THESE weren't necessarily the players who left you gushing about your team's 2019 hopes after last year's NAB AFL Trade Period.
Yet, in hindsight, you probably should have been.
The likes of Dylan Shiel, Lachie Neale and Chad Wingard dominated discussion and came at a high cost for their new clubs, whereas Jordan Roughead, Jasper Pittard and Linc McCarthy were (in some ways) afterthoughts.
AFL.com.au has ranked the top 10 bargains from the 2018 trade table, judging them purely on this season's output.
2. Sam Lloyd
Western Bulldogs, via Richmond
Key stats: 19 games, 15.6 disposals, 5.3 marks, 1.9 marks inside 50, 1.7 goals
Has a case to be the best trade bargain. Was a fringe player for most of his five seasons at the Tigers despite outstanding VFL form, and understandably went searching for greater opportunity last year. The Dogs handed over pick No.64 for him, which seemed fair at the time, but now looks a terrific deal for Luke Beveridge's side. Lloyd is the Dogs' leading goalkicker, with 32 from 19 games.
