AFL.COM.AU has compiled a preliminary list of next year's free agents, with 68 players currently eligible.

Some stars who could have explored free agency at the end of 2015 have already re-signed with their clubs: Taylor Walker (Adelaide), Robbie Gray, Matthew Lobbe (Port Adelaide), Trent Cotchin (Richmond), Matt Priddis (West Coast), Nathan Jones (Melbourne) and Andrew Swallow (North Melbourne).

The AFL could reveal more names – and will highlight the breakdown of restricted and unrestricted free agents – when it releases its official list ahead of the 2015 season.
