SOME clubs have been busy with transfers over the pre-season.

A look at who has transferred in and out of each of the AFL North Coast’s senior competition makes for some interesting reading.

Players have come into the region from far and wide and will no doubt add to the depth of football in the region.

The men’s competition has seen the majority of movement over the summer period (the list does not include players graduating from the Under 18s).
