Leading up to Wednesday, June 2 all 18 AFL clubs will be frantically preparing for the opportunity to bring new talent onto their lists from the VFL, SANFL and WAFL.
Of course, there are several clubs that planned for this eventuality by leaving rookie spots open on their lists, while other clubs have had players go onto the long-term injury list having been determined to be unfit to return in 2021.
Retirements and disciplinary delistings have also opened space for clubs, with the reduced list sizes leaving several clubs with lengthening injury issues if patterns continue to deteriorate.
