Just about every club has been linked to a rival player, or several, through trade rumours and reports this year, with fans keen to see who their team could add to their list.

With plenty of names included in the trade and free agency conversation in 2025, we've listed every player each AFL team has been tied to so far this season.

The Crows have been closely tied to St Kilda defender and Glenelg product Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera this year as the potential All-Australian weighs up his future.

The former first-round pick is anticipated to decide between remaining at Moorabbin or heading back to South Australia, with Port Adelaide also tipped to be showing interest in Wanganeen-Milera's services.

Meanwhile, the Crows have been tied to Essendon ruckman Sam Draper this year, however, he looks more and more likely to remain at the Bombers after his season-ending Achilles injury.

Adelaide could increase their interest in Draper, while Saint Rowan Marshall has also been flagged, should their own first-string ruckman in Reilly O'Brien, look elsewhere.
