A number of AFL stars are set to be out of contract at the end of the 2024 season.
Clubs will be hoping to extend the contracts of key non-free agents, such as Errol Gulden, Connor Rozee, and Ben King, while rivals will monitor those qualifying for free agency.
The 2024 free agency list already contains some of the competition's biggest names — so who could be on the move next season?

AFL Free Agency
To become a Free Agent, a player must be one of the following:
- Players entering their eighth or ninth season and who are in the top 25 per cent of the club's earners are Restricted Free Agents.
- An Unrestricted Free Agent is a player who's spent eight years at one club but is outside the top 25 per cent of the club's earners or has spent 10+ years under contract.
- Players delisted at any stage of their career and at the end of their contract automatically qualify as free agents.
If a player fails to qualify for free agency but is out of contract, they can only move clubs via trade or the draft.
