It's officially silly season as the AFL opens the start of the 2026 Trade Period.
Some moves were confirmed since the Free Agency window opened on Friday, but there's plenty more movement expected over the next 10 days.
Here we've looked at every club's potential trade and free agency moves, their current crop of off-contract players, confirmed departures and draft hand for the off-season.
Hawthorn
Reported Trade Targets: Zach Merrett, Ben King, Josh Goater
Off-Contract Players: Max Ramsden, Will McCabe, Flynn Perez
Confirmed Departures: Cody Anderson, Jaime Uhr-Henry, Henry Hustwaite, James Blanck, Bodie Ryan.
Draft Hand: 15, 25, 27, 35, 69
The great positive story of the week out of Hawthorn was the re-signing of father-son Calsher Dear. After strongly considering rival interest, he will remain at Dingley for a further two years despite the club's surplus of tall forwards.
Hawthorn's first offer, Picks 15, 25 and a future third-rounder, for Zach Merrett was refused by the Bombers in an explosive start to negotiations, which suggests it could again be difficult to find a medium for the two clubs.
The Hawks are chasing Josh Goater, who has officially requested a trade and passed a medical at Hawthorn.
Meanwhile, Hawthorn list boss Mark McKenzie confirmed on Wednesday that Finn Maginness remains a player of interest for Western Bulldogs.
