While some trades look like roadkill in hindsight, if you alter your lens to look from the other end, these same deals have the ability to look like a 12-course banquet.
Beauty, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder.
After covering off your team's worst ever trades last week, we've turned our frowns upside down this week to shine a light on their best and brightest wheels and deals.

North Melbourne (2000)
In: Pick 23 (Drew Petrie)
Out: Evan Hewitt
Though the Roos would land Daniel Wells in a deal that saw Wayne Carey leave Arden Street in acrimony, this particular trade was all win, no loss.
Petrie would eventually leave the Roos' huddle after 316 games, 428 goals, five goalkicking gongs and an All-Australian blazer, while Hewitt's career would close at the cessation of 2002, with the fellow forward managing just 28 goals from 48 starts.
