The AFLW trade period is closing in. The times and dates haven’t been locked in, but are expected to be announced following key AFL meetings in early May.
Despite that, clubs are already deep in discussions with players about what the future holds and rumours are rife.
Putting specifics aside, here’s what all 14 AFLW teams need from the upcoming trade period.

In a rematch of the inaugural AFLW Grand Final, Adelaide will take on Brisbane on Saturday afternoon with everything on the line.
The Crows will be looking to claim their third premiership from four tries, if you discount the cancelled 2020 season, and cement their legacy as the dominant team of the first era of AFLW.

Brisbane meanwhile only has seven, with the majority of their side picked off by expansion teams.

St Kilda’s finals aspirations will also go on the line when they face Melbourne at Casey Fields, while we will have our first return clash in AFLW history when the West Coast Eagles and Fremantle contest the second Western Derby of the season, to be played with fans in attendance.
