could be an attractive option for the teams that hunt the defensive depth. Laverde has yet to appear at AFL level in 2025 due to a arrest trip.

Darcy Cameron (Collingwood): Premiership magpies is contracted until 2026 with an agreement of approximately $ 450,000 per year. This is underestimated for Ruck n. 1 who came second in the Best and Farnest prize last year. The western coast is interested and the Victorian clubs are monitoring its situation. At least, the Magpies may want to consider the recasting at better conditions for the next season.
