Remember when Paul Seedsman won the Anzac Medal for Collingwood in 2015, only to be traded nine games later?

His first two seasons at the Crows had been flakey at best, set back by injury and form, only to find himself in a Grand Final at the end of 2017.

Approaching year three out of contract, Seedsman started the season on fire, averaging 26 disposals in the first seven matches.

In a side desperately craving speed, his outside ball movement earned him a fresh three-year deal.
