Here is our ULTIMATE club-by-club AFL trade news and rumours guide for the off-season...
Sydney
The Swans are tipped for a double Demons coup as Brodie Grundy and James Jordon reportedly plan to head north to the Harbour City, the latter being through free agency. With Paddy Dow also said to be of interest to the Swans, any link to a third Demon in James Harmes could be fading as they build their midfield with other assets. Winger Dylan Stephens is said to be seeking a move to Victoria and could land with North Melbourne.
Potential Targets: James Harmes, Paddy Dow, James Jordon, Brodie Grundy
Potential Departures: Dylan Stephens
Confirmed Departures: Lance Franklin (retired), Tom Hickey (retired), Paddy McCartin (retired)
