It's officially the 2025 AFL off-season, with the trade period opening today and the free agency deadline scheduled for Friday!
All 18 clubs look set to be active in the player movement space, with some busier than others in looking to lure talent through their doors.
St Kilda and Gold Coast pose as the biggest players in player exchange, while a host of players have already joined new clubs through free agency.
Here we've looked at every club's potential trade and free agency moves, their current crop of off-contract players, confirmed departures and draft hand for the off-season.
18. Western Bulldogs
Reported Trade Targets: Connor Budarick, Callum Wilkie, Tylar Young
Off-Contract Players: Oskar Baker (unrestricted free agent), Nicholas Coffield, Jason Johannisen (unrestricted free agent), Caleb Poulter (unrestricted free agent)
Confirmed Departures: Taylor Duryea (retired), Liam Jones (delisted), Anthony Scott (delisted)
Draft Hand: 11, 32
The Bulldogs will land Connor Budarick from the Suns, but have missed out on Callum Wilkie and Tylar Young. Whether there's another key defensive option out there that will suit them remains uncertain, with Melbourne veteran Steven May believed to be of no interest to the Bulldogs.
