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.
Gold Coast Suns
The Suns split Pick 4 into enough later selections and points for this year's draft while also adding two future first-round picks to their hand from North Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs.
Their draft hand is ready for several early rival bids for their Academy stars and is also strengthened for 2024.
They did part with trio Elijah Hollands, Chris Burgess and Mabior Chol which mostly broke even across the trio of transactions.
How are they feeling? HAPPY
