Free agency is just days away, while the trade period will kick off next Monday for what has been touted as one of the most chaotic exchange windows the AFL has seen.
Over 50 players have been tied to moves across the course of this year, with some of the league's biggest names floated as potential departures through either free agency or trade levers.
A number of high-profile names have already lodged their requests to find a new club in 2022, with Bulldogs star Josh Dunkley, premiership Eagle Junior Rioli and Brisbane free agent Daniel McStay among those already heading for the exit.
On top of what has been confirmed, the rumour mill continues to spin at a rapid pace this year, with each and every club likely to play a role in the upcoming trade period, whether that be big or small.
With the off-season now upon us, here's your one-stop trade guide for the 2022 trade and free agency window, as well as list profile and draft pick breakdowns.
Adelaide
| 2023 LOSSES Luke Brownย (retired) |
| RE-SIGNED Lachlan Gollantย (2024),ย Elliott Himmelbergย (2024),ย Mitchell Hingeย (2024),ย Patrick Parnellย (2024),ย Josh Racheleย (2025),ย Jake Soligoย (2025),ย Taylor Walkerย (2023) |
| OFF CONTRACT 2022 James Borlase,ย Ben Davisย (unrestricted free agent),ย Billy Frampton,ย Luke Nankervis,ย Tariek Newchurch,ย James Rowe,ย Brett Turner |
Draft hand: 5, 23, 77
Potential gains: Will land Izak Rankine in what will be a stellar coup for the Crows. The Suns are set to demand more than just a first-round pick from Adelaide, with Pick 5 likely on the table. Jack Graham and Caleb Poulter have also been tied to West Lakes, with the latter's contract coming to an end this off-season.
Potential losses:ย Will lose Billy Frampton to Collingwood in what has been move seen coming for some time. James Rowe is also yet to have his future confirmed beyond this year, and has been linked to the Bulldogs. Both Matt Crouch and Fischer McAsey are contracted, but that hasn't stopped speculation around their futures. McAsey tied with a potential move to Carlton, now suitors for Crouch yet.
Brisbane
| 2023 LOSSES None |
| RE-SIGNED Noah Answerthย (2024),ย Nakia Cockatooย (2023),ย Keidean Colemanย (2024),ย Joe Daniherย (2025),ย Kalin Laneย (2024),ย James Maddenย (2023),ย Lachie Nealeย (2026),ย Daniel Richย (2023),ย Henry Smithย (2024),ย James Tunstillย (2025),ย Darcy Wilmotย (2025) |
| OFF CONTRACT 2022 Callum Ah Chee,ย Thomas Berry,ย Blake Coleman,ย Mitch Cox,ย Tom Fullarton,ย Darcy Gardinerย (restricted free agent),ย Ryan Lesterย (unrestricted free agent),ย Connor McFadyen,ย Daniel McStayย (unrestricted free agent),ย Carter Michael,ย Jaxon Prior,ย Deven Robertson,ย Mitch Robinsonย (unrestricted free agent),ย Ely Smith,ย Deividas Uosis,ย Dayne Zorkoย (unrestricted free agent) |
Draft hand:ย 15, 33, 44, 69, 87
Potential gains:ย Josh Dunkley's request to join the Lions will buoy Brisbane's hopes of a premiership for the years to come. Hawks veteran Jack Gunston is yet to make a call on his future, with the Lions seen to be hopeful of landing the champion forward.
Potential losses: Will lose Dan McStay in a move to Collingwood, however, will gain some nice compensation in return. Darcy Gardiner is another free agent but is restricted, while no suitor has been named for the Lions defender. Deven Robertson and Tom Berry have previously been noted to have gained interest from rival clubs.
