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.

Carlton

The Blues have quickly become a destination club once again, and the signing of Josh Fraser, coupled with a shock finals appearance, has made them attractive.

Sydney free agent Joel Amartey is still high on Carlton's list, and he is yet to make a decision, although it's largely believed he'll remain in the Harbour City.

Nevertheless, the Blues are gunning for the key forward, potentially teaming him up with close mates Will Hayward and Ollie Florent.

Brisbane depth forward Will McLachlan has gained interest from Carlton following an extraordinary season in the VFL.

Bulldogs utility Buku Khamis is yet to determine his future, but has an interest in joining the Blues.

Calsher Dear is another name linked to the Blues, as is Geelong's Gryan Miers.
