AFL Trade Talks Heat Up Ahead of 2026 Finals
With the 2026 AFL Finals series just a week away, trade discussions are becoming increasingly active. Eight clubs are preparing to enhance their rosters during the off-season, while the remaining ten focus on securing premiership victories.
As the finals approach, clubs will begin to shift their focus from championship aspirations to trade opportunities. Notably, the Crows are reportedly pursuing Brisbane's Zac Bailey, with a substantial offer already on the table. Bailey's decision regarding his future is expected to be made after the season concludes.
Additionally, Gold Coast's Charlie Ballard may attract interest if he opts for a trade, as his current contract is set to expire at the end of 2029.
