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...
9. Junior Rioli
Destination: Port Adelaide
An interesting read on how highly the Eagles rate Rioli. He didn't have the most dazzling campaign that we've seen from the small forward in the past, but perhaps that can be expected after a 700-day spell between games.
What won't help the Power are the frustrations West Coast will be feeling should Rioli formally request a move away after from the club that stood by him through his anti-doping ban.
A second-round selection is perhaps a fitting value for Rioli, but with the Eagles likely wanting a little extra the compensation selection Port Adelaide will receive for the departure of unrestricted free agent Karl Amon might be in their sights.

While the exact bracket of compensation is yet to be confirmed, the Power could be handed a pick at the end of the first round at this year's draft should Hawthorn hand the wingman a lucrative enough deal.
Likely to slide past Pick 20, the compensation selection might just be where the Eagles lay their attention in trade discussions.
