THE AFLW Trade Period wrapped up for 2023 yesterday, with plenty of familiar faces changing clubs over the last 10 days.
If you missed anything that went down during the Trade Period, here is a recap of the entire period.
Mega Trade Number 1
The first trade of the entire period was a big one, and involved plenty of well known faces moving between Collingwood, North Melbourne and St Kilda.
Jaimee Lambert, Stephanie Chiocci and pick 31 in the upcoming Supplementary Draft went from Collingwood to St Kilda.
In return, Collingwood got Tarni White from St Kilda as well as both Grace Campbell and pick 15 from North Melbourne.
North Melbourne in return picked up Kate Shierlaw from the Saints.
Kodi Jacques
One trade that did not involve multiple way trades was that of former Tiger turned Bomber Kodi Jacques. The small forward was simply traded to Essendon in return for the Bombers’ second round selection in the upcoming Supplementary Draft (which is currently pick 27).
Mega Trade Number 2
The second mega trade of the 2023 Trade Period involved the Saints again, but this time it was Carlton and Richmond who were also involved.
St Kilda sent Caitlin Greiser to Richmond, the Blues sent Natalie Plane to St Kilda and Harriet Cordner got traded to Carlton. Richmond also sent its pick 14 to the Saints.
Maddy Brancatisano and Courtney Jones
In one of the simpler trades of the period, Richmond and Gold Coast swapped Maddy Brancatisano and Courtney Jones, with no picks needed to complete the trade.
Trade between Port and Geelong
The Power and Cats had a pretty simple trade, sending Kate Surman and pick 12 to the Cattery and Madeline Keryk to Alberton.
North and Hawthorn
The Kangaroos and Hawks also had a pretty simple trade, swapping Eliza Shannon and pick 40 for pick 33.
The mega trade of all mega trades
Arguably the biggest trade in AFLW history saw Gold Coast, St Kilda, Brisbane, Collingwood and North Melbourne all involved.
Here is what each of the clubs got in the deal.
Gold Coast – Pick 6, Jordan Membrey, Clara Fitzpatrick and Ella Maurer for Ellie Hampson and Serene Watson.
St Kilda – Jesse Wardlaw and Serene Watson for pick 6, pick 14, pick 31 and Clara Fitzpatrick.
Brisbane – Ellie Hampson and pick 40 for Jesse Wardlaw and Lucinda Pullar.
Collingwood – Pick 14 for Jordan Membrey.
North Melbourne – Pick 31 and Lucinda Pullar for pick 40 and Ella Maurer.

Carlton quick Brooke Walker has found a new home, heading off to Essendon in exchange for pick 9.
Amy Franklin
Fremantle youngster Amy Franklin will now call cross-state rival West Coast home, after she was traded to the Eagles in exchange for picks 3 and 21.
Molly Eastman
Molly Eastman is now a Tiger, with the former Swan returning to her home state in exchange for Richmond’s second round pick, which is currently 27.
Laura Gardiner
Laura Gardiner is now a Swan, after the former Cat was traded to the Harbor City for pick number one in the upcoming Supplementary Draft.
Sarah Goodwin and Jasmine Simmons
The two Adelaide clubs have swapped young star Sarah Goodwin for rookie Jasmine Simmons, with Adelaide’s Round One pick (currently number 16) and round two pick (pick 34) also heading to Alberton.
Jess Allan
Former Giant Jess Allan has been traded back to the Adelaide Crows, and will once again line up alongside sister Sarah in 2023.
In return GWS received pick 52.
Nell Morris-Dalton
One last final trade came close to the deadline, and it was now former Dog Nell Morris-Dalton being traded to Collingwood for the Round 1 pick it got from North Melbourne (currently number 15).
