<p>The 2024 AFL season is only a month away as teams finalise their rosters and get ready to fight for the flag.</p>
<p>As always there has been plenty of movement during the AFL’s trade period. In excess of 100 players found a new home either by trade or draft in what was another busy offseason. </p>

<p>We’ve also highlighted all the major ins and outs at every team, so fans can keep up to date with all the transfer and draft activity that has taken place.</p>
