With under a month left before the AFL's trade and free agency windows open, it's safe to assume fans are yet to see this year's player movement rumour mill in full spin.

The past few weeks alone have been brimming with fresh trade news and speculation as clubs toward the bottom of the competition begin to place their attention on list management planning.

Some players have been tied to potential moves elsewhere for what seems like the whole season, while new names are beginning to emerge as recent years have shown an increase in the number of contracted players who find new clubs.

With clubs keeping tabs on a host of rival players and their interest set to ramp up over the coming weeks, we've looked at the players every AFL team has been linked to this year who are still potentially up for grabs.

10. Hawthorn

Sam Mitchell flagged last year that 2024 would be the year the Hawks would ramp up their focus on acquiring experienced talent, and they haven't messed around this season.

Playing a brand of football that is sure to attract any player weighing up their options for the future, Mitchell has helped lead the club's recruitment planning this year by getting on the front foot and talking with players of interest.

That list includes West Coast defender Tom Barrass, GWS defender Harry Perryman and St Kilda backman Josh Battle, with Hawthorn only needing to trade for Barrass among the three.

Both Barrass and Battle have confirmed their desire to land at Waverley this off-season, significantly bolstering Mitchell's backline.

Barrass could cost the Hawks more than a first-round pick, but pursuits for Battle and Perryman will leave the Hawks with a stronger draft hand going forward.
