The Australian Football League (AFL) today distributed an updated list of restricted and unrestricted free agent players to the 18 clubs across the competition.

Under the rules that were agreed between the AFL and AFL Players Association (AFLPA) in February 2010, restricted and unrestricted free agents may consider offers from rival clubs during the post-season period, following the 2017 Toyota AFL Premiership Season. An offer to a player only includes capped salary and capped ASA (Additional Service Agreements) amounts.

Under the AFL Player Rules, an unrestricted free agent may automatically move to the club of his choice. An offer to a restricted free agent may be matched by his club, which has right of first refusal over his services. If the restricted free agent player does not wish to remain with his original club, he must enter the 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.

Restricted:
Tom Rockliff (Brisbane Lions), David Zaharakis (Essendon), Hayden Ballantyne (Fremantle), Steven Motlop (Geelong Cats), Josh Gibson (Hawthorn); Scott Thompson (North Melbourne); Jackson Trengove (Port Adelaide); Dustin Martin (Richmond); Sam Reid (Sydney Swans); Eric Mackenzie (West Coast).
