Traded Pick swap: Brisbane trade #20 to Richmond for #32, #42, #43 & #45

Richmond get a good pick in a draft that is reportedly strong and even throughout the first round and Brisbane get more points for bid matching. Win win (even though I think the point scale needs adjusting).

 

[Footy Smarts]

Always looked likely to happen.

Once again the points system comes up trumps. Brisbane able to turn pick 20 (912 points) into the equivalent of a pick between 6 and 7 (1704 points).

With just their picks 20 and 60 Brisbane have now got enough to match a bid at pick 3 once the discount is applied.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Ah, I love rorting the system. Thanks Richmond, and enjoy your pick!

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Glad the pick swap made some of the nutty points swaps a lot of Richmond supporters thought they could do were made to look silly.

 

[HeHateMe]

For this to happen now I think Richmond need this pick for other deals

Possible.

Other alternative is we know we won't take those deeper picks in this draft as we're confident to get some earlier picks and probably only end up taking 5 or 6 kids rather than 7 or 8.

We'll find out in the next few days.

Yeah but you can trade picks right upto the draft it's one that could have waited till then if they wanted too. Wait and see I guess.

Yeh who knows, hopefully there's some movement today and it doesn't drag til Monday, maybe this deal opens some others

Incredibly smart to do this first for Brisbane, they can now gain points from pick swaps for Sharp/Robertson instead of extra picks that they don’t have list spots for.

Instead of Sharp to Melbourne for 40 (429 points) they can do:

Out: Sharp, 32, 45, 73
In: 28, 40, 49 (453 points surplus to BL)

That trade is equivalent to Sharp for 39

Richmond better bid at 1.

No chance now, this was their handshake agreement for sure

That's the problem.

Pretty funny how clubs need to trade further out to draft a highly rated kid.

Pick 20 is a great get for Richmond in this draft.

Basically suggestions they can trade for almost even points with a wink wink not to bid, or just a minor points deficit. Living in lalaland not realising the actual points cost of these moves

 

[Orange Agent]

The points discount needs to go.

 

[fargothegreat]

The points discount needs to go.

I think its reduced next year. Maybe from 20% to 10%?

Not me, knew these picks were junk. However, did we have to give them all the ones with some value? Surely we could have saved one to try and bundle up with something else.

 

[Tasmanian saint]

They will package 20 with either 24 or another pick that comes in to move up the order they want multiple top ten picks

Saw a few wanting our future first included too, but not many.

At the end of the day while Richmond were always the likely and best trading partner, if the tiges pushed too much other teams would trade points, and tiges could have been left with a bunch of picks they couldn't use.

 

[SL16]

Glad this is out the way this week. Got the next 5 days to find the key fwd.

It is a lot tbf, like these normally have a 30%-50% point loading and this is very close to the max. I think it highlights the value of top 20 picks this year

 

[Elixuh]

Lovely doing business with you Richmond. Thank you for all the picks. And when I say all the picks you really did give us all the picks.

Love a good point scramble!

There is something else brewing for this deal to happen.

Giving away 792pts when you aren't trying to get points for a father-son or academy kid involving a 20% discount (which is next year is 10%) doesn't make any sense as a single deal.
