As many as 32 players have been reported, named, listed or floated as trade targets this year, with that figure likely to grow in the coming months as AFL clubs begin to plan their lists for 2024 and beyond.
Several highly sought-after names have turned down external advances this year to make the open market even more competitive, while five restricted free agents are yet to recommit.
While unlikely to be as manic as last year's trade window, talk around this year's free agency and trade space is starting to build.
Here's who each club has been linked with so far in 2023.
Brisbane
The Lions were among the clubs linked with GWS free agent Harry Himmelberg, who re-signed with the Giants until the end of 2029 in what was a major retention signing for the AFL's youngest club. The Lions are likely to be looking to add to their backline to support Harris Andrews and Jack Payne, with Marcus Adams' playing future still up in the air. Tom Doedee has been tied to the premiership contenders as a potential replacement for Adams.
