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.
Port Adelaide
Reported Trade Targets: Luke Pedlar, Laitham Vandermeer
Off-Contract Players: Ollie Lord, Tom Anastasopoulos, Xavier Bamert
Confirmed Departures: Benny Barrett (delisted), Mani Liddy (delisted), Jackson Mead (delisted), Will Lorenz (delisted), Xavier Walsh (delisted), Ivan Soldo (retired), Zak Butters (free agent)
Draft Hand: 4, 22, 30, 44, 46, 63
Port Adelaide will likely sit on their hands when it comes to the acquisition of established talent in this year's player movement period.
All roads lead to the Draft for a club with an enviable suite of club-tied prospects at the ready, and so procuring the points to acquire Dougie Cochrane this year, and Zemes Pilot, Tevita Rodan, and Louis Salopek (among others) next year will be a focus.
As it has been all year, maximising returns for genuine superstar Zak Butters will be front of mind, with negotiations with the Western Bulldogs set to hog headlines for the bulk of the trade period. This follows Butters' nomination of Luke Beveridge's environment as his preferred destination.
Crow Luke Pedlar has declared his intention to cross from West Lakes to Alberton, but all deals will be auxiliary to the Butters trade.
