It happens every season, players get traded for nothing or let go by clubs who deemed them unworthy of a spot on their list, only for them to turn their careers around or fire in a new environment.

For the purposes of this exercise, we're talking exclusively about players who were delisted or basically pushed out of their clubs, so big names like Joe Daniher don't apply here given the Dons would have gladly kept him.

We take a look at a handful of players who are showing their old clubs just what they're missing out on!

6. Adam Treloar

This one probably goes without saying but after forcing Treloar out, the Magpies season didn't quite go according to plan.

Admittedly, the Pies were desperate to clear salary cap space, however making Treloar, a player they traded two first-round picks for, the scapegoat seemed extremely harsh.

Before being injured midway through the year, Treloar was flying for the Doggies, averaging 25 disposals, 4.4 tackles and 4.8 inside 50's per game.

With a young Pies list struggling, it's really not a stretch to think they'd love to have Treloar back.
