While the second day of the 2023 trade period didn't quite live up to the frenetic pace of Monday's action-packed proceedings, Tuesday still saw multiple done deals, as well as intriguing tidbits from around the league.

After the free agency window opened last Friday morning, the commencement of the exchange space followed suit on Monday, with multiple deals completed and more anticipated to be on the way in the coming days through until next Wednesday night.

On Tuesday, an in-demand Roo officially departed Arden Street for Tullamarine, while a contracted premiership Demon decided on his new home; culminating in the first player-trade of the off-season following multiple pick-swap deals.

Here's all the latest exchange news from the past 24 hours of trading festivities.

  1. Well, Nth Melb have a handful of first rounders to take to teh draft….

    All this means is there will be a handful of really good footballers up for grabs (cheap) when their first (forced) contract expires……

    The vfl just doesn’t get it.
    North’s problem is not it’s player list – it’s the club. it’s the Admin and governance.
    gift wrapping a pile of “assistance picks” and inflating the “compensation” for a key back leaving will NOT solve the problem.
