We're less than a month away from the AFL's sign and trade period, and while we have five enticing matches still staged for the remainder of the 2022 season, plenty of attention is being drawn to anticipated off-season moves.
Several key figures in this year's exchange period have already nominated their ideal destinations for next season, while it seems new faces are emerging as potential trade options with each passing day.
Ahead of what is touted to be the busiest trade window in the league's history, we've narrowed the list of potential departures to 12 of the biggest names linked to new homes for 2023, assessing their value on the trade table and the likely packages that might get a deal over the line.
Here are the draft trade deals that could be pivotal to this off-season...
4. Blake Acres
Destination: Carlton
Like Grundy, it might be hard to assess Acres' exact trade value in the eyes of Fremantle given the Dockers may be open to letting their wingman leave.
The Blues are touted as the front-runners for the former Saint, who won't see a first-round selection cross the Nullabor in his place.
