Essendon easy.

Extorted Sydney on Francis deal and then got Wiedeman for peanuts.

Is Weideman much of an upgrade?

Couldn’t get near it a Top 4 side that was crying out for a key position forward to step up.

How is he going to go in a bottom side?

Gold Coast had another ripping trade period

 

[asanque]

Winners: Geelong, Richmond

Losers: Hawthorn, Gold Coast

I think we just all agree that 2022 was the year Geelong won everything

 

[GoldenMagpie16]

Collingwood did pretty well

 

[Jibroni]

Tigers, on paper they will have one of the best midfields in the comp next year.

 

[MisterMarcus]

Think we might be in the conversation somehow.....

Geelong, Richmond, Brisbane.

Port also did very well, and Melb did as good as could be expected. I thnk if Freo had landed Sharpe they would have done extremely well as well, but they lost quite a few players who were playing well so it is a little hard to judge for them.

Richmond - Big fan of Taranto and Hopper, boosts their midfield stocks immensely
Geelong - pick 7 and Bowes for nothing
Brisbane - Dunkley is immense, Gunston adds great experience
Port - did well in the jhf and rioli trades

Losers
Hawthorn - I understand why they did it, but they still lost Gunston, Mitchell and O Meara for very little
Gold Coast - obviously.

Think most of the top 8 teams have improved the list and the bottom 8 mostly stagnated

 

[La Dispute]

A lot of player movement at Freo.

In: Jackson, JOM
Out: Logue, Lobb, Acres, Meek, Tucker

Pulling the horse before the cart?

 

[Foucault1989]

Hawthorn lost the trade period.

 

[NeutralFan]

St Kilda did nothing really and I don't know if they were in a position to do that and back in current player development.

 

[Milanista28]

On paper the Geelong period is one of the best I've ever seen.

 

[Plugger46]

Geelong and Richmond
Poort would have won it if they get Esava

Losers are definitely Hawthorn and Gold coast..
I reckon the Hawks will struggle next year big time through the middle and up forward. Gold coast just keep showing that they're the basket case of the league

It does feel as if pretty much all the clubs that did well are already strong clubs.

True, so many good sides just got a whole lot better

Geelong - big, big win
Richmond - big, big win
Brisbane - big win

Can see a real improvement in the top end next year, factoring some natural development in the Sydney squad

St Kilda did nothing really and I don't know if they were in a position to do that and back in current player development.

If I was a St Kilda fan I’d rather back the clubs development than continue shelling out draft picks and big contracts on players.

Having little involvement is not the worst outcome for them.

Equalisation working as intended

Leading up to trade period the club said we were going in on the draft, committed to that during trade period, yet people seem confused as to why we didn't do a lot....

As for winners, Geelong by a mile.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Essendon winners again

That's fair. Personally not optimistic with their players to go up a level bar Gresham, King and Windhager.
