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.
Collingwood
Reported Trade Targets: Lachie Neale, Jesse Hogan, Calsher Dear, Jayden Short, Flynn Riley
Off-Contract Players: Harrison Coe, Jai Saxena, Noah Howes
Confirmed Departures: Joel Cochran (delisted), Bobby Hill (delisted), Wil Parker (delisted), Mitch Podhajski (delisted), Jakob Ryan (delisted), Steele Sidebottom (retired), Iliro Smit (delisted), Lachie Sullivan (delisted), Scott Pendlebury (Gold Coast)
Draft Hand: 9, 27, 61, 63, 70
Collingwood has been linked to a few players, but it is expected they will hold a presence on the first night of the draft barring anything extraordinary.
Lachie Neale will be a shrewd acquisition while the Magpies will hope to get a couple of good years out of Jesse Hogan.
Jayden Short is also in their sights to add bounce off half-back, but don't expect them to move heaven and earth to get the contracted Tiger.
