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.
West Coast Eagles
West Coast made multiple sneakily impressive moves bringing players into the club, acquiring off-contract pair Tyler Brockman and Matt Flynn from Hawthorn and GWS, respectively.
Flynn's arrival signals an upgrade in the ruck contest, while Brockman figures to join forces and wreak havoc alongside the likes of Liam Ryan and Jamie Cripps.
The Eagles should end up doing most of their damage at the upcoming National Draft, where they project to possess a slew of selections, particularly early on in proceedings, and especially if they ultimately deal the No. 1 overall pick.
How are they feeling? NEUTRAL.
