AFL Trade News, Rumours & Whispers

Every AFL trade rumour worth tracking, carded from the first whisper through the October trade period. Each card shows who reported it, the outlet's credibility tier, and how far along the deal really is — list-manager logic over hot takes, and no move called done until it's Sealed.

Cards below track reported moves through our six-stage lifecycle — from first whisper to Sealed. Anything short of the Sealed badge is a rumour: reported, attributed to the sources shown, and not officially confirmed.
