The 2026 off-season is shaping up to be one of the busiest in recent years, with a host of names poised to switch guernseys in the next fortnight.
With club-linked players and Tasmania's imminent introduction set to influence how clubs value draft picks, determining the worth of each player could prove more complicated than usual.
The list below will strip out the impact of bidding and focus solely on what each player is worth in terms of a draft pick(s).
We assess the trade value of all 25 players currently expected to move clubs IF there were no limitations on deals.
What is each player actually worth on the trade table?
Finn Maginness
Once upon a time, not too long ago, "The Finnisher" was one of the hottest coolers in the game.
The 25-year-old has managed 64 matches in the seven seasons since his debut, but toiled away with aplomb in the twos this year. Across 14 outings this season, Maginness averaged 27.6 disposals playing for premiers Box Hill in the VFL, and made the preliminary Team of the Year squad for his troubles.
However, given his inability to be as prolific at the elite level, a late second-round or early third-round draft pick feels like a fair price for the man who will forever be remembered for his fierce battles against a young Nick Daicos.
Maginness trade value: Pick 38
