With all the moves of the 2023 AFL Trade Period done and dusted, we saw some big players change clubs. Some shock decisions alongside some deals that seemed to be done weeks ago were finalised ahead of Wednesday's deadline.
Nevertheless, teams have done what they can to build up their side in the hopes that 2024 might be the year that takes them a step closer to the ultimate glory of winning the flag.
But if we took all the players involved during this period, what is the best team that we could create out of those players?
Here we have named our best 23-man side consisting of players moved in the free agency and trade period.
4. Interchange
I/C: Tyler Brockman (WC), Zac Fisher (NM), Todd Goldstein (ES), Xavier Duursma (ES) SUB: Jack Billings (Mel)
Brockman was debated as a potential starter in a forward pocket but unfortunately the power already in the lineup means that he remains a backup on the bench. Fisher will also play a rotation through the midfield and can become a dangerous duo with someone, especially for his link-up work alongside Patrick Cripps. Goldstein will be the preferred backup, his ruck craft is sublime, however, his work around the ground means he comes off the bench. Duursma will also feature along half-forward and the wing. He can be a strong marking target and his scoring abilities are well-known. Billings just misses out on a spot in the 22, but the skill set of the player already listed edges him out.
