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.

Collingwood is anticipated to make major moves in 2025 despite a few recently busy years on the open market.

In-demand Suns star Matt Rowell had reported interest from several Victorian sides, with the Magpies among the chasing pack before he re-signed. 

Port Adelaide's Zak Butters is in a similar position and has been named on Collingwood's radar; however the Power midfielder has a contract for 2026.

Suns key forward Ben King is also penned to a deal through to the end of next year but has been documented as a player the Magpies will target, whether that's this year or next.

Brisbane forward Logan Morris was tied to the Magpies before he re-signed with the Lions, while Collingwood were also linked to Western Bulldogs champion Marcus Bontempelli in what looms as an unlikely move.
