Collingwood defender Tom Langdon has signed a new three-year AFL contract with the Magpies after spurning the advances of rival clubs.
The Pies have had a quiet trade period with one day to go, but had a win when Langdon turned down tempting offers from Fremantle and Sydney.
The Dockers, where Langdon's brother Ed has played 46 games in four seasons, and the Swans showed interest after Collingwood were slow to re-sign the 24-year-old, who enjoyed an excellent finals series.
Langdon was one of seven re-signings the club announced on Tuesday.
The beaten grand finalists have also secured Lynden Dunn for one year, Darcy Moore (two), Tim Broomhead (one), Jamie Elliott (one), Josh Thomas (three) and rookie Flynn Appleby (two).
Broomhead will be delisted and put on the rookie list as he continues to recover from the broken leg he suffered in round two.
"This is a squad that is still discovering how good it can be, a squad that is still to ripen," list manager Ned Guy said.
"For a majority of the players on our list, the prime years of their careers are out there in front of them.
"A lot of work over a number of years went into piecing the squad together and if you combine the profile of the list, the improvement we witnessed this year and the improvement to come, then keeping largely with what we have and adding to it through select trading and drafting is prudent."
The Pies lost fringe small forward Alex Fasolo in free agency after he agreed to join rivals Carlton.
