KEY tall Ben King's arrival at Gold Coast has capped a remarkable journey for pick six, a selection that travelled 11,319km post-season.

The 202cm swingman joins South Australians Jack Lukosius and Izak Rankine at the Suns after No.6 swapped hands six times during the NAB AFL Trade Period.

While brother Max stays home to play for St Kilda, Ben will travel to the Gold Coast on Sunday for a team BBQ before joining in pre-season on Monday morning.

The story of pick six led much of the discussion in post-season trade movements.

Starting with Fremantle, it was bundled to Port Adelaide in order for the Power to move up the draft order.

Not content with their standing, the Power handed it on to the Lions in return for pick No.5 in a deal that saw Sam Mayes return home to SA.

Within a matter of hours, Lachie Neale's trade to the Lions had seen No.6 go back to the Dockers before it was on-traded to Melbourne to secure Jesse Hogan.

The Demons wasted little time in moving it back north, this time to Gold Coast in a transaction that delivered Steven May and Kade Kolodjashnij.

The Suns will be hoping for a change in luck with the sixth selection, history suggests it has the lowest strike rate of any top 10 pick in history.

While Jaidyn Stephenson bucked the trend in 2018 by claiming the NAB AFL Rising Star, the No.6 picks has an average of 56 career games, down on the top 10 tally of 107.5.
