Gold Coast will be rooting for the demise of both Collingwood and Port Adelaide following last year's mega trade that saw five players swap clubs.
The Suns acquired a first-round selection from the Pies and Power, handing over Jack Lukosius and Rory Atkins to the latter for John Noble (in essence).
Collingwood was steadfast on landing Dan Houston which Port Adelaide surprisingly let occur, hence the addition of their 2025 first-round pick.
The same can be said for West Coast, who saw premiership defender Tom Barrass head east to Hawthorn for a raft of selections, including one in the first round.
A part of that deal saw the Eagles acquire second and third-round selections, meaning a fall from grace for the 'Hollywood Hawks' would benefit the rebuilding club.
As the Eagles hope Hawthorn dwindles from their historic rise in 2024, Sam Mitchell and his club will root for Carlton to dip significantly, holding a first and second-round pick from the Blues.
Essendon swapped out its 2024 first-round pick for a future one to ensure the arrival of NGA talent Isaac Kako, resulting in Melbourne sending this year's prized selection.
The Bombers are hoping that the Demons' steady decline from their 2021 premiership continues, despite Simon Goodwin cashing in on two highly-touted youngsters in the name of Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay.
Elsewhere, Adelaide's lewd trading that saw Melbourne forward Alex Neal-Bullen and GWS midfielder James Peatling walk into West Lakes has given the club a pair of third-round selections and a fourth-round pick.
The array of picks could come in handy to help rise up the order come the 2025 National Draft, pending a low finish from the Demons and Giants.
