AFL trade period: Chaotic finish as clubs run wild

The AFL Trade Period has drawn to a close with pure anarchy unfolding in the dying minutes as teams swung for the fences.

The AFL Trade Period deadline was 7:30pm (AEDT) and teams used up every last second as the deals came in thick and fast right before the cut-off.

As the final day of the Trade Period got underway a host of big name stars remained on the table hoping to find new homes for 2023 and beyond.

In the dying moments there were more trades than the eyes could see as players were dealt left right and centre.

Josh Dunkley ended up as a Lion, Tom Mitchell became a Magpie, Lachie Hunter is a Demon and Rory Lobb is now a Bulldog.

The Western Bulldogs were the most active team in the final moments, sending out midfielders Dunkley and Hunter while nabbing Lobb from Fremantle.

Hawthorn's clear out was complete with Mitchell and Jaeger O'Meara being dealt away with O'Meara ultimately being sent back to Western Australia and joining the Dockers.

Earlier in the week premiers Geelong pulled off one of the most lopsided trades in history, securing Gold Coast Suns player and former top 10 draft pick Jack Bowes along with the seventh pick in the draft. They finished their Trade Period off by snatching Collingwood youngster Ollie Henry.
