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.
5Jack Silvagni
The third defensive option for the Swans, and the second Carlton star, with Silvagni's name stunningly raised as a trade target for rivals in 2025.
The Blues swigman is enjoying his career-best season, despite being sidelined with injury, having thrived in a return to defence after a year on the sidelines with an ACL injury.
If Collingwood, of all clubs, are expressing an interest in Silvagni, then a side like the Swans should be throwing their name in the mix also.
The best thing about chasing Silvagni, on top of his talents as a versatile defender, is his free agency status, meaning Sydney could secure the 27-year-old for nothing.
