With only a week before the beginning of the 2026 AFL Finals series, the trade talk channels are set to hit fever pitch.
After this coming weekend, eight clubs will turn their attention to improving their list during the off-season in a bid to rise up the ladder next year, while the remaining 10 will push for premiership success.
As the weeks continue, more clubs will drop away from the flag chase, and silly season will take its place.
With plenty of names included in the trade and free agent conversation in 2026, we've listed every player each AFL team has been tied to so far this season.
North Melbourne
The Kangaroos want defensive help, and Adelaide's Nick Murray looms as the likeliest, although he is contracted until the end of 2028.
Murray and teammate Jordon Butts are on North Melbourne's radar, but the latter is set to join the Western Bulldogs.
Carlton's Oliver Hollands doesn't have a deal for next year and has met with North Melbourne.
Hollands was coy on his future following a VFL game recently, saying:
"Obviously a busy week, but I just want to continue playing good footy for the rest of the year," Hollands said on Fox Footy's VFL broadcast.
