Adelaide

In: Shane McAdam, Tyson Stengle, pick 13, 2019 fifth-round pick

Out: Mitch McGovern, pick 40, 2019 third-round pick, 2019 fourth-round pick

2018 draft picks: 8, 13, 16, 21, 73, 83

Summary: Didn’t bring any huge names, but got a good deal for McGovern and two dangerous forwards in Stengle and McAdam. With their four high picks they can still bundle up picks to trade up for the elite SA talent.

Rank: 10th

Brisbane

In: Marcus Adams, Lincoln McCarthy, Lachie Neale, picks 18, 30, 35, 56, 78, 2019 first-round pick, 2019 second-round pick, 2019 third-round pick

Out: Dayne Beams, Sam Mayes, picks 5, 24, 43, 62, 80, 2019 first-round pick

2018 draft picks: 18, 30, 35, 56, 78

Summary: Losing Beams hurts the Lions, badly, but they brought in a star mids and an experienced tall. Lincoln McCarthy is a low-cost gamble.

Rank: 7th

Carlton

In: Mitch McGovern, Alex Fasolo, Will Setterfield, Nic Newman, pick 71, 2019 third-round pick

Out: Picks 26, 28, 43, 2019 fourth-round pick, 2019 fifth-round pick

2018 draft picks: 1, 69, 71, 77

Summary: The Blues brought in some good players at the cost of their second and third rounders. Setterfield could be anything if he gets his body right and McGovern will add real marking power.

Rank: 8th

Collingwood

In: Picks 41, 44, 57, Dayne Beams, Jordan Roughead

Out: Alex Fasolo, picks 18, 56, 75, 2019 first-round pick

2018 draft picks: 41, 44, 51, 57, 93

Summary: Dayne Beams is back in the black and white, big cost for an older player but their midfield looks truly menacing now. Collingwood also traded shrewdly to accrue picks for Isaac Quaynor and Will Kelly.

Rank: 9th

Essendon

In: Dylan Shiel, 2019 second-round pick, 2019 fourth-round pick

Out: Travis Colyer, pick 9, 2019 first-round pick

2018 draft picks: 34, 66, 84

Summary: Dylan Shiel was all Essendon needed this trade period and they got him at the 11th hour. Didn’t come cheaply but should be worth it. The Dons will most likely not miss Travis Colyer.

Rank: 5th

Fremantle

In: Travis Colyer, Reece Conca, Jesse Hogan, Rory Lobb, picks 14, 31, 43, 65

Out: Lachie Neale, pick 6, 2019 third-round pick, 2019 fourth-round pick

2018 draft picks: 14, 31, 43, 65, 81

Summary: Turning Neale and 6 into Lobb, Hogan, 14, 31 and 43 was brilliant trading. Conca adds instant midfield depth and Ross could find a use for Colyer yet.

Rank: 1st
