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.

Collingwood

The Pies are busy getting better every day, according to coach Craig McRae, and they've taken that motto to the trade and free agency table.

It looks all but certain they'll sign Lachie Neale for the next three seasons, and are keen to pair him with Port Adelaide free agent Zak Butters.

Collingwood tabled a club-record offer to lure Butters to Olympic Park.

Outside of that, the Pies have discussed luring free agents Jesse Hogan and Jake Stringer to bolster the club's forward line, although they have noted they are not a high priority.

Calsher Dear is another name linked to the Pies, as is Suns forward Jake Rogers, but he is set to stay at the club.
