2007 was the first year that clubs were allowed to trade picks without the trade involving a player.

The trade week was headlined by the desire of West Coast premiership captain Chris Judd to return to Victoria, after six years with the club having been drafted to the Eagles in 2001.{{cite news|url= http://newsstore.fairfax.com.au/apps/viewDocument.ac?page=1&sy=nstore&kw=judd&pb=all_ffx&dt=enterRange&dr=1month&sd=01%2F09%2F2007&ed=25%2F09%2F2007&so=relevance&sf=text&sf=headline&rc=100&rm=200&sp=adv&clsPage=1&docID=AGE070918MQ6E16M606E |title= He went, he saw, he conquered.

In the weeks following the announcement of his departure, Judd met with four clubs: Essendon, Melbourne, Collingwood and Carlton.{{cite news|url=http://realfooty.com.au/news/news/judd-rules-out-dons-demons/2007/10/01/1191091001818.html

|title=Judd decides against Dons, Demons|publisher=Fairfax|date=1 October 2007}} On 2 October 2007, Judd announced that his preferred club was Carlton, and Carlton was also considered most likely to secure a trade with West Coast, because the club held two early draft picks which could be used in negotiations.{{cite news |url=http://www.afl.com.au/Default.aspx?tabid=208&newsId=52036 |title=Judd chooses Blues |publisher=AAP |date=2 October 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071112153550/http://www.afl.com.au/Default.aspx?tabid=208&newsId=52036 |archive-date=12 November 2007}} On 11 October 2007, Judd was officially traded to Carlton along with a third round selection in the 2007 AFL Draft (No. 46 overall) for Carlton's first and second round selections (No. 3 and 20) and Josh Kennedy, who was reluctant to leave Carlton.The Australia (2010).
