The rumour mill is beginning to pick up speed ahead of the AFL's off-season, with trade, free agency and draft planning almost in top gear.
It has been a bust week for the likes of West Coast and Richmond, with the latter having a handful of players tied to the exit door - some of whom are linked with the Eagles.
We look at all of the latest trade news and rumours from the past week...
Premiership Tiger expected to join Eagles
Richmond midfielder Jack Graham is expected to sign with West Coast as an unrestricted free agent barring any "significant shift".
7 News'ย Ryan Daniels has revealed there is a strong chance Graham now departs Punt Road in favour of a move to the Eagles this off-season.
Graham is one of several Tigers players eligible for free agency this off-season and could reunite with new West Coast list manager Matt Clarke in Perth.
The Eagles' play for Graham could aid their efforts to lure teammate and close friend Liam Baker to West Coast.

Sydney find themselves well-placed for a premiership this year, but there may be an area of their list they look to improve to strengthen their flag prospects.
The Swans have managed an extremely successful signing period in 2024, locking away all of Logan McDonald, Errol Gulden, Will Hayward, James Rowbottom and Oliver Florent to new deals this year.

Clubs in need of a key defender are beginning to show interest in Edwards, who sits behind Jeremy McGovern and Tom Barrass in the Eagles' pecking order.
