Following on from yesterday’s look at a couple of delisted AFL players, here are the next batch of currently club-less professionals looking for a new start.

Majak Daw
This could be another good pick-up for a team that is in need of a tall forward target.

Like Sam Grimley, Daw could be a forward that would fit in to Carlton or Melbourne to help fill their needs, until their younger players develop.

But there is the court case against him that is set to be held at in November. This could stop teams from taking him and see him heading back to North as a rookie, as they have stated they are looking at doing.

Jarrad Grant
Grant’s delisting adds yet another forward to the mix. He still has about four years in him as a forward, and so could be a great pick-up.

The story going around is that the Suns are looking at him as a replacement for Charlie Dixon. This would give them a player with experience and a tall target up front.

Grant’s only weakness lately is accuracy in front of goal, at just 37.9 per cent. There is necessary work to turn him into a useful option i up front. But a change of club could well be the boost his resurgence and get him back to his 2010 best that saw him at 59.2 per cent accuracy.

Nathan Gordon
Gordon is a midfielder that just seemed to never be able to break into the top 22 of the Swans or Tigers.

He may not be the best midfielder going around, but Gordon would fit in to a team that is needing a player that is fit and experienced to help out when teams are hit with injuries.

Unfortunately I think Gordon most likely will not get the second chance at a third club, but stranger things has happened.

Scott McMahon
McMahon has been on the outer throughout 2015 and has never been a player to excite. After being delisted he is weighing up his options for next season.

If he does play on it would be with one of the two South Australian teams, as he has moved back to the state after North delisted him.

Sam Dwyer
Starting off his career with 21 games and an average of 16.6 disposals per game. Dwyer showed that he had great potential.

But in his last year he only got on the field five times and did not set the world on fire. With an average of 10.2 per disposal he has not shown that he is good enough to hold a spot in any team’s best 22.

But like Gordon he could fit in as a replacement or a reserve for a team in case of injuries. The only thing going against him is age.
