We rate every club’s trade and free agency period – and rank the teams from best to worst – as the draft picture takes shape.
We have graded every AFL club’s performance throughout the free agency and trade period, factoring in that some clubs are firmly in win-now mode, whereas others are focused on their draft hand and their long-term future …James Jordon , Joel Hamling , Brodie Grundy , Taylor Adams , pick 45 and future end-of-first-round pick .Get in, get out. Did anyone do it better than Sydney? The Swans’ business was complete a whole week before the trade deadline, which is a credit to Kinnear Beatson and co.
There was nothing spectacular about what the Demons did, but the last-day Billings addition adds depth after losing some of it with Jordon, Harmes and Grundy departing. Melbourne hope Fullarton can be more effective as a forward than Grundy was, in a way that could allow the ex-Lion to play in the same side as Max Gawn. McAdam is a talented forward and how he fits in the Dees’ at-times dysfunctional attack will be a storyline to follow.
