AFL Delistings 2023: Who was dropped from your club this offseason? image

Another AFL season is coming to a close, as are many players' contracts.

With a limited amount of list spots at every club, coaches and managers have to make tough decisions on a number of out-of-contract players each year. 

The Sporting News has every delisted player in 2023, and when clubs can sign them.

When can AFL clubs sign delisted players?

To re-join an AFL list, delisted players have three options:

1. Delisted Free Agency Period - A time when a delisted free agent can be picked up by a new team. In 2023 there are three periods that run between:

  • Wednesday, November 1 (9am) - Wednesday, November 8 (5pm) | AFL Delisted Player Free Agency (1) Period
     
  • Friday, November 10, 9am to 5pm | AFL Delisted Player Free Agency (2) Period
     
  • Tuesday, November 21 (time TBC) | AFL Delisted Player Free Agency (3) Period

2. Supplemental selection period - If a place on an AFL list becomes available during the off-season or pre-season due to another player's injury or retirement

3. Mid-season Draft - A draft in the middle of the AFL season that allows clubs to replenish lists
