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.

Collingwood (2014)ย
In: Jack Crisp, pick 5 (Jordan De Goey) and Pick 25 (Daniel Nielson)ย
Out: Dayne Beams and pick 67 (Josh Watts)ย
Though not as one-sided as the Groom-McLeod trade, the mere fact that Beams found his way back to the Woods before the end of his career certainly adds lustre to this one in the eyes of the Pies.
With Crisp - sorry, 'Steak Knives' - now a perennial Copeland Trophy winner and De Goey blossoming into a genuine game-winner, the Pies are still well and truly reaping the rewards of this deal.
But what happened to Watts? Well, the Tasmanian is now kicking about for Wantirna South in Melbourne's Eastern Football Netball League after departing the den without a debut.
