THE AFLW TRADE period for 2024 opens on Thursday and while it's not expected to match the intensity of last year, plenty of players are expected to change clubs.

Trade period runs until Wednesday, December 11, with the AFLW draft scheduled for Monday, December 16.

St Kilda is one club tipped to go hard during the trade period, while Melbourne is looking to off-load some top-end talent in order to move up the draft as it continues to regenerate.

Meanwhile the Suns are a club in turmoil, with captain Tara Bohanna weighing up her trade options following the sacking of coach Cameron Joyce.

To stay across all the latest trade moves as they happen, keep coming back to AFL.com.au and the AFL Live app.
