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.

Another key defender for the Swans to consider, however, Jones is as experienced as they come.
In 2025, the Bulldog-turned-Blue-turned-Bulldog has struggled to lock in his spot at AFL level, with both injury and the form of others keeping him out of Luke Beveridge's side.
With Jones seemingly not in the Dogs' best team, and still having some good footy in him, a fresh start could be ideal for the veteran defender.
He had no issue learning a new system at the Western Bulldogs after a year out of the system, and could benefit the Swans, even if it is for the short term.
