Henderson for future pick

[demondavey]

Carlton's selection compensation will come in the form of Geelong's first pick next year, dependent upon where they finish this year. Good outcome for Carlton? And what if Geelong trades that first pick next year? Can they do that? Interesting.

Geelong already traded their first pick next year for Henderson.

 

[Quivorir]

They did trade their first pick...To Carlton.

 

[falcons2]

Seems a win-win.
Geelong got their man and the 2016 draft is rumoured to go deep so even if Geelong are good in 2016 a teen pick should produce a good player provided Carlton get it right.

Yeah ! Imagine the draft picks there going to get when these draft picks play 100 games and request a trade

Youve won a pre season cup before and then a spoon, havent you?

A possible pick 1-4 (would prefer it to be higher) and what should be 15-18 next year sound good to me.

i'll take 100 games. your high draft picks request a trade before they even play a game.

preseason isn't offseason.

Carlton big winners here IMO... Geelong taking a risk. All the best to them if it pays off.

Good for us, can't see Cats making the 8, add to that Richmond giving us a first rounder for Yarran. So it looks like we'll have pick 1 (we'll get the spoon again). Pick 2 (compo pick for our successful tanking). Pick 8 and pick 12... Things are looking good for the Blues!

 

[Bluelegs]

The interesting thing about trading for future picks is it allows teams to essentially set up a 'throw away' year when they rebuild. Carlton could trade half a dozen of the players they decide aren't going to be required for their long term future and stockpile a massive number of early draft picks for next year. Then they would have a nothing year next year with little talent on their list they could potentially have a worse year than this year and the AFL might decide they deserve a priority pick off the back of that.

Basically the AFL are saying "if you want to tank, be smart about it."

top 5 pick for Henderson, Wow!!

our first round/year players struggle to get a game.... yours win the best and fairest

 

[McRobie]

18, before compensation picks.

Trading pick 7-10 for Henderson is just senseless, worth a pick int he 20's. Well done Geelong.

Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough for one day?

If Geelong wins the flag next year, why pick would that be?

 

[1990crow]

Cats will finish 6-10th next year. So pick should be between 9 and 13 which would be overs for Henderson. So a win for the Blues

 

[JohnnyFontane90]

19. but might as well be 200 because that's not gonna happen

Look out, we've got an expert.

Got any lotto numbers there champ?

It's basically going to be as high as 1 or as low as 18. But hypothetically, if Geelong's first pick in 2016 is pick 10, can they trade that in another deal or is that solely for Henderson?

I guess the only way to tell what he is worth is by how he performs next year. Geelong are just hoping he does not spud it, and I bet they've told him that in no uncertain terms - 'We've put out our first selection for so pull your weight and get back to your 2013 form'.
