With trade week on at the moment I have done sides on players that were drafted and traded to a club but never played a game there. This week’s side is based on players that were drafted/traded to a club after playing an AFL game but did not play a game for that club.

 

The draft started in 1986 however there was an interstate draft held in 1981 and 1982.
