Roar deal reviewing the draft is up featuring Steve Conole, Dom Ambrogio, Noble and Andrew Crowell. Really good stuff.
One interesting thing Dom discussed was the restrictions on live trading - including one that I wasn’t aware of where you can’t trade a pick back to someone you received it from.
So for eg the picks we got from Port in the Sam Mayes/pick swap we couldn’t trade to them to move up the order (I think it ended up being pick 40 and freos future third that couldn’t be traded to them). However we would have been able to include freos future third in a trade with freo as it had passed through port (but what became pick 36 couldn’t as we got it from freo).
This does explain why west coast and Sydney’s controversial swap involved multiple picks being traded, rather than the exact same ones. It also means that the risk of such trades is a bit less than I thought - it requires a particular set of circumstances where the clubs have enough picks to do it and can also make trades work with future picks.