Carlton
| 2023 LOSSES Will Hayesย (delisted),ย Oscar McDonaldย (delisted),ย Jack Newnesย (delisted),ย Luke Parksย (delisted),ย Liam Stockerย (delisted),ย Tom Williamsonย (released) |
| RE-SIGNED Jordan Boydย (2024),ย Jack Carrollย (2024),ย Matthew Cottrellย (2024),ย David Cuninghamย (2023),ย Charlie Curnowย (2029),ย Corey Durdinย (2024),ย Sam Durdinย (2023),ย Zac Fisherย (2025),ย Josh Honeyย (2023),ย Matthew Kennedyย (2025),ย Caleb Marchbankย (2023),ย Alex Mirkovย (2024),ย Lochie O'Brienย (2024),ย Matthew Owiesย (2024),ย Sam Walsh (2026), Domanic Akuei (2023) |
| OFF CONTRACT 2022 Ed Curnowย (unrestricted free agent),ย Will Setterfield |
Draft hand:ย 10, 28, 62, 64, 82
Potential gains:ย Blake Acres is set to join the Blues in what will be a welcomed addition to their wing stocks. Fischer McAsey has also been tied to Carlton, however, talks on the young Crow returning to Victoria have gone cold in recent weeks.
Potential losses:ย Will Setterfield joins Ed Curnow as the only Blues still left without a contract for 2023, however, Curnow is said to have recommitted to the club. It leaves Setterfield in limbo across the off-season, with the former Giant a chance to join his third club or get delisted should he not be offered a new deal.
Collingwood
| 2023 LOSSES Callum L. Brownย (delisted),ย Tyler Brownย (delisted),ย Isaac Chuggย (delisted),ย Liam McMahonย (delisted),ย Jordan Rougheadย (retired) |
| RE-SIGNED Aiden Beggย (2023),ย Darcy Cameronย (2025),ย Josh Daicosย (2024),ย Charlie Deanย (2024),ย Jamie Elliottย (2025),ย Jack Ginnivanย (2024),ย Ashley Johnsonย (2023),ย Finlay Macraeย (2024),ย Brayden Maynardย (2025),ย Beau McCreeryย (2024),ย Reef McInnesย (2024),ย Darcy Mooreย (2028),ย Nathan Murphyย (2024),ย Isaac Quaynorย (2025) |
| OFF CONTRACT 2022 Trent Bianco,ย Jordan De Goeyย (restricted free agent),ย Oliver Henry,ย Will Hoskin-Elliott,ย Will Kelly,ย Jack Madgen,ย Caleb Poulter,ย Tom Wilson |
Draft hand:ย 16, 42, 47, 48, 88
Potential gains: A busy trade and free agency period awaits the Pies, with Daniel McStay, Billy Frampton, Bobby Hill and Brayden Fiorini all seen as likely to land at Olympic Park. Hawks star Tom Mitchell and Power ruckman Sam Hayes have also been tied to Collingwood, however, those moves are seen to be secondary.
Potential losses: Brodie Grundy looks destined to join Melbourne in what has emerged as a shock move in 2022. Free agent Jordan De Goey is yet to confirm his future, with St Kilda believed to be right in the mix for the Pies star. Ollie Henry (Geelong) and Caleb Poulter (Adelaide) are both unsigned for 2023 and have gained interest from rival clubs.
Essendon
| 2023 LOSSES Tom Cutlerย (delisted),ย Tom Hirdย (delisted),ย Michael Hurleyย (retired),ย Garrett McDonaghย (delisted),ย Anthony McDonald-Tipungwutiย (retired),ย Devon Smithย (retired) |
| RE-SIGNED Kaine Baldwinย (2023),ย Nikolas Coxย (2024),ย Sam Durhamย (2024),ย Matt Guelfiย (2024),ย Dyson Heppellย (2023),ย Nick Hindย (2024),ย Kyle Langfordย (2026),ย Jayden Laverdeย (2025),ย Nic Martinย (2024),ย Andrew McGrathย (2024),ย Archie Perkinsย (2024),ย Andrew Phillipsย (2023),ย Zach Reidย (2025),ย James Stewartย (2024),ย Patrick Vossย (2023),ย Tex Wanganeenย (2024) |
| OFF CONTRACT 2022 Cody Brand,ย Joshua Eyre,ย Aaron Francis,ย Brayden Ham,ย Cian McBride,ย Jye Menzie,ย Alec Watermanย (unrestricted free agent) |
Draft hand:ย 4, 22, 40, 58, 76
Potential gains: Aren't looking to return to their common spot as a key player this off-season, but have been linked to an array of options. Wantaway Sun Jack Bowes looks to be a great fit for the Bombers, while Giants forward Toby Bedford and young Saint Jack Bytel are also believed to be on the Bombers' radar. Essendon has also been linked to Jordan De Goeyย but looks to be an unlikely landing spot for the Collingwood free agent.
