Michael Barlow
The out-of-contract midfielder's time at Fremantle appears up. Rival interest in the 28-year-old was limited during the trade period, but as a delisted free agent he could appeal to teams looking to add midfield depth.

Ricky Henderson
The Crows defender has attracted interest in his native Victoria after Adelaide informed him it was not in a position to offer him a new contract. A strong chance to find a new home.

Zac Clarke
The Fremantle free agent is getting closer to re-signing with the Dockers having fielded rival interest as an unrestricted free agent this year.

Mitch Brown
The key defender wants to return home to Victoria after 94 games in 10 seasons with West Coast. After being overlooked in the free agency period, his best hope of being picked up will be as a delisted free agent.

Xavier Richards
The versatile Swans tall requested a last-minute trade home to Victoria but attracted no genuine offers. Swans football chief Tom Harley said on Thursday the club would look to reopen talks with Richards, but he remains set on a move if he can find an interested club.

Dean Towers
The 189cm Swans utility attracted interest from the Brisbane Lions and Victorian clubs late in the year. Harley said on Thursday the club would continue talks with Towers, but his chances of finding a new home appear good if he decides on a move.

Jarryd Blair
The small forward should re-sign with Collingwood, with the parties in a good position to negotiate a new deal now the trade period is over.

Tom Lonergan
Geelong is keen for the veteran defender to play on in 2017 but the 32-year-old has yet to announce his plans. Remains a key part of the Cats' backline so we expect him to continue.

Drew Petrie
The former Roo spearhead is hoping to extend his career at West Coast. The Eagles took Geelong forward/ruckman Nathan Vardy on the last day of the trade period, but are likely to add another experienced tall to help cover Nic Naitanui's absence in 2017, so Petrie's hopes remain alive.

Dylan Buckley
One of a host of out-of-contract Carlton players kept in limbo during the trade period, the running defender's future at Ikon Park will be decided soon. Played just 11 games in 2016 but, at 23, seems well placed to earn another contract.

Andrejs Everitt
Spent time in the VFL this season and could be forced out of Carlton as the club looks to get game time into younger players. Almost made his way to Gold Coast in last year's trade period and, at 27, will have some appeal if he becomes a delisted free agent.

Josh Green
The Tasmanian small forward was hoping for a trade away from the Gabba and appears a long shot to return. Has been linked to Essendon and could find his way there in the pre-season draft.

Mitch Clark
The Cats face a tough decision on the key forward given injury has denied him an extended run to cement a senior position. However, Aaron Black's arrival via a trade with North Melbourne suggests he could be on the way out.

Angus Litherland
The 192cm defender fell out of favour this year after playing 2016's opening four rounds but, at 24, could be retained by the Hawks with Josh Gibson nearing the end of his career. Likely to get an opportunity at a rival club if the Hawks opt not to re-sign him.

Cam O'Shea
In a market where demand for key defenders is strong, the 24-year-old Victorian would likely attract interest if Port can't find room for him on its list next year.

Wouldn't mind one of Litherland, O'Shea, Brown & Henderson. Keep Blair. Was thinking Barlow but mids are one areas we actually have some depth.

If we can't convince Marsh to hang around I think Cam O'Shea is the best like for like replacement. Similar height and athleticism.

24yo, Victorian with 80 senior games who would be ready to step straight in. At his age he could be part of our next flag tilt. I don't rate X Richards or Litherland.

O'Shea key defender? lol. When were half back/back pocket players become key defenders?

O'Shea is 193cm so technically would/should be a key defender. I'd throw him a contract and also Henderson, that would make amends for losing what we did yesterday if not make us better down back with Dunn there now too.

he isn't one though, has never played key position with Port and in all honesty he wouldnt be able to.
He's horrible anyways, bit of a Port whipping boy over here.
 
Richards, Litherland, Buckely and Clark (late career cameo up forward, proven he can kick goals when on the park, mind you thats rare) id look at.
 
A few enticing names no doubt.

Henderson: should definitely be looked at. It will be more about $$ than ability.
Barlow: I really like Mick, I would like him, but he would perhaps reduce younger player opportunities
M. Brown: Cheaper version of his brother, ideal KP backup which we need.
Richards: I liked what he did for Sydney, definitely worth a crack given reduced KP options
Lonergan: quality defender, maybe not now we have Dunn but worth a look.

Dawesyyyyy!

Highlight of career...2010 GF replay...3rd Quarter...snaps goal...Dawsome!
Was one of the goals that help break open the game...
Will always be a Premiership player...well done Dawsey.
Good luck with next chapter...
 
Ricky Henderson I'd say a def yes too. Barlow, Richards, Clarke for ruck depth? Are possibles Clark would be better than White ,Cox etc but then there are his issues.

Wonder if we'll take a look at Mitch Clark? We wanted Clark when he chose Cats. Cheap and free.
Surely we need another ruck/forward backup besides Cox.

Nope. If we can't deal with Marsh, we can't deal with Clark. And coming year at Collingwood is not a place I would like to see him in for his own sake.
 
Out of that list, i'm pretty sure only Drew Petrie has been officially delisted so no fingers crossed on any of them. I'd love lonergan (197cm) as a tall defensive option for a year or two.

Michael Barlow is an exceptional footballer - it's amazing how much that omission mid-season by Ross Lyon has damaged his reputation. Would welcome him to the team every single day of the week and twice on sundays, especially after we missed out on Rockliff.

Josh Green is definitely worth a punt - we need a redhead to come to the club for cultural purposes, so all his teammates can bond together by taking the piss out of him.

Xavier Richards perhaps a rookie spot. I wouldn't have him on the senior list.
