The 2022 trade period is open, with all 18 clubs set to continue their wheeling and dealings to both add and subtract from their list for next season.

In what shapes to be one of the most significant exchange periods in the league's history, we've looked to identify each club's top target for the off-season.

Here's your side's priority signing as the 10-day trade window opens...

5. Essendon

Jack Bowes

The Bombers aren't looming as the major off-season player we've come to expect from the Tullamarine club, however, they have been tied to the Suns' mouth-watering package of Jack Bowes and Pick 7.

While another top 10 pick will come with great interest to the Bombers, the addition of Bowes to Brad Scott's squad is sure to give the club some flexibility through their middle and back third.

Perhaps missing some height in their engine room, Essendon could look to call on Bowes as an onballer almost immediately, while a spot in their backline would see Bowes placed alongside the likes of Jordan Ridley, Mason Redman and Jayden Laverde to form a formidable rearguard that packs a punch.