Potential losses:ย Aaron Francis and Brayden Ham have both been touted as potential departures at the Bombers. Francis is understood to have toured Port Adelaide's Alberton facilities, however, is no certainty to land with the Power this off-season. Ham has gained reported interest from rival clubs, but no suitor has been named.
Fremantle
| 2023 LOSSES Connor Blakelyย (delisted),ย David Mundyย (retired),ย Joel Westernย (delisted) |
| RE-SIGNED James Aishย (2025),ย Jye Amissย (2025),ย Heath Chapmanย (2027),ย Travis Colyerย (2023),ย Brennan Coxย (2024),ย Neil Erasmusย (2025),ย Michael Frederickย (2026),ย Matthew Johnsonย (2025),ย Nathan O'Driscollย (2024),ย Alex Pearceย (2025),ย Sam Sturtย (2023),ย Sam Switkowskiย (2024),ย Brandon Walkerย (2024),ย Michael Waltersย (2023),ย Nathan Wilsonย (2023),ย Karl Wornerย (2023),ย Hayden Youngย (2027) |
| OFF CONTRACT 2022 Blake Acres,ย Bailey Banfieldย (unrestricted free agent),ย Mitch Crowdenย (unrestricted free agent),ย Sebit Kuek,ย Griffin Logue |
Draft hand:ย 13, 72, 85
Potential gains:ย Perhaps the club with the most on their plate this off-season. The Dockers will continue to talk with Melbourne over a trade for Luke Jackson. Fremantle will likely need to give up a pair of early draft picks to land the premiership Demon. The Dockers may also look to take advantage of Gold Coast's looming salary dump, with Josh Corbett and Jeremy Sharp both tied to Cockburn.
Potential losses: Here's where things get really busy for the Dockers. Griffin Logue (North Melbourne), Darcy Tucker (North Melbourne), Blake Acres (Carlton) and Rory Lobb (Western Bulldogs) have all requested moves elsewhere this off-season, each having a likely landing spot. Lobb's request has been denied by the Dockers, however, a move to the Kennel could still come to fruition if Jackson joins. Lloyd Meek and Liam Henry have also been tied to the exit, with the former on the radar of several clubs, including Hawthorn and GWS.
Geelong
| 2023 LOSSES Shaun Higginsย (retired) |
| RE-SIGNED Toby Conwayย (2025),ย Oliver Dempseyย (2023),ย Max Holmesย (2024),ย Shannon Nealeย (2023),ย Mark O'Connorย (2024),ย Brandan Parfittย (2024) |
| OFF CONTRACT 2022 Luke Dahlhausย (unrestricted free agent),ย Francis Evans,ย Zach Guthrie,ย Tom Hawkins,ย Quinton Narkle,ย Gary Rohan,ย Joel Selwoodย (unrestricted free agent),ย Sam Simpson,ย Isaac Smithย (unrestricted free agent),ย Nick Stevens,ย Paul Tsapatolis,ย Zach Tuohy,ย Zane Williams |
Draft hand:ย 18, 36, 46, 51, 54, 60, 90
Potential gains: Have their sights on young Magpie Ollie Henry and departing Giant Tanner Bruhn - two local products that will add youth to the premiers' list. Both cost the Cats multiple early picks.
Potential losses: Francis Evans has been linked with a move to Port Adelaide, but it remains to be seen how strong the Power's interest in the fringe Cat is. Esava Ratugolea has been floated as an option for rival clubs, but no suitor has emerged for the versatile Cats tall.
Gold Coast
| 2023 LOSSES Matt Conroyย (delisted),ย Jez McLennanย (delisted),ย Patrick Murtaghย (delisted),ย Rhys Nichollsย (delisted) |
| RE-SIGNED Ben Ainsworthย (2024),ย Mac Andrewย (2025),ย Connor Budarickย (2025),ย Caleb Grahamย (2026),ย Elijah Hollandsย (2024),ย Ben Kingย (2024),ย Jack Lukosiusย (2026),ย Touk Millerย (2027),ย Ned Moyleย (2024),ย Lachie Wellerย (2026) |
| OFF CONTRACT 2022 Chris Burgess,ย Levi Casboultย (unrestricted free agent),ย Charlie Constableย (unrestricted free agent),ย Josh Corbett,ย Oskar Faulkead,ย Darcy MacPherson,ย Oleg Markov,ย Hewego Paul Oea,ย Izak Rankine |
Draft hand:ย 7, 25, 31, 34, 43, 52, 67, 70, 79
Potential gains: Saint Ben Long has announced his intentions to join the Suns this off-season in what might be the only addition for the Carrara club. Bulldogs free agent Jason Johannisen was also linked with a move to the Gold Coast, however Long's desire to also head north could see the Norm Smith medallist remain at the Kennel.
