With the home stretch of the AFL season upon us, the league's trade news cycle is set to go up a gear as clubs begin to prepare for 2026 and beyond.

The year so far has seen some of the game's best players enter uncertain periods, whether they be under contract or not.

Just about every club has been linked to a rival player, or several, through trade rumours and reports this year, with fans keen to see who their team could add to their list.

With plenty of names included in the trade and free agency conversation in 2025, we've listed every player each AFL team has been tied to so far this season.

While the Eagles will take another step in their rebuild this year, the Perth powerhouse has still been linked with more star talent.

Collingwood ruckman and Western Australian Darcy Cameron is one name tied to West Coast, who could look to move Matt Flynn to the secondary ruck role at Lathlain Park.

Western Bulldogs skipper Marcus Bontempelli was also stunningly linked to the Eagles, with a move away from the Kennel unlikely for the Dogs ace.

North Melbourne youngster Will Phillips is another said to be on West Coast's radar, with the former Pick 3 selection unlikely to cost the Eagles much on the open market.

WA locals Angus Sheldrick and Neil Erasmus from Sydney and Fremantle respectively have also been noted as reported players of interets to West Coast. 

The Eagles joined Fremantle in hoping to lure Chad Warner out of Sydney, but a new deal with the Swans will mean both sides will have to wait a few more years at least.
