A look at every AFL club's key moves during the trade period, when Port Adelaide, Essendon and Hawthorn all got busy.
ADELAIDE: Received pick 19 for losing Tom Doedee as a free agent. Had a swing and a miss at contracted Demon Harrison Petty but snapped up Chris Burgess (Gold Coast) on the cheap.
BRISBANE: Landed restricted free agent Doedee and lost Tom Fullarton to Melbourne, then paid up for Hawthorn's mid-season recruit Brandon Ryan in a trade that sent veteran forward Jack Gunston back to the Hawks.
CARLTON: Picked up Elijah Hollands from Gold Coast to pair him up with younger brother Ollie. Lost Zac Fisher to North Melbourne and Paddy Dow to St Kilda.
COLLINGWOOD: Were stunned by Taylor Adams' trade request but let him go to Sydney early in the trade period. Lured Fremantle small forward Lachie Schultz and traded Jack Ginnivan to Hawthorn, but insisted they didn't push out the premiership livewire.
ESSENDON: Snapped up Ben McKay, Jade Gresham and Todd Goldstein as free agents. Lost Brandon Zerk-Thatcher to Port Adelaide and Massimo D'Ambrosio to Hawthorn, but landed winger Xavier Duursma in the final deal before the deadline.
FREMANTLE: Lost Schultz, Liam Henry and Joel Hamling but drastically improved their draft hand for next year, including two additional first-round picks.
GEELONG: Reluctantly traded key defender Esava Ratugolea to Port Adelaide on the final day.
GOLD COAST: Traded out their high draft picks to snare points for their bevy of top academy prospects, then traded Mabior Chol to Hawthorn, let former top-10 pick Hollands move to Carlton and Burgess leave for Adelaide.
GWS: Ruckman Matthew Flynn departed for more opportunity at West Coast.
HAWTHORN: Pounced on Ginnivan early on the final day, then landed Chol from the Suns and sealed Gunston's return. Traded out Jacob Koschitzke (Richmond), Tyler Brockman (West Coast) and Ryan (Brisbane.)
MELBOURNE: Let Brodie Grundy go to Sydney and James Harmes head to the Bulldogs, then brought in Fullarton. The Demons also improved their draft hand and snagged former Saint Jack Billings. Could they make a play for pick No.1?
NORTH MELBOURNE: Happily let McKay go to Essendon to earn pick No.3 as free agency compensation, while Goldstein also departed. Now possess picks No.2, 3, 15, 17 and 18. Landed Fisher and Dylan Stephens from Carlton and Sydney respectively.
PORT ADELAIDE: Successfully claimed Richmond ruck Ivan Soldo early on the final day, then found a way to get Ratugolea, Jordon Sweet and Zerk-Thatcher through the door, while sending Duursma to Essendon.
RICHMOND: Were reluctant to let Soldo go but sealed a bevy of draft picks in exchange, then landed target Koschitzke from Hawthorn.
ST KILDA: Snared Henry and added Dow on the final day. Earned an end-of-first-round draft pick as compensation for Gresham. Traded Nick Coffield to the Bulldogs and sent Billings to Melbourne.
SYDNEY: Got busy early by landing Grundy and Adams. Snapped up Jordon and Hamling as unrestricted free agents. Lost Stephens to North.
WEST COAST: Kept hold of the No.1 pick, for now at least, while adding Hawks forward Brockman via trade and GWS ruckman Flynn as a free agent.
WESTERN BULLDOGS: Paid up to land the No.5 draft pick from Gold Coast, snared premiership Demon Harmes and St Kilda defender Coffield via trades, and sent Sweet to Port Adelaide.
