    2019 Free Agents

    It seems clubs for the most part have managed free agency well. A large portion are around, at or over 30 years old. I doubt many of that senior brigade would leave their clubs either. There's not many players who would make an immediate impact, if we were to chase them. Namely: Congilio, Tomlinson, Sam Day, Alex Sexton. Not sure they're gettable.

    Ours are Libba (again), Roberts, Dickson, Picken & Morris.

    We might have a quite year incoming and outgoing.

    Cogs would be near impossible to get given GWS allowed Shiel to go last year and even if he wanted out, I'd imagine he'd want to go back to WA. Tomlinson is the most interesting to me. He's not a star by any means but he's an important part of their team and under the radar enough that he might be gettable.

    Maybe Fletch needs to explore his options. If Liam doesn't get on the park this year may pull the pin.
    Tory will need to get back his kicking skills or he may pull the pin or try elsewhere.
    Tom should get an extension if round one is anything to go by.

    Is Tom Boyd’s wage dropping as his contract gets shorter ? If so it’s opening up a chance to pick a good one up next year.

    Coniglio obviously.

    Tomlinson or Astbury would fill a need.

    Agree with Sexton.

    We need to stitch up Libba about half way through the season if all is going well on and off the field.

    Cog's in a heartbeat. Astbury is a quality defender that would slip into Morris' vacancy nicely.

    I'd be disappointed if we don't have a crack at Kelly (GWS) or Coniglio.
    They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

    Free agency list for 2019 to lengthen as AFL amends classification

    At least 46 players not on the official AFL free agency list released to the public on Monday are eligible to change clubs as free agents at the end of this season.

    The clubs were sent a list this week that included the 46 delisted free agents who are now eligible as free agents under new rules adopted for 2019 that see a player remain a free agent for life once their free agency status is activated.

    Although the delisted players are not stars of the competition players such as the Brisbane Lions' Mitch Robinson, Hawthorn's Ricky Henderson and Greater Western Sydney's Lachie Keeffe are on the updated list of free agents sent to clubs.

    They are free agents under new rules adopted for this season meaning a player previously delisted by any club (a delisted free agent) will be a delisted free agent at the end of each subsequent contract.

    Fremantle's Joel Hamling would have been a free agent under the new rules but he recently extended his time at the Dockers by four years when he signed a new contract while Geelong's Sam Menegola is likely to be a free agent when he comes out of contract at the end of 2020.

    The addition of delisted players to the list means there will now be more than 100 players who could change clubs as a free agent this season, adding another layer of activity to the player movement market.

    Players delisted who are playing state league in 2019 such as former Magpie Jarryd Blair and former Crow Mitch Grigg will also be free agents at the end of the season.

    The AFL is also understood to be working on sending another update to clubs that will reclassify some players initially listed as unrestricted free agents that may in fact be restricted free agents.

    The clubs are aware of the delisted players who are eligible as free agents but there has been some concern about the incorrect classification of players in relation to restricted and unrestricted as they have been left to work their way through any confusion with their club and managers.

    The new conditions affecting classification came into play after Adelaide's Rory Sloane's classification caused the AFL to make a ruling on when players were automatically listed as unrestricted.

    Under new rules the condition that a player must have come out of contract after eight years to then qualify for unrestricted free agency at 10 years has been removed. All players coming out of contract after their eighth year are now unrestricted free agents.

    There is also some confusion as to whether a player who has changed clubs as a free agent such as Carlton's Dale Thomas will be a free agent when they next come out of contract with varying views on whether such players will be a free agent at the end of each contract with their new club.

    The AFL is expected to release an updated list to clubs with reclassification in coming days while they will also send a revised list to the public next week.
