With the AFL releasing its official list of upcoming free agents, I’ve given my thoughts on the who the best available free agents are, and whether they stay, or leave…
A-list Free Agents
Stephen Coniglio (GWS)- Restricted- STAY- with the tight squeeze on the GWS cap other clubs will be sniffing around at this quality on-baller, but with a list rapidly growing in quality expect Coniglio to be in it for the long haul. Rumours are St Kilda are looking to offer around $1.5 million, but will settle for around $1 million to stay with the Giants.
Sam Jacobs (Adelaide)- STAY- Quality ruckman who would be an ideal pick up for contending clubs, a great midfield already surround him, don’t expect Jacobs to be going anywhere in October.
Matthew Kreuzer (Carlton)- LEAVE- My only curveball, Kreuzer is a massive part of Carltons list and they will be desperate to keep him. Other clubs will be knocking on his door to recruit the former number 1 pick.
David Astbury (Richmond)- STAY- A premiership key defender who is sure to attract a lot of attention. The Tigers won’t want to lose Astbury and will re-sign him before the seasons end.
Nic Naitanui (West Coast)- STAY- Naitanui is the best available free agent and is an out and out big fish, West Coast will look to keep him an Eagle for life.
Jamie Elliot (Collingwood)- STAY- Coming of a major injury, when he is fit he can be a game-changer, he will attract plenty of attention but will ultimately stay put.
