It implies that slightly below 110 males that had been full-time footballers in 2022 received’t have the identical title in 2023, after they both introduced their retirement or had been delisted by their respective golf equipment.

So foxfooty.com.au has compiled its annual checklist of the place the recently-departed AFL gamers are set to play footy this 12 months, in addition to found a few of their work plans.

Some gamers might nonetheless discover themselves on an AFL checklist earlier than Spherical 1 through the pre-season supplemental choice interval (SSP), which closes on February 15.

Ex-Blue Liam Stocker and former Bomber Josh Eyre are each coaching at St Kilda, whereas delisted Cat Quinton Narkle is hopeful of incomes a spot on Richmond’s checklist.

Former Bomber and Large Devon Smith can be a taking part in co-coach at Lara, ex-Cats duo Luke Dahlhaus and Paul Tsapatolis have signed with WRFL membership Level Prepare dinner, ex-Crow Luke Brown has joined Tea Tree Gully within the Adelaide Footy League and former Saints captain Jarryn Geary has returned to junior membership Eaglehawk.

Devon Meadows coach Ryan Hendy advised Chief in October he was anticipating Ryder to play as many video games as attainable in 2023, including: “I don’t assume there’s an even bigger signing in native footy, nearly ever.”

EFNL membership Doncaster, although, may beg to vary after it secured the signature of one among Port Adelaide’s best ever gamers in Robbie Grey in late November. Grey will hyperlink up with league legend and shut mate Chris Annakis after the duo had mentioned the prospect of taking part in collectively for 20 years.

Grey has additionally linked up with the Energy’s AFL recruiting workforce.

However, as per regular, many gamers have been snapped up by state league golf equipment within the VFL, WAFL and SANFL.

Woodville-West Torrens has regained delisted Crows ahead James Rowe and ex-Cat Zane Williams, whereas it’s additionally secured the signature of lately delisted Tigers midfielder Riley Collier-Dawkins.

And like Grey on the Energy, triple premiership Tiger Shane Edwards has ventured into the recruiting area, becoming a member of the Adelaide Crows in a Recruiter/Indigenous Participant Growth Supervisor position.

“I used to be impressed with the presentation Frank (footy boss Ponissi) and Craig (coach Bellamy) made and have already been welcomed on the membership after I visited AAMI Park earlier this week. I can’t wait to satisfy the remainder of the taking part in group and moving into the season.”

Selwood isn’t the one ex-AFL participant venturing into league, with former Magpie and Kangaroo Atu Bosenavulagi to provide the code a crack — as a participant.

Foxfooty.com.au can reveal Bosenavulagi, who performed 20 AFL video games with Collingwood and North Melbourne throughout 4 seasons, has dropped footy and now pursuring a rugby league profession, with the hope of at some point becoming a member of an NRL membership.

A state decathlon champion, Murtagh is wanting to make use of his athletic profile to make his mark within the NFL as a good finish – a difficult place that requires each catching and blocking.

Many gamers, although, have dived straight into pursuits outdoors of footy.
