Thanks for link mate. Hopefully they got any bugs out of computer system in last 3 weeks if they are going to use it live on draft night.
You had me at "Pick 15 Hawthorn: - Clayton Oliver - Height: 187cm, Weight: 86kg, DOB: 22/07/1997 Recruited from: Murray Bushrangers, Draft Range: 10-25"
No thanks
Blues to bid on the two GWS and Brisbane Academy boys if available at 8/11 or 11/14!!A few things crop up in my mind as look at bidding system pdf file.
As follows:
Just out of curiosity our pick 19 is not really round one pick. So the 20% discount for using such a pack in any claim I assume would not apply and instead 197 discount for later round picks. However also what interests me is a pick like 18 now could be later than pick 18 if 4 players from northern states get claimed in new system. For example GWS, Sydney and Gold Coast match bids and become picks in top ten that do not exist at present. Then I assume pick 18 of right now becomes a real pick 22 in the draft and worth less. So Carlton's pick 19 in reality close to being player drafted at pick 23 in real time of draft. That is not a round one pick in past systems so a grey area for mine in terms of when discounts apply in this twilight zone of picks that are "Clayton's" round one picks.
I would expect Eddie McGuire to demand his club bid on Jack Silvagni in their present first pick of draft at current pick 27, if nothing else just to fuel his own love to hate us.
My current understanding of overall system starts with this:
Mills bid on by Dees at pick 3 in draft. However Swans match bid on live computer system to claim Mills.
Swans current 33, 36, 37 and 44 becomes actual pick 3 on computer system and pick also 54 in draft at that moment to claim back some extra points used in bidding points to claim him.
At that moment the whole draft order on live computer system changes to reflect this.
Swans original first pick 33 becomes actual pick 3 of draft for Mills. (it is paid for via the combination of values of original picks 33, 36, 37 and 44)
Collingwood original pick 27 becomes pick 28, shifted down one spot after Mills get shown as pick 3 in live draft on night. Carlton's original pick 59 becomes pick 56 in that moment. At that point in time Carlton intend that pick for Jack Silvagni and lovely Edward wants Collingwood to bid their first pick on Jack in this scenario no matter what happens. More players get claimed via bidding system such as Hopper, Kennedy and Hipwood I just read in an article before Collingwood's first pick in draft. By this stage lets assume when Collingwood get their first chance of night to make a bid their first pick is now called pick 31. At that moment it is worth 606 points in bidding system.
Carlton to match a bid need to pay with 409 points worth of picks taking into account the 197 discount applied. By this stage, Carlton's previously started picks 59 and 60 are 53 and picks 54. Worth 453 points combined. Calton match the mid for Jack and he would be shown as pick 31 in draft on night and Collingwood then have their pick 32.
Carlton needed to pay 409 points. They paid 453. This means they should get back the equivalent of 44 points in draft for their next pick which is round pick 70 of draft. So in that rough example Carlton original pick 59 and 60 become pick 31 and 70. All of course if Collingwood bid on Jack for hell of it with their first pick. As you can see there is very little satisfaction Edward could get from this. Some club would have to bid a lot earlier on Jack to make us use more than the current picks 59 and 60 we hold in the indicative draft order.
Of course it gets more complicated if we ourselves bid on one of the academy players or Bailey Rice before we get a chance to claim Jack Silvagni. Looking forward to commentators on night confusing everyone
