I like your thinking . Not sure it gets ticked off by the AFL/other clubsSloane declares internally that his preference is Essendon (say).
How would we feel about a 2018 fifth round pick for Francis, and a 2019 first round pick for Orazio and a 2018 second?
Plus we "agree" not to match?
Instead of having to give up their first and second for Sloane, Essendon get Sloane and a 2018 first for Orazio, Francis and a 2017 second?
And instead of getting a first and a second for Sloane - we get a compo first, a second, Orazio and Francis for a first round pick and Sloane? That'd be five picks in the first 28, plus Dahlhaus and the Essendon signings?
