The Western Bulldogs have played their cards perfectly in a final frenzy ahead of the trade deadline, bagging Adam Treloar and retaining Josh Dunkley in a bold late play.
Treloar was traded to the Dogs with pick 26, 33 and 42 for the Dogs' 14th pick and a future second-round pick.
It's a huge get for the 2016 premiers who have upped their AFL stock with a bolstered midfield ahead of 2021.

The Pies also traded Tom Phillips to Hawthorn for pick 65.
"On behalf of Collingwood I would like to thank Adam for his service. He was a committed and strong performer for us and we wish him well," Magpies list manager Ned Guy said.
"For some time we have held the view that this year's draft represents an excellent opportunity to address some of our needs. We think in the short term we can improve from within but we can also now strengthen the profile of our list for the medium and longer term. This deal improves significantly our ability to do that.
"With the draft assets we now have, we also have the ability over the next couple of weeks to explore ways of improving our draft position further."
