I get what you are saying, to a point. Both are in their prime, but only probably have half a dozen years left close to that level. Both won a BnF.Where did I say that?
IIRC you said that Heeney was worth 6 + 12, Rioli wasn't.
I just said I think Rioli is worth 6 + 12 with something coming back your way?
But their impact on a game is clearly different. Heeney was close to best player in the comp for half a season. Rioli was maybe in the best 50.
Part of that is positional. Halfbacks are valued as much as goal scoring, gaming breaking mids.
Rioli is a good player in a (currently) bad team playing a position that is important, but not as important as others. Halfbacks and defenders usually win BnFs in struggling teams (Collins, Sheezel, Rioli etc. as they are always near the ball).
TL;DR he isn’t worth close to what Heeney is worth.
Pick 6 is still overs (a mid first round would normally be fair) but most trades for “star” players use to top pick the club has to offer as a starting point. That’s just what is normally used.
Better to have them than not, I guess? Can continue trading forward into eternity (current drafts are always valued more highly by most clubs than the future).Thinking now 19 and 22 from the swans is prob better than Carlton’s future first and second Rd picks?
Say pick 15 and pick 35-40
But what do we do with pick 19 and 22 trade them again?
Or can trade them for players, if any are available.
