It's officially the AFL off-season, with free agency opening on Friday, and the 2026 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.
Hawthorn, Carlton and the Western Bulldogs pose as the busiest clubs in the off-season, while almost every team has been linked to a rival player.
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.
Carlton
Reported Trade Targets: Joel Amartey, Will McLachlan, Calsher Dear, Lachie Whitfield
Off-Contract Players: Hudson O'Keeffe, Flynn Riley
Confirmed Departures: Jordan Boyd (delisted), Ben Camporeale (delisted), Lucas Camporeale (delisted), Harry Charleson (delisted), Matt Duffy (delisted), Lachie Fogarty (delisted), Elijah Hollands (delisted), Zac Williams (delisted), Lewis Young (delisted), Flynn Young (delisted)

The Blues are looking for experienced players to boost their list, and they'll get Joel Amartey from the Swans via free agency.
Carlton's next priority will be ensuring father-son Cody Walker lands at Ikon Park on draft night, and if they have more capital, they'll use it to potentially acquire Calsher Dear, Lachie Whitfield and Will McLachlan.
