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 are outside the top 25 per cent of the club's earners or have spent 10+ years
  • Players who have been delisted at any stage of their career and are at the end of their contract automatically qualify as free agents