Potential losses:ย Another wave of talent looks set to depart the Suns this year, with none bigger than gun forward Izak Rankine, who has requested a move to Adelaide. Jack Bowes is flagged to be seeking a new home, with several clubs in the mix for the midfield-defender. Jeremy Sharp and Josh Corbett could make the switch to Western Australia and join the Dockers, while Chris Burgess is also gaining external interest. Fringe midfielder Brayden Fiorini has been strongly linked with a move to Collingwood.
GWS
| 2023 LOSSES Jarrod Branderย (delisted),ย Matt de Boerย (retired),ย Zach Sprouleย (delisted),ย Jake Steinย (delisted) |
| RE-SIGNED Ryan Angwinย (2024),ย Kieren Briggsย (2024),ย Callum M Brownย (2023),ย Isaac Cummingย (2024),ย Phil Davisย (2023),ย Josh Faheyย (2024),ย Cameron Fleetonย (2023),ย Cooper Hamiltonย (2023),ย Jesse Hoganย (2024),ย Connor Idunย (2026),ย Lachlan Keeffeย (2023),ย Adam Kennedyย (2024),ย Daniel Lloydย (2023),ย James Peatlingย (2024),ย Jacob Wehrย (2023) |
| OFF CONTRACT 2022 Tanner Bruhn,ย Bobby Hill,ย Xavier O'Halloran,ย Will Shaw,ย Tim Taranto |
Draft hand:ย 3, 21, 39, 57, 59, 75
Potential gains: Facing the reality of losing more star names, with none coming the other way. Fremantle ruckman Lloyd Meek has been linked with the Giants, while young Demon Toby Bedford is also understood to be on their radar. Bedford also has interest from the Bombers and Roos. Could land a Tiger or two in their negotiations for two departing stars.
Potential losses: Will lose duo Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper to Richmond in what is another double blow for GWS. Tanner Bruhn looks set to request a move to Geelong, while Bobby Hill will also depart in a switch to Collingwood.
Hawthorn
| 2023 LOSSES Jackson Callowย (delisted),ย Connor Downieย (delisted),ย Daniel Howeย (delisted),ย Ben McEvoyย (retired),ย Tom Phillipsย (delisted),ย Liam Shielsย (retired) |
| RE-SIGNED Luke Breustย (2024),ย Sam Frostย (2024),ย Denver Grainger-Barrasย (2024),ย Changkuoth Jiathย (2024),ย Mitchell Lewisย (2026),ย Ned Longย (2023),ย Harry Morrisonย (2024),ย Conor Nashย (2024),ย Jack Scrimshawย (2024),ย James Sicilyย (2027) |
| OFF CONTRACT 2022 Tyler Brockman,ย Jack Gunstonย (unrestricted free agent),ย Kyle Hartiganย (unrestricted free agent),ย Emerson Jeka,ย Seamus Mitchell,ย Josh Morris,ย Jack Saunders |
Draft hand: 6, 24, 49, 61, 78
Potential gains:ย Karl Amon will exercise his rights as a free agent and trade Port Adelaide for Hawthorn at no expense for the Hawks. Dockers tall Lloyd Meek has been linked to a Waverley move as he looks for greater opportunities at AFL level.
Potential losses: Brownlow Medal winner Tom Mitchell has also been thrown up as a trade option for rival clubs, with Collingwood seen as the leading suitor, however that move remains somewhat unlikely given the Magpies' other off-season priorities. Veteran Jack Gunston is yet to make a call on his future, with Brisbane understood to be circling.
