This year's free agency and trade period is officially closed following an October window that saw a multitude of players and draft assets change hands, and with that, premiership intentions for next season.

While the off-season's strongly mooted moves, such as Brodie Grundy's Sydney swap and Shane McAdam's Melbourne transition, came to fruition, we also saw some unexpected exchanges lodged at AFL House; including Taylor Adams' shock relocation to the Harbour City and Lachie Schultz's surprising Collingwood switch.

While there was some doubt over Essendon and Port Adelaide's ability to complete their considerable amount of business, they did just that, as Brandon Zerk-Thatcher and Xavier Duursma swapped allegiances on the final day of dealing.

However, while we were witness to a bevy of deals across the competition, there were some deals that didn't quite get over the line, including Elliott Himmelberg's eagerness to get to GWS to join forces with his brother; established defender Harrison.

In any case, what's done is done, and now we're left to review all that went down.

Instead of undergoing the mundane process of labelling each team's off-season with a letter grade, we assessed how happy every club is on a scale of 'very happy' through to 'very unhappy' after October's festivities.

North Melbourne

The Roos were winners as soon as Pick 3 was confirmed as compensation for free agent Ben McKay, who departed to Essendon early in the piece.

The Roos also lost Todd Goldstein but added height in the form of Bigoa Nyuon and Tpby Pink.

Dylan Stephens and Zac Fisher also landed at Arden Street in good moves for the Roos, who will carry five first-round picks into this year's draft.

How are they feeling? VERY HAPPY
