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.

There's no surprise the Swans haven't been tied to many players of note this year given how successful they have been in re-signing their own star players.

Having all of Will Hayward, Logan McDonald, Errol Gulden, James Rowbottom and Oliver Florent locked away seemed like a long shot early into the season, but the Swans managed to tick each one off one by one.

Essendon gun Jake Stringer has been linked to the Swans, but a move looks less likely.

The Swans' attention now turns to securing gun onballer Chad Warner to a new deal, with the Western Australian off-contract next year and expected to be of interest to WA clubs.
