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.
11. Melbourne
Reports surrounding contracted Port Adelaide defender Dan Houston's potential desire to return to Victoria suggested Melbourne were viewed as the leading suitor for the All-Australian.
But with Houston changing his tune, the Demons have been forced to look elsewhere.
Having lost Angus Brayshaw ahead of this season, Houston was a suitable replacement option for 2025 and beyond, however would've cost the club a pair of first-round picks.
St Kilda free agent Josh Battle was said to be of interest to the Demons, but he will join Hawthorn, while West Coast's Harry Edwards was another key defender who was tied to the Demons but has since re-sign with the Eagles.
GWS half-back Isaac Cumming is said to be in Melbourne's sights, while Eagles forward Jake Waterman had reported interest from the Demons but is contracted at West Coast for the next 12 months.
Giants midfielder James Peatling is another name linked to the Demons in 2024, but he too has plenty of other suitors, while another in Wade Derksen has reported interest from the Demons.
