Fremantle's Tom Sheridan and Collingwood premiership player Jarryd Blair are among a raft of players still in limbo at the conclusion of the AFL trade period.

The experienced pair, who failed to land at a new club, must now hope they can find their way onto an AFL list as either a delisted free agent or via the national or rookie drafts, unless their clubs choose to retain them.

Their position is relatively common for players on the fringe of senior football as teams work through their list and decide whether to retain or delist players whose careers have either stalled or failed to gain traction.

Sheridan, who played 81 games with the club and is a gifted runner, was pick 16 in the 2011 national draft but has fallen out of favour at the Dockers despite playing eight of their final nine games in 2018.
