It's officially the AFL off-season, with free agency opening on Friday and the 2025 Trade Period will follow just days later.
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, Geelong and Brisbane look to be among the more aggressive clubs in chasing top-line talent, while clubs like Fremantle and Richmond are seemingly more likely to place more of a focus on the draft.
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.
11. Melbourne

The Demons are the big watch this off-season as new coach Steven King looks to build his list. Gold Coast utility Sam Flanders has been closely linked to the club, while cheap key position options Wade Derksen and Max Heath have too. Magpies veteran Brody Mihocek is also reportedly in Melbourne's sights, and could cost the Demons nothing given his unrestricted free agency status. Unfortunately for the Demons, they look set to lose Judd McVee to Fremantle, but they will be asking for a decent return. Superstar Christian Petracca remains a big watch, and could unlock a frantic trade period for Melbourne.