Melbourne
| 2023 LOSSES Mitch Brownย (retired),ย Majak Dawย (retired),ย Fraser Rosmanย (delisted) |
| RE-SIGNED Jake Boweyย (2024),ย Angus Brayshawย (2028),ย Bayley Fritschย (2026),ย Bailey Laurieย (2024),ย Judd McVeeย (2023),ย Andy Moniz-Wakefieldย (2023),ย Clayton Oliverย (2030),ย Deakyn Smithย (2023),ย Joel Smithย (2024),ย Charlie Spargoย (2025),ย Tom Sparrowย (2024),ย Daniel Turnerย (2024) |
| OFF CONTRACT 2022 Oskar Baker,ย Toby Bedford,ย Michael Hibberd,ย Jayden Huntย (unrestricted free agent),ย Luke Jackson,ย Jake Melksham |
Draft hand:ย 32, 41, 50, 63, 68, 86
Potential gains:ย Brodie Grundy looks almost certain to join Melbourne from Collingwood to form a lethal ruck duo with premiership skipper Max Gawn. Grundy aside, the Demons look quiet on the trade landscape. Grundy is likely to cost a first-round pick, which Melbourne will receive from Fremantle in negotiations for Luke Jackson.
Potential losses: Jackson has requested a move back home, with Fremantle in the driving seat to land the young Demons tall. Melbourne will gain a wealthy trade package in return for the wantaway ruck-forward. Small forward Toby Bedford has gained interest from a trio of clubs, while Jayden Hunt is reportedly facing an uncertain future. Defender Adam Tomlinson is believed to have undergone a medical with the Western Bulldogs.
North Melbourne
| 2023 LOSSES Kyron Haydenย (delisted),ย Tom Lynchย (retired),ย Matthew McGuinnessย (delisted),ย Patrick Walkerย (delisted) |
| RE-SIGNED Ben Cunningtonย (2024),ย Paul Curtisย (2025),ย Todd Goldsteinย (2023),ย Aaron Hallย (2023),ย Flynn Perezย (2023),ย Bailey Scottย (2024),ย Curtis Taylorย (2024),ย Tarryn Thomasย (2024),ย Tristan Xerriย (2025),ย Lachie Youngย (2023),ย Cameron Zurhaarย (2024) |
| OFF CONTRACT 2022 Jed Anderson,ย Atu Bosenavulagi,ย Kayne Turnerย (unrestricted free agent),ย Josh Walkerย (unrestricted free agent) |
Draft hand:ย 1, 55, 66, 73
Potential gains:ย Plenty of names have been tied to Arden Street, with the Roos' acquisition of Alastair Clarkson sure to gain some sway. His former student in Brad Hill has been linked to North Melbourne despite being contracted for the next two years. Griffin Logue and Darcy Tucker are expected to make the move from Fremantle, while young Saint Hunter Clark and Demons forward Toby Bedford have been linked with the Roos.
Potential losses: Aren't too many names tied to the exit at North Melbourne after the club was able to stave off rival interest and re-sign Cameron Zurhaar, Todd Goldstein and Bailey Scott. Midfielder Jed Anderson appears a certainty to depart given his lack of a contract.
Port Adelaide
| 2023 LOSSES Robbie Grayย (retired),ย Sam Mayesย (delisted),ย Steven Motlopย (retired),ย Taj Schofieldย (delisted),ย Sam Skinnerย (delisted) |
| RE-SIGNED Travis Boakย (2023),ย Ryan Burtonย (2025),ย Zak Buttersย (2024),ย Darcy Byrne-Jonesย (2026),ย Willem Drewย (2024),ย Xavier Duursmaย (2024),ย Dan Houstonย (2027),ย Lachlan Jonesย (2024),ย Ollie Lordย (2024),ย Todd Marshallย (2024),ย Trent McKenzieย (2023),ย Jackson Meadย (2024),ย Jack Pasiniย (2024),ย Connor Rozeeย (2024),ย Josh Sinnย (2025),ย Brynn Teakleย (2023),ย Dante Visentiniย (2025) |
| OFF CONTRACT 2022 Karl Amonย (unrestricted free agent),ย Trent Dumontย (unrestricted free agent),ย Martin Frederick,ย Jed McEntee |
Draft hand:ย 8, 53, 56, 80
Potential gains: Will acquire premiership Eagle Junior Rioli in a move that will bolster their forward line. Cats small forward Francis Evans has also been linked to the Alberton club. Tiger Jack Graham is seen as gettable and of interest to the Power, while off-contract Bomber Aaron Francis is understood to have toured Port's training facilities.
