That was exhausting. After a quiet couple of weeks, trade period finished with a bang. 22 bangs in fact.
The son of God has returned to Geelong!
I'd like to thank both the GC Suns and the GFC for their support this week and for getting me back home. Head to @exinsight for more info pic.twitter.com/TKAa7EIV6P

Bryce Gibbs.
Number 1 pick, 231 games, a best and fairest and an exceptional leader.
Amazing service to the Carlton Football Club.

The Blues got the picks they wanted, although here’s the real winner:
Gibbs the real winner here, 29 years old, moves home to a club in the window and gets a 4 year deal worth plenty #AFLTrades

Freo somehow extracted pick 2 from Gold Coast for Lachie Weller.
Suns had to get Lachie Weller. Pick 2 a high price (got 41 back) but getting a 'local' boy priceless.

Merry Christmas Ross.
It's like Christmas for Ross #AFLTrades pic.twitter.com/au7RkPF2qW

Brandon Matera and Nathan Wilson got to Freo too.
Reckon Brandon Matera is a great get for a future 3rd rounder. 13th for average goals per game this season. Should be entering his prime…

After months of speculation and a re-signing, Josh Schache has returned to Melbourne and joined the Dogs.
Pick 25 and 40 for Josh Schache
— Sam Landsberger ? (@SamLandsberger) October 19, 2017
Bevo has certainly shaken things up at the Kennel!
Dogs end up with Josh Schache, Hayden Crozier, Jackson Trengove plus picks 9 + 16. Stringer out.
They’ve rattled to the line very nicely.
— Sam Landsberger ? (@SamLandsberger) October 19, 2017
Mr Durability Sam Gibson will join Adelaide.
Pleased for Sam Gibson. Would've been a harsh way to go out, playing 130 straight games. Crows clearly have a role in mind for him. Tagger?

SOS was a busy man.
Kennedy✅✅
Lang✅

Aaron Young got to the Suns for a late pick.
Deal done? #AFLTrades pic.twitter.com/QPfxtaAF8Y

The Pies somehow lost a 2018 2nd rounder for a Sydney rookie. Bizarre.
With all due respect to Sam Murray I can't understand how or why the Pies would dispose of a future 2nd round pick as part of it #AFLTrades
— Tristan Foenander (@TFoenander) October 19, 2017
for those playing at home, nathan wilson's value roughly equivalent to whoever that swans nobody the Pies picked up is
— Lenny (@lenphil29) October 19, 2017
What a couple of weeks for the Bombers, they could be in for a big 2018.
This goes down as Essendon's greatest trade period and Adrian Dodoro's finest hour. Top 6 should be realistic now for them.
— Ronny Lerner (@RonnyLerner) October 19, 2017
Although these guys did pretty well too.
Congratulations to @PAFC recruitment team led, by Jason Cripps and Chris Davies, who have done an incredible job during trade period.
