Even before he starts his AFL career, pick No.28 in this year's national draft is a nomad.
The 28th selection passed through six clubs during the trade period as various deals were struck.
It's the outcome of exceptionally busy trade negotiations, fuelled by free agency and clubs now being able to use future draft picks.
No.28 started at Geelong, who sent it to Adelaide at the start of trade period in the deal that sent Patrick Dangerfield to the Cats.
It stayed at the Crows until Wednesday and then shot around like a pinball.
First, the Crows sent 28 to Carlton as part of the Troy Menzel deal.
Then it quickly went to GWS as the Blues recruited four Giants and a round-one selection.
No.28 ended Wednesday by going to Collingwood in the Adam Treloar deal.
After an overnight breather, it had a cross-town trip on Thursday to North Melbourne as part of the James Aish-Ryan Bastinac deal that also involved Brisbane.
So whoever North recruit with 28, five other clubs will watch his progress with more than passing interest.
