But st Kilda gained pick 27 which became 28 after the trade.Those picks were used for points to match bids for Reid and Rogers. Try again.
Looking at the spreadsheet above, wouldn't essendon's, Brisbane's picks disappear when matching? Or at least some of them? Suns have 3 picks before ours.Think you’re underestimating the bids for Kako and Marshall tbh. Essendon traded pick 9 because they’re expecting a bid earlier than that and Marshall at 20 would be a ridiculous steal. I don’t think Vic clubs would let Brisbane get away without paying full whack given the ire surrounding the northern academies now.
You’re completely missing the point, which is that none of the clubs who need points except maybe Brisbane, are short on them now. That aside, the only 2 clubs that need points who have picks in the 20’s are Brisbane and Essendon. There are other clubs who have picks that will yeild more points than we have, and our picks aren’t going to move up the order until their bids are done anyway so it makes no sense for them to trade with us.But st Kilda gained pick 27 which became 28 after the trade.
No pressureUrquhart? Isn’t he the bloke who’s better than Pendles
You need to understand the context of that trade.In 2023 afl draft, st Kilda made a live trade with gold coast,
St kilda got - pick 27
GC got - pick 40 and 42
so this is a clear possibility for collingwood, especially once our picks come into the 40's. Anyone who rubbishes such a possibility can read it and weep.
All of Brisbanes should, and I think they’ll probably end up splitting 27 for a pick in the 30’s and one in the 40’s from either the dogs, port or StKilda so that would be 4 picks coming back in.Looking at the spreadsheet above, wouldn't essendon's, Brisbane's picks disappear when matching?

You are assuming that teams know exactly where and when the bids are going to come. Last years live trading shows that teams can misjudge the no of points they need. It can and probably will happen in this years draft, as it has happened in previous drafts.You’re completely missing the point, which is that none of the clubs who need points except maybe Brisbane, are short on them now.

This theory of yours sounds wonderful but as soon as any basic logic is applied to it, it falls over.
Read sr36 ’s pot regarding GC’s “pick scramble” last year. It was planned they didn’t misjudge anything, in fact they played it absolutely perfectly.You are assuming that teams know exactly where and when the bids are going to come. Last years live trading shows that teams can misjudge the no of points they need. It can and probably will happen in this years draft, as it has happened in previous drafts.
This isnt a theory, it is based on probability that one of the teams will be left scrambling for points as they had to deal with an earlier than expected bid.
Would be extremely foolish and idiotic to think that clubs don’t play mind games with teams that have to match bids.
I used that example to talk about the value required to move two picks in the 40's to get up to a pick in the low 20's. Wasn't talking about the context if the trade. Yes there are two scenarios in which a team trades down - acquire more picks to pick more players or trading down to get more points. My example was merely referring to a trade value in general rather than the context of the trade.You need to understand the context of that trade.
GC had 5 players to match. You can only take in as many picks as you have list spots. So they had to take pretty good picks in to match with. Once they matched their first player, they had more list spots than picks, so they were able to trade picks down to increase their matching points
They went into that draft planning to trade down for matching points. They weren't doing it to have an extra pick.
No one appears to be in that situation this year
The value is related to the context. No one is doing that trade for picks, they're only doing that trade for matching points.I used that example to talk about the value required to move two picks in the 40's to get up to a pick in the low 20's.

Unless I was matching points wrong, getting discounts wrong or getting anything else wrong, the theory that our picks will "come in with bids" appears to be a bit of a myth.
Other than trading up - say packaging 3 picks into 2, or 2 into 1 - or bids coming earlier than expected... I did a very quick phantom today (not taking into account tema list needs etc) and we ended up selecting at 51 and 54.

Wonder what Gav is up to these daysUrquhart? Isn’t he the bloke who’s better than Pendles
Old mate also has Mraz at 58, personally find Nicholls awkward and one dimensional.Dont mind this if we take 2, but I feel like given our need for more mids or another small forward now richards is gone and jamie doesn't have long left. I feel like we'll use all three.
You would think if Mraz is anywhere near our picks, we'll take him; given we had a good look at him during preseason.Old mate also has Mraz at 58, personally find Nicholls awkward and one dimensional.
And just going by Nicholls highlights, he is a terrible kick for goalOld mate also has Mraz at 58, personally find Nicholls awkward and one dimensional.
We would have to hope the unusual depth of this draft and very even from 30 - 60 might prompt one club to prefer 2 later picks hoping they would still get the players they wantYou need to understand the context of that trade.

Moving up a few picks is a possibility. We'll probably make offers if it's getting close to our pick and there's a bloke left we rate well above the rest. But we're not going to be able to move up 20 picks - we just don't have the chips to do that - or any club in the situation where they'd trade to us for points.We would have to hope the unusual depth of this draft and very even from 30 - 60 might prompt one club to prefer 2 later picks hoping they would still get the players they want
I doubt anyone is going to trade a future 3rd for a pick in the 50s. At that point they'd probably just back themselves to get whoever at the point in the draft that teams start passing anyway.Not following this thread too closely so forgive if this has been asked.
Assuming we have three vacancies and likely only take two picks to the draft.
One option is obviously trading two picks in the 50s to move up a few spots ( maybe 5-6, exoecting a massive move up 20 spots is nonsense). Any gain up the order is better than burning the pick with a pass.
But would another option be trading one of these picks for a F3 ?
I think Brisbane would. They still need more points to match Marshall after matching AshcroftI doubt anyone is going to trade a future 3rd for a pick in the 50s. At that point they'd probably just back themselves to get whoever at the point in the draft that teams start passing anyway.
