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...
7. Tim Tarantoย
Destination: Richmond
As mentioned above, the Giants' demands for Taranto are sure to impact those of Hopper, with just how differently they rate the pair yet to be seen.
Pick 19 is rated as highly as a first-round pick, with the power of starting the second night of the National Draft a key pillar in the draft process. Add in Richmond's future first-round selection and the Giant will hold two very handy picks in return for the services of Taranto.
While not exactly matching the pair of first-round picks the Giants are understood to be keen on for Taranto, the deal is likely to please Jason McCartney and his men should they also see Hopper head to Punt Road for the aforementioned selections.
