Would imagine basically like thisDoes anyone understand how pick purchasing might work? Would clubs purchase picks out of their cap allowance? If so, why would another club agree to sell given they (presumably) can't just roll the cash they get into their own cap (or can they?). If they rolled it into internal revenue then wouldn't the AFL just cut the allowance the club receives the following year on the basis that they had received a windfall for the sold pick?
And how does it work for clubs like us, the Tiges, Pies and Eagles, given we receive minimum money for the AFL? I guess we would be bidding for picks against clubs using money they got from the AFL that we didn't?! If the Roos out bid us for a pick using the extra money they get from the AFL I'd be pretty p*ssed off!
Anyone actually know how these schemes work?
Dees have pick 22 and are tight on the cap .
We offer $600k of cap relief for the pick . They accept and thats the trade .
Obviously thats basic and it could be more complex but would be the premise .
Would allow a club like us with huge cap space to bolster our draft hand and accelerate a rebuild .
