<\/a><\/p>\nIt’s officially the AFL<\/a> off-season, with free agency opening on Friday and the 2025 Trade Period will follow just days later.\u00a0<\/p>\n All 18 clubs look set to be active in the player movement space, with some busier than others in looking to lure talent through their doors.<\/p>\n St Kilda, Geelong and Brisbane look to be among the more aggressive clubs in chasing top-line talent, while clubs like Fremantle and Richmond are seemingly more likely to place more of a focus on the draft.<\/p>\n Here we’ve looked at every club’s potential trade and free agency moves, their current crop of off-contract players, confirmed departures and draft hand for the off-season.\u00a0<\/p>\n 1. Adelaide<\/p>\n Reported Trade Targets: Callum Ah Chee<\/a>, Christian Petracca<\/a>, Zach Merrett<\/a> The Crows are expected to be aggressive this off-season, and have begun to show an interest in Melbourne superstar Christian Petracca<\/a>. Essendon skipper Zach Merrett<\/a> is also reportedly in their sights, however is a less likely option for them. One name who is expected to land at West Lakes this off-season is Callum Ah Chee<\/a>, who will bring some needed premiership experience to the SA club after a pair of successful seasons with Brisbane. Veteran sharpshooter Taylor Walker<\/a> is another big watch as his future remains up in the air.\u00a0<\/p>\n
