As the dust settles on a spectacular 2023 season following Collingwood's thrilling clinching of the premiership, AFL clubs - including the Magpies - turn their attention to the off-season trade, free agency and draft space to begin their preparations for next year.
Clubs have been working on their list and recruiting plans since the early weeks of the season, and as we now near the business end of the player movement calendar the trade news, and rumours, only ramp up further.
We've looked at the confirmed and potential comings and goings for each club, as well as the draft hands of all 18 sides and the players still awaiting a contract for 2024.
Here is our ULTIMATE club-by-club AFL trade news and rumours guide for the off-season...
Gold Coast
It seems as though most of the news that surrounds the Suns relates to players potentially being on the way out as the Carrara club plans to add to its draft hand rather than its list. Mabior Chol has widespread interest despite being contracted until the end of 2025, while Elijah Hollands could find his way to Carlton even though he too is signed at the Suns for the next 12 months. They have a heap of players still unsigned though and players like Jeremy Sharp and Brodie McLaughlin are likely to be on the radar of their rivals.
Potential Targets: N/A
Potential Departures: Mabior Chol, Brodie McLaughlin, Elijah Hollands, Jeremy Sharp, Chris Burgess
Confirmed Departures: Connor Blakely (retired)
Draft Picks: 4, 29, 35, 43, 57, 61, 66, 69, 79 (4033 points)
