THE AFL has distributed the 2025 list of Restricted and Unrestricted Free Agents to the 18 clubs across the competition.
Restricted and Unrestricted Free Agents can consider offers from other clubs during the post-season free agency period.
An Unrestricted Free Agent is a player who has served eight or more years at one club and is out of contract. An Unrestricted Free Agent is permitted to automatically move to a club of their choice.
A Restricted Free Agent is a player who has served eight or more years with one club, is out of contract, and is in the top 25 per cent of wage earners at their club. An offer to a Restricted Free Agent may be matched by their club.
Should their original club match the offer and the Restricted Free Agent Player doesn't wish to remain with their original club, they must enter the National Draft or seek a trade.
Compensation in the form of AFL-allocated draft picks will apply to clubs with a net loss of Free Agents, based on the formula determined by the AFL.
Draft picks will be allocated to one of five places: first round, end of first round, second round, end of second round and third round.
Below is the 2025 Free Agency List which includes Restricted, Unrestricted and Previously Delisted Free Agents (currently on club lists) across the competition.
