Another year, another AFL trade period is done and dusted. See how your club fared.

ADELAIDE

Gained: Kyle Cheney and Luke Lowden (both Hawthorn)
Lost: –
Draft picks: 14, 35, 43, 59, 86,104, 122
The New Daily says: The Crows will hope Lowden can form a useful partner for Sam Jacobs in the ruck, while Cheney is a dogged, blue-collar defender who’ll add as much off field as he will on.

BRISBANE

Gained: Dayne Beams (Collingwood), Allen Christensen (Geelong)
Lost: Jack Crisp (Collingwood), Joel Patfull (GWS)
Draft picks: 44, 63, 67, 81, 97, 117
The New Daily says: The big winner. Dayne Beams is an elite midfielder and Allen Christensen is coming into his prime. Add them to a running division already boasting Tom Rockliff, Dayne Zorko, Pearce Hanley, Daniel Rich and James Aish and a Lions resurgence does not sound so fanciful.

CARLTON

Gained: Kristian Jaksch and Mark Whiley (both GWS), Liam Jones (Western Bulldogs)
Lost: Jeff Garlett (Melbourne) Jarrad Waite (North Melbourne, free agent)
Draft picks: 28, 61, 65, 79, 101, 119
The New Daily says: After success last year bringing in Andrejs Everitt and Sam Docherty, the Blues stepped it up a notch. Traded away a high pick in the hope that 196cm Giant Jaksch will bolster its key position deficiencies. Have rolled the dice on Liam Jones, who once loomed as a promising forward.

COLLINGWOOD

Gained: Levi Greenwood (North Melbourne), Travis Varcoe (Geelong), Jack Crisp (Brisbane)
Lost: Heritier Lumumba (Melbourne), Dayne Beams (Brisbane)
Draft picks: 5, 9, 30, 48, 85, 103, 121
The New Daily says: The loss of Beams will sting, but have done well to secure Greenwood and Varcoe – both ready-made players – and now have three picks inside the top 30 plus highly touted father-son recruit Darcy Moore, who they will take with pick nine. Made the best of a bad (Beams) situation.

ESSENDON

Gained: James Gwilt (Essendon, free agent), Adam Cooney (Western Bulldogs), Jonathan Giles (GWS)
Lost: Paddy Ryder (Port Adelaide)
Draft picks: 17, 20, 62, 71, 89, 107, 125
The New Daily says: Not the worst, especially given the dark clouds (Howlett, Winderlich) early on. Replacing Ryder with Giles is a little like replacing your Audi with a Mazda – doesn’t have the bells and whistles but it’ll do the job. Cooney is a bit long in the tooth, but will add some poise and class.

FREMANTLE

Gained: –
Lost: –
Draft picks: 13, 34, 54, 72, 90, 108, 126
The New Daily says. Obviously the experience of bringing in Colin Sylvia and Scott Gumbleton last year has put the Dockers off making the trip across for trade week.

GEELONG

Gained: Mitch Clark (Melbourne), Rhys Stanley (St Kilda)
Lost: Allen Christensen (Brisbane), Travis Varcoe (Melbourne)
Draft picks: 10, 47, 55, 60, 73, 91, 109, 127
The New Daily says: Extremely hard to read. Loss of Christensen was a major blow, with the compensation shy of his value. Traded off some good picks for two completely unpredictable talls in Mitch Clark and Rhys Stanley. If both get it together, the Cats could be unstoppable. It’s a big if…

GOLD COAST SUNS

Gained: Nick Malceski (Sydney), Mitch Hallahan (Hawthorn)
Lost: –
Draft picks: 8, 29, 66,102, 120
The New Daily says: Not particularly adventurous, but with the quality of young talent on their books they don’t need to be. The Gold Coast are like Apple computers in 1980 – ready to explode. Malceski will add class and a hard body. Threw a bone to 22-year-old Hawks midfielder Hallahan.

