Pick Swap Completed

[Waspy79]

Last time we had three first round picks it worked out pretty well

You cant make calls like that after one season.

Who do you want with Ports picks MP?

Do you see merit in a 16 and 18 for 10 and 22?
Or keep the status quo

With the AFL attaching point values to picks, but being the AFL only going half way and not ditching picks altogether, is clubs doing these sorts of trades that stuff up everyone else. I've put up my suggestions on how to do it several times of ditching picks for clubs getting points based on ladder finish. Then can trade points from current and next year for trades. It removes the unknown of what you'll get. If we'd traded out 1000 points to Brisbane next year for instance instead of a pick swap, it wouldn't matter if we'd finish 1st or 18th, that's the price paid. There's other advantages as well, but in the main the AFL needs to bite the bullet and ditch picks for points full stop. Stuff it if it's harder to explain in 20 seconds to punters.

How does this work then, does it become an auction type system? Who decides which player is auctioned off first?

I'm genuinely curious, I don't really rate the draft in it's current format either.

Moved Thread - The AFL should allow teams to trade points instead of picks

The AFL developed a draft points system for the purpose of working out what a team should pay for academy and father-son prospects. But there is no reason why this system cannot be extended to the trade period. Instead of complex multi-club trades involving players, draft pick exchanges, and...

So many leaks must be happening for GWS to know a bid on Green was expected at pick 5. It’s quite farcical.

The entire top 10 is more or less known a few days prior, these guys all chat.

I think I can make that call because I just did. It just isn't a strong statistical argument.

Who do I want, yeah I have seen very little of this years group but would love Serong, Stephens, Sharp then Mead. I would also like to get Taheny but not sure how we can do that.

I see no merit in the 10 and 22.

Everyone judging this deal is still looking at the an unfinished result. We're most likely doing this to move up the draft further.

We'll do more pick swaps yet.

Why bother in a supposedly even draft from 6,7 on.

 

[Incarnate]

I get anxious about the fact we traded away our 2020 first rounder but it is a pretty ****ing impressive two step shuffle I think. Apart from holding a couple sweet spots if all cards lay right and a chance we can pick up an absolute slider plus mead, we are rolling into draft day with serious collateral to entice clubs for last minute pick swaps. It’s a strong hand to hold.

Last year was so different! We had a pick well inside the top 10- with the potential of drafting 1 of Smith, King, Rozee, Caldwell. I just don't see the same talent level when it comes to us at pick 12. Good on us for getting 3 first round picks but I don't feel anywhere near as excited as last years draft.

The positive is we only gave up one decent player this year to get those picks. Last year we sold the farm so had to nail the draft.

Good point.
My post still stands though. Last year the potential to landing someone like King or Rozee or Rankine had me a lot more excited.

I'm trying to look on the bright side of things - if we finish in bottom 3 or 4, we would be missing out on an early draft pick.....but Ken being gone (hopefully!!) more than makes up for this I think.

 

[gbear]

I am still more concerned about the fact this current coach may get re-signed if we scrape in to 8th and lose first week of finals for another 3 years of wasting any talent we do happen to have on the list.

If port was not so financially strapped Ken would have been gone this year. Regardless of us making finals next year, it is my firm belief thatKen will not receive any further contract extensions beyond 2021. Port has been seriously burned by the actions of extending his contract back in 2017, they simply can not afford the financial ramifications.

 

[KenGaveUsWhatHeDeserved]

Misread it back to front and thought are THEY drunk, giving up a pick 12-15

Then realised it is OUR top draft pick.

The shit giggles keep coming

 

[KenGaveUsWhatHeDeserved]

The first round abomination swap aside, it also means we gave them pick 29 this year to receive picks 52 and 55 this year

There are no words.

But we knew we were run by amatuers who are cash cropping the future of the club for their own survival right now

Its the second round they don’t like which is fair enough

This allows Hawthorn to trade their 2020 first for a 2019 first. (another club not valuing picks in 2020 first round)

Richmond’s 19. They just want to get ahead of a bid for Maginness.

How?

 

[Janus]

How?

Hawthorn traded out their 2020 second. Since they’ve now replaced it with North’s 2020 second, they can trade out their 2020 first.

Hawthorn facing draft snag as it looks to trade future first-round pick

There is an AFL rule that is making things a little tricky for the Hawks as they consider drafting a father-son prospect

www.afl.com.au

However, it faces a battle to land the selection because, under AFL rules, to trade out a future first-round selection it must retain its other picks in that draft.

The Hawks traded their 2020 second-round selection during the exchange period, so would need to replace that to be allowed to move their future first-round pick.

The hawks want to get another first this year (trade out next years first) to do that they needed that 2020 second rounder as they had already traded theirs out.

I was really devo when Caldwell was snapped up just before our second pick. Butters was a good substitute though!
