The AFL today updated the 2018 list of restricted and unrestricted free agents players to the 18 clubs across the competition.
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.
Forward Daniel Menzel and midfielder George Horlin-Smith are unrestricted free agents this year.
