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 low-scoring scrap at Kardinia Park, skipper Ellie Blackburn was again the shining light on Friday night as the Bulldogs pulled away late to win 3.6 (24) to 1.3 (9).Loading
After producing one of the best individual quarters in AFLW history to drag her team across the line against Carlton last week, Blackburn delivered another consistent performance to rack up a second-straight best-on-ground.
