The past has seen the Sydney Swans lure big fish to the heart of New South Wales, with the club having a history of attracting some of the best forwards the competition has seen over the past three decades.
The club would be keen to continue that trend, eyeing off top-line talent that can take them a step further as they boast a star-studded engine room.
Depth at either end of the field for Dean Cox's squad will be in mind when contemplating what the Swans could acquire, with the AFL's trade landscape having several names that might suit Sydney's needs.
Here we've looked at five players the Swans could target to bolster their list for 2026 and beyond.

If there's any chance the Blues superstar could be looking to move, then the Swans must be looking to make a play for the two-time Coleman Medal winner.
A potential venture to the Harbour City for Curnow would see him follow a long line of star forwards being lured to the red and white, as Toby Lockett, Barry Hall and Lance Franklin have all done in the past.
The issue for the Swans will be what they can give up to appease the Blues, with Sydney still needing draft capital this year to attain their Academy prospects, two of which look like first-round selections.
Carlton could be after a mix of picks and players for Curnow, with future first-round selections and talent like an Ollie Florent, Logan McDonald, Will Hayward or Tom McCartin likely on the Blues' wish list.
