With the conclusion of the trade period just a week ago, we've taken a look at the players that may have flown under the radar and will have a larger impact on their new team than most might expect.
From time to time, we see a player move to a new club and thrive under the conditions of their new environment. The opportunity to try out a new role, playstyle, and chemistry at their new home has often meant for several players that they can play more freely.
With that, we have named our top five players from the trade period who may go to new levels or help their sides reach new heights.
5. Jordon Sweet
Traded to Port Adelaide in exchange for Pick 50 from the Bulldogs.
The ruck position was something that Port Adelaide was chasing this off-season. It slowly became a weakness for the side, particularly in the finals.
While Sweet will be rivalling fellow recruit Ivan Soldo for the number one spot, his work off the ball in the VFL will help take the load off the Port forwards who had to previously come far up the ground to help the rest of the team.
With Sweet, they will be able to remain in their true position to better allow the forwards to set up.
Don't be surprised if he's Ken Hinkley' go-to man come Round 1 next year.
