The 2023 trade period is officially open, with the nine-day exchange window set to see a host of players swap colours ahead of a new season.
All 18 clubs are likely to take part in at least one deal over the week-and-a-half, while some clubs firm as key players in several separate deals.
Free agency opened last Friday and will run for one week, with a trio of deals already over the line.
Below is our 2023 AFL trade guide, covering each club's potential and confirmed ins and outs, trade rumours, draft picks and more.

Essendonย
The Bombers will be one of the busier clubs over the next nine days, with a trio of free agents potentially heading to Tullamarine from rivalling Victorian clubs. North Melbourne pair Todd Goldstein and Ben McKay are looking to make the move to Essendon, while St Kilda restricted free agent Jade Gresham is also tipped to become a Bomber. A deal for Gresham could be the first part of a three-stage deal with the Saints that would see Dylan Shiel head the other way in a subsequent trade agreement. The Bombers are also set to farewell Brandon Zerk-Thatcher to Port Adelaide and could ask for Power wingman Xavier Duursma in return. Second-year flanker Massimo D'Ambrosio is seeking a move to Hawthorn and will likely pocket the Bombers a third or fourth-round pick.