GREATER WESTERN SYDNEY

Gained: Joel Patfull (Brisbane), Ryan Griffen (Western Bulldogs)
Lost: Tom Boyd (Western Bulldogs), Jono O’Rourke (Hawthorn), Kristian Jaksch and Mark Whiley (both Carlton), Jonathan Giles (Essendon), Sam Frost (Melbourne)
Draft picks: 4, 6, 7, 23, 24, 80, 98, 116
The New Daily says: Will be smarting most with the loss of Boyd, but O’Rourke (pick two) and Jaksch (pick 12) will also be keenly felt. In the club’s infancy, retaining key talent is key to establishing a reputation as a ‘destination’, not a halfway house for new draftees before they can secure passage home. Griffen is a great get, while Patfull was Brisbane’s club champion in 2012.

HAWTHORN

Gained: James Frawley (Melbourne, free agent), Jono O’Rourke (GWS)
Lost: Kyle Cheney and Luke Lowden (Adelaide)
Draft picks: 31, 49, 50, 77, 95, 113, 131
The New Daily says: The strongest team in the competition can only be strengthened by the addition of an All-Australian key defender in Frawley, while O’Rourke is a former pick two who’ll help regenerate an ageing midfield weakened by the retirement of Brad Sewell.

MELBOURNE

Gained: Jeff Garlett (Carlton), Heritier Lumumba (Collingwood), Sam Frost (GWS)
Lost: James Frawley (Hawthorn, free agent), Mitch Clark (Geelong)
Draft picks: 2, 3, 40, 53, 83, 97, 115
The New Daily says: Lumumba, who came fourth in Collingwood’s best and fairest, will help shore up the Demons’ already adequate defence. Garlett should also fill the small forward vacancy if he pulls his head in, and 21-year-old Frost is a long-term signing to replace Frawley down back. Jack Trengove was tear jerker of the period, offered up like a second-hand car but found to have a broken axle.

NORTH MELBOURNE

Gained: Jarrad Waite (North Melbourne, free agent), Shaun Higgins (Western Bulldogs, free agent)
Lost: Levi Greenwood (Collingwood)
Draft picks: 13, 25, 36, 56, 74, 92. 110, 128
The New Daily says: After making a prelim this year, North are hoping a punt on notorious hot-head Waite and (up until this year) a brittle Higgins can take them one step further. Credit to them for having a crack.

PORT ADELAIDE

Gained: Paddy Ryder (Essendon)
Lost: –
Draft picks: 57, 75, 93, 111, 129
The New Daily says: Port were a kick away from a grand final last year with Matthew Lobbe toiling manfully on his own. Ryder is classy and could be the difference between heartbreak and premiership glory.

RICHMOND

Gained: –
Lost: –
Draft picks: 12, 33, 52, 70, 88, 106, 124
The New Daily says: Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Or something like that.

ST KILDA

Gained: –
Lost: Rhys Stanley (Geelong)
Draft picks: 1, 21, 22, 41, 78, 96, 114
The New Daily says: Lost the promising athlete Stanley, but held on to their ace of pick one. Use it wisely Saints – so often the first pick turns out to be trumped by those that come later.

SYDNEY

Gained: –
Lost: Nick Malceski (Gold Coast, free agent), Shane Biggs (Western Bulldogs)
Draft picks: 18, 37, 38, 58, 76, 94, 130
The New Daily says: If you ever needed any proof that the AFL is run by blokes from the John Coltrane school of making it up as you go along, look no further than their astonishing decision to ban the Swans from trading for – playing by the rules. Improvements will have to come from within for the Swans – thankfully, there’s plenty of talent up there from which to draw upon.

WEST COAST

Gained: –
Lost: –
Draft picks: 11, 32, 51, 69, 87, 105, 123
The New Daily says: All quiet on the western front.

WESTERN BULLDOGS

Gained: Tom Boyd (GWS), Shane Biggs (Sydney)
Lost: Shaun Higgins (North Melbourne, free agent), Ryan Griffen (GWS), Adam Cooney (Essendon), Liam Jones (Carlton)
Draft picks: 
The New Daily says: The Think Big Bulldogs. Not normally the centre of the AFL universe, the Scraggers spent a rare period in the limelight. After years of trying to land a big fish, they stared down GWS to land former No.1 pick Tom Boyd as compensation for Ryan Griffen’s sensational walkout. The club has been crying out for a big forward for years, and now they have one. But questions remain: who’ll coach him and who’ll get the footy to him now Shaun Higgins and Adam Cooney have left the kennel?
