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.
Melbourne
Reported Trade Targets: Zane Duursma, Laitham Vandermeer
Off-Contract Players:
Confirmed Departures: Tom Campbell (retired), Jack Henderson (delisted), Aidan Johnson (delisted), Steven May (retired), Shane McAdam (retired), Tom McDonald (retired), Jake Melksham (retired), Andy Moniz-Wakefield (delisted), Riley Onley (delisted), Kalani White (delisted)
Draft Hand: 6, 10, 47
Lost out on the signature of young Hawthorn key forward Calsher Dear in a surprise turn of events. Dear turned his back on the Dees to re-sign at the Hawks for a further two seasons.
Likely good news for Duursma, who is eager to leave North Melbourne and join the club he trained at during his draft year.
Melbourne's Pick 6 and Pick 10 are both too early for Duursma, but North Melbourne won't be satisfied with Pick 43. Figuring out how to acquire the 21-year-old high flyer will likely be the Dees main priority now.
