Day 5 of the trade period saw Zak Butters granted his wish to join the Bulldogs, Ben King officially become a Hawk, and a 5 Club Mega Trade completed, the intricacies of which are virtually impossible to comprehend.

Day 4 of the trade period saw the Cats finally secure ruckman Rowan Marshall from St Kilda, giving up Pick 14 in the process. This makes recruiting Nick Blakey nigh on impossible, but there's no shortage of clubs expressing interest in the want-away Swan.

Day 3 of the trade period saw Jordan Ridley move to Geelong, Jack Bowes become a Bomber, and Danny Daly decide not to pursue the coaching role at Brisbane. The Suns have until Friday to decide if they'll match Hawthorn's offer to Ben King, but could Aidan Schubert throw a spanner in the works? Could Essendon stand in the way of Cody Walker getting to the Blues? And where is all the trade discussion around Nick Blakey coming from?

Day 2 of the trade period saw Jaymie Graham officially announced as Coach of the Kangaroos, whilst their young star Zane Duursma is determined to head to the Demons. Plus Nathan O'Driscoll departs Fremantle to become a Tiger.

Day 1 of the official trade period has gone off with a bang! Zach Merrett is now a Hawk, Jesse Hogan is a Magpie, and Jaymie Graham will take over the coaching reigns at the Kangaroos.
