Seems like it this trade period, teams more prepared to go after mature players and prepared to give up picks to do so.
WC didn't put up a fight to get Kelly despite him being uncontracted.
Saints and Blues who have been hardline draft/play the kids for quite a while are going after players on mass despite not having shown they are yet contenders, this is not topping up but a change of strategy.
The Swans are going after Daniher despite having their worse season in ages when we would have previously seen a rebuild and the Dons aren't letting him go.
GC and GWS are getting their usual cream of the draft but im not sure thats by choice.
The Crows seem to be the only teams intentionally doing a clean out for picks, which might actually work if the pendulum has swung towards players.
