So although the player trade period has finished clubs are still able to trade picks and with all the talk in various threads over this rule and we have now finished the first 4 year cycle hopefully we all have an understanding of the rule and I will try to explain it as clearly as I can and if other posters have a better explanation please feel free to add
A club is required to take 2 1st rounders over a 4 year period or else they will be prevented from trading any future first rounders until they meet that criteria
So for example Hawthorn used 2 1st rounders in the 2015 draft therefore they could trade this years and if they wanted next years but when it comes to the 2019 draft period they would not be able to trade a 1st rounder until they have used 2
2015 2
2016 0
2017 0
2018 0
2019 1
2020 1
And for Collingwood As they have traded out there 2018/19 1st rounders they will not be able to trade out there 2020 unless they trade one in during the 2019 trade period

Geelong were prevented from trading the 2018 and 2019 1st rounders (If they wanted to) as they are in breach of the 2 in 4 rule

Apologies if factually incorrect
Anyone with a boring office job or a talent for spreadsheets who could crate one for all the clubs will get extra likes