Potential losses: Will lose Karl Amon through free agency, with the winger to join Hawthorn. Port will gain a compensation selection that could land at the back of the first-round. Defender Martin Frederick remains without a deal and on the radar of multiple clubs, while Sam Hayes is expected to find a new home and has been linked to Collingwood.
Richmond
| 2023 LOSSES Josh Caddyย (retired),ย Shane Edwardsย (retired),ย Kane Lambertย (retired),ย Matthew Parkerย (released) |
| RE-SIGNED Liam Bakerย (2024),ย Nathan Broadย (2023),ย Trent Cotchinย (2023),ย Noah Cumberlandย (2024),ย Josh Gibcusย (2025),ย Ben Millerย (2024),ย Marlion Pickettย (2023),ย Jack Riewoldtย (2023),ย Daniel Rioliย (2027),ย Maurice Rioliย (2024),ย Jack Rossย (2024),ย Samson Ryanย (2024),ย Jayden Shortย (2027),ย Tyler Sonsieย (2025) |
| OFF CONTRACT 2022 Jake Aarts,ย Mate Colina,ย Riley Collier-Dawkins,ย Will Martyn,ย Bigoa Nyuonย (unrestricted free agent),ย Sydney Stack |
Draft hand:ย 12, 19, 30, 84
Potential gains:ย Will be an enjoyable off-season at Punt Road, with GWS star duo Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper set to become Tigers and heavily bolster Richmond's engine room. No other names have been tied to the Tigers, who will be giving up a war chest of draft picks to land the wantaway Giants pair.
Potential losses:ย Jack Graham has been raised as an option for rivals to target given the impending arrivals of Taranto and Hopper. Ruckman Ivan Soldo and young midfielder Riley Collier-Dawkins have been named as potential assets to add to trade talks to please the Giants.
St Kilda
| 2023 LOSSES Jarryn Gearyย (retired),ย Dan Hanneberyย (retired),ย Darragh Joyceย (delisted),ย Dean Kentย (retired),ย Josiah Kyleย (delisted),ย Paddy Ryderย (retired) |
| RE-SIGNED Matthew Allisonย (2024),ย Josh Battleย (2024),ย Dan Butlerย (2024),ย Jack Hayesย (2024),ย Max Heathย (2024),ย Rowan Marshallย (2027),ย Daniel McKenzieย (2023),ย Mitchito Owensย (2025),ย Ben Patonย (2024),ย Cooper Sharmanย (2024),ย Jack Steeleย (2027),ย Jimmy Websterย (2023),ย Callum Wilkieย (2024),ย Marcus Windhagerย (2025) |
| OFF CONTRACT 2022 Ryan Byrnes,ย Jack Bytel,ย Tom Campbellย (unrestricted free agent),ย Thomas Highmore,ย Jarrod Lienertย (unrestricted free agent),ย Ben Long,ย Jack Peris,ย Mason Woodย (unrestricted free agent) |
Draft hand:ย 9, 27, 45, 81
Potential gains:ย Are among the clubs interested in Sun Jack Bowes, who could be packaged with Pick 7 in what is a mouth-watering offer for any keen suitor. Jordan De Goey is yet to decide his future and looks to be picking between re-signing at the Pies and joining the Saints through free agency.
Potential losses:ย Ben Long has lodged a request to join Gold Coast and will depart the Saints this off-season. Jack Bytel is unsigned for next season and has garnered interest from Essendon, while contracted pair Hunter Clark and Brad Hill have been tied to North Melbourne.
