FREE agency's 'fab four' remain up for grabs but this year's list has thinned markedly over the past month.
Gold Coast's Tom Lynch, Rory Sloane, Andrew Gaff and Jeremy McGovern have headlined the 2018 free agency crop since the AFL released its official list in late March, and all remain unsigned.
However, some of this year's next most enticing targets have re-signed with their existing clubs over the past month, chief among them Tom McDonald, Marc Murphy, Cam Guthrie and Tom Bellchambers.
Nonetheless, Neville Jetta, Shaun Atley and Bulldogs quartet Luke Dahlhaus, Tom Liberatore, Jordan Roughead and Mitch Wallis remain up for grabs and should attract rival offers if they are still unsigned when the free agency period opens in October.
Of the 51 free agents that appeared on the League's list, 45 remain, but 22 of them are 30 or older or will turn 30 this month.
