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.

Geelong

The Cats are as busy as ever, and are deemed the front runners for Zak Butters' signature.

Geelong have a long history of luring star talent, and even used Bailey Smith in its pitch to Butters.

The Cats also sounded out Mitch Georgiades earlier in the year in a potential plan to sign both Port Adelaide stars.

Toby Greene is set to move to Kardinia Park, with no movement at the Giants on his deal, while St Kilda ruckman Rowan Marshall has once again been listed as a player of interest.

Calsher Dear is another name linked to the Cats.
