While players and coaches are gearing up for another campaign after a long pre-season, list managers have also been pulling strings before a ball has bounced almost a year out from the 2025 trade period.
While not a common occurrence, pre-season trade news has been a feature this year as star players Luke Davies-Uniacke, Matt Rowell, Oscar Allen and Tom De Koning have calls to make.
Reports have gone as far as to suggest Allen and Rowell have spoken to other clubs over the off-season, with club list managers getting their interest in early.
With this year's crop of off-contract names still home to a plethora of quality players, we've looked at who could be up for grabs and which clubs are positioned as potential landing spots.
With this list, we name the one player your club should be keeping a close eye on in 2025.
13. Port Adelaide
Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera
The half-back options at Alberton will be a fascinating watch this year as Power look to see who emerges as Dan Houston's replacement, while just about every defensive option is also off-contract.
Kane Farrell, Miles Bergman, Logan Evans, Jase Burgoyne, Josh Sinn, Ryan Burton and Rory Atkins, as well as promising mover Jeremy Finlayson, are all unsigned beyond this season.
Burgoyne and Evans are expected to re-sign, however Farrell and Bergman will garner strong interest from rival clubs.
The uncertainty surrounding their attacking backline options, coupled with Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera's own status as an off-contract asset, should have Port Adelaide in a position to make a play for the young Saints backman.
A product out of South Australia, Wanganeen-Milera is tipped to fetch the interest of both the Power and Crows this year should he remain unsigned.
Port Adelaide might be behind the Crows from a trade capital perspective given they're without their first-round selection for the 2025 draft.
