Can someone smart review this and tell me if it affects us live trading our pick once a pre-38 bid comes in for Ben?

My understanding is that this manoeuvre will no longer be allowed, but as long as you don't trade in the exact same pick something similar can be done. Please correct me if I am wrong any of you (many) (and much) more knowledgeable posters.

Yes you can’t trade the same pick back to the same club.
So, if a bid comes before 38, we can trade it out to avoid using it, and matching the bid with our later picks.
But we can’t trade back for 38, we’ll have to try to trade back in for another pick.
 
I’ve done another flip :eek:

I’ve started with the safety of Smith, then thought FOS ceiling is too high to skip… to now thinking that Draper is a definite on a need basis (assuming injury had been ticked off)

Speed to burn, hardness at contest & defensive mindset - he’s the midfielder that we are missing and would complement our team nicely.

Remember late 2023, we had a great run and our midfield was more balanced with Fogarty in the team. Now we can Draper that can do the same role, but at a few levels higher. A midfielder with both attacking & defensive intent will be so useful to the team from Day1.

Lock it in Austin

It looks like it will be Draper IF FOS is not available at pick 3

So the media is reporting the Kangas are heavily into Tauru for pick 2, while North supporters are saying there’s no chance they select Tauru and it’s FOS they are selecting with pick 2 ….

Interesting times ahead ….

Yes. They are either seriously delusional or the media are a mile off. I'd lean towards the former. Their board is going to blow up if they pick Tauru. 🤣

I never get how supporters can be so adamant about what their club will or won't do. I mean none of them know really. At least preface comments with "I think" or the "club should" or even "its likely".

They are adamant Tauru won't happen, with no strong intel aside from not wanting it to and every media person that reports otherwise is just making click-bait.

They're clearly taking Tauru. Where are they discussing it on the North Board? Is it because of a rumour or somehting'?

In their draft thread, their ITKs are saying it’s no chance it’s Tauru and FOS is who they are taking.

I personally think they will take Tauru with pick 2 and they will trade their future first to get another pick in this years first round to save face. They should be targeting Armstrong to partner with Larkey

There are gems at #38
This is a but of a misnomer as the draft at that point allowed each team to select one player a year earlier than they would otherwise be eligible. Fev was our underager.

Some other famous examples of clubs waiting towards the back of the draft are Goodes (43 in 1997) and Embley (57 in 1998). Inevitably it got to the point where most of the top 10 would be underage and that probably killed off the rule.

They're definitely going to take Tauru if they can. Maybe they think they can select FOS and then wait for Tauru to fall to Pick #7 and beyond and they may trade their 2025 pick into get him. So maybe if they're confident they can pull that off they go for FOS and trade back in. But it seems liek Tauru is their preferred selection.

I would love love love them to take FOS at Pick #2. Would be a dream scenario for us.

Dees will take Tauru and Armstrong with their 2 picks so I don’t think the Kangas can pull that off hoping he slides
