As each side makes their preparations for the upcoming trade period, we have taken a look at how each club stacks up in talent, age and experience to see how close they are to contending for a flag.
See how we've marked every club's premiership window.
St Kilda
The Saints are still a long way away from contending, but with many names linked to Moorabbin and Pick No. 6 in hand, the club can take a big step forward this off-season. Head coach Brett Ratten, who took over in mid-season, will have the task of finally finishing St Kilda's rebuild, which has left the club without finals since 2011.
Ratten will have an impressive young group of players to develop, with Jack Billings, Jade Gresham and Rowan Marshall showing signs of brilliance this year. However, flashes of brilliance aren't enough to win premierships and the Saints still lack any elite superstars which can lead a club back up from the depths.
St Kilda have the potential to return to the big dance, but it will take many more games of experience and many more wins before it eventuates.
Verdict:ย Closed shut