Sydney
| 2023 LOSSES Josh P. Kennedyย (retired),ย Colin O\'Riordanย (retired),ย Callum Sinclairย (retired) |
| RE-SIGNED Oliver Florentย (2024),ย Robbie Foxย (2024),ย Lance Franklinย (2023),ย Errol Guldenย (2024),ย Isaac Heeneyย (2028),ย Paddy McCartinย (2024),ย Tom McCartinย (2027),ย Logan McDonaldย (2024),ย Justin McInerneyย (2026),ย Callum Millsย (2029),ย Dane Rampeย (2023),ย Matthew Robertsย (2025),ย Chad Warnerย (2025),ย Corey Warnerย (2025) |
| OFF CONTRACT 2022 James Bell,ย Ryan Clarke,ย Harry Cunninghamย (unrestricted free agent),ย Will Gould,ย Jake Lloydย (unrestricted free agent),ย Sam Naismithย (unrestricted free agent),ย Barry O'Connor,ย Sam Reidย (unrestricted free agent),ย Ben Ronke,ย Lewis Taylorย (unrestricted free agent) |
Draft hand:ย 14, 17, 35, 71, 89
Potential gains:ย The Swans haven't been tied to many names, if any, this year. They're the only club that currently holds multiple first-round picks and look likely to attack the draft as they look to go a step further in 2023.
Potential losses:ย Defender Lewis Melican is seen likely to find a new home this off-season after falling back in the club's pecking order after the recruitment and emergence of Paddy McCartin this year. Jake Lloyd, Harry Cunningham, Ryan Clarke and Sam Reid are all currently unsigned for next season, however, are seen likely to recommit.
West Coast
| 2023 LOSSES Hugh Dixonย (delisted),ย Tom Joyceย (delisted),ย Josh J. Kennedyย (retired),ย Jackson Nelsonย (delisted),ย Luke Strnadicaย (released) |
| RE-SIGNED Thomas Barrassย (2026),ย Rhett Bazzoย (2025),ย Campbell Chesserย (2025),ย Thomas Coleย (2025),ย Harry Edwardsย (2024),ย Callum Jamiesonย (2023),ย Jamaine Jonesย (2023),ย Nic Naitanuiย (2024),ย Luke Shueyย (2023),ย Bailey J. Williamsย (2024),ย Elliot Yeoย (2024) |
| OFF CONTRACT 2022 Shannon Hurnย (unrestricted free agent),ย Declan Mountford,ย Patrick Naishย (unrestricted free agent),ย Jack Redden,ย Junior Rioli,ย Zane Trew,ย Connor West |
Draft hand:ย 2, 20, 26, 38, 74
Potential gains:ย Are still in the race for Luke Jackson, but the young Demon is seen set on landing at Fremantle in a return to WA. The Eagles are understood to be circling Lion Deven Robertson, Demon Jayden Hunt and Port Adelaide defender Martin Frederick as they look to bolster their lacking list.
Potential losses: Forward Junior Rioli has confirmed his request to leave the club in favour of a move to Port Adelaide. The Eagles are set to demand a pick within the top 30 selections after showing their faith in Rioli across his lengthy doping ban.
Western Bulldogs
| 2023 LOSSES None |
| RE-SIGNED Dominic Bedendoย (2023),ย Bailey Daleย (2027),ย Caleb Danielย (2026),ย Tim Englishย (2024),ย Riley Garciaย (2024),ย Mitch Hannanย (2023),ย Buku Khamisย (2023),ย Jack Macraeย (2027),ย Robbie McCombย (2023),ย Toby McLeanย (2023),ย Cody Raakย (2023),ย Bailey Smithย (2024),ย Rhylee Westย (2024) |
| OFF CONTRACT 2022 Louis Butler,ย Zaine Cordyย (unrestricted free agent),ย Josh Dunkley,ย Taylor Duryeaย (unrestricted free agent),ย Jason Johannisenย (unrestricted free agent),ย Stefan Martinย (unrestricted free agent),ย Charlie Parker,ย Josh Schache,ย Mitch Wallisย (unrestricted free agent) |
Draft hand:ย 11, 29, 37, 65, 83
Potential gains: The Dogs will add former defender Liam Jones through free agency in a move that will strengthen their rearguard. Demon Adam Tomlinson has reportedly undergone a medical at Whitten Oval, but more substance to that move remains to be seen. Docker Rory Lobb has requested a move in hope of landing at the Kennel, but that has been shut down by Fremantle. The Dogs will continue their attempt to lure Lobb despite the setback.
Potential losses:ย Star defender Josh Dunkley has requested a move to Brisbane, a deal that will get done one way or another. Free agent Jason Johannisen has been flagged as a target for the Suns, however, could remain a Dog given Gold Coast's interest in Ben Long. Defender Zaine Cordy has been flagged as a potentially gettable option for rivals given his expiring contract.
