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.

The Suns have locked away Bailey Humphrey and Jed Walter to new deals amid heavy interest, but are expected to lose Ben King to Hawthorn.

Essendon defender Jordan Ridley has indicated a desire to move to Queensland, but is weighing up multiple options in the league.
Coleman Medallist Jesse Hogan is also on Gold Coast's radar.
