With the 2023 AFL season about to get underway, a possible 35 players will be running out in new colours after a busy 2022 trade period.

Let's have a look at some of the big name recruits who will be looking for strong seasons at their new clubs this year...

3. Brodie Grundy

Grundy was part of one of the more high-profile trades during the off-season, having only signed a seven-year contract with Collingwood in 2020.

However, after a knee injury kept him out of the side and the Pies reached a preliminary final without him, Grundy was traded to Melbourne in the off-season.

Grundy looms as a big threat to opposition teams this year, as he combines with No.1 ruckman Max Gawn, where they will no doubt combine to be a formidable pair.

Originally taken at pick no.18 in the 2012 AFL Draft, Grundy has been selected as an All-Australian twice and won the Pies' best and fairest twice off the back of career-best seasons in 2018 and 2019.

At his best, Grundy has been labelled a 'fourth midfielder,' averaging 21 disposals in 2019.
