Strategy Draft assistance 2023 [Twomey: NMFC get #19 in 2023, x2 end of 1st rd picks in 2024, and x2 extra rookie list spots in 2024; no Sanders/#11]

[Ashley B]

Not the worst outcome. We all wanted more but hopefully the club can utilise it to benefit us going forward

 

[Makeshift Park]

Why would it be 1 this year 2 next year? It should have been the opposite.

Because we can use one this year in the draft if we really want, but they'd prefer we used them for trading to other clubs?

 

[Mute Point]

Lets hope we dont trade them all for one player

WCE list manager on the phone to snoz as we speak proposing our pick 2, plus all our PP's (equivalent of pick 2) for Reid.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Im assuming the AFL can't 'review' the 2024 picks if they are traded???

 

[giantroo]

 

[Rod Stroker]

Prediction:
Other clubs uproar. AFL comes out and revises the agreement such that we can't use next years PPs this year.

 

[King Hansen]

Draft points wise, that's equivalent to pick 2 if it's the natural order.

 

[Devington]

Why won't we get value for them? If we trade them, the AFL cannot take them away from another club.

Because clubs will know we have to trade them or risk losing them. They don't have to go hard with their offers, and the picks aren't in a spot that will trigger a bidding war.

 

[DocSholl]

I struggle to get my head around what "review next year" actually means here. So if we win too many games next year the AFL will strip us of TWO first round picks? Isn't that encouraging us to lose? Don't they discourage tanking? What's the threshold to keep them?

My only answer is that they want us to trade them now so they don't have to deal with that.

I think the point is if we improve a lot next year then we don't really need two more picks.

It's designed to strengthen us this year without further diluting the draft order, which is fair enough. If we win 6-8 games next year then there's no justification for us to be getting more picks in 2024.

 

[Event Horizon]

You could guarantee we are trading those picks. We should be bullish about next year and expect to put us in a position to have them reviewed due to better performance.

I’m confused about the review part. What’s there to review if the picks have already been traded?

Better than expected.

We now get busy trading.

 

[ArchKing Carey]

Those end of first picks next year need to be traded. Even if we win 6-8 games next year it will be taken off us as we are moving in the right direction.

 

[Roostorm]

So trade away and get creative then….while we have them.

 

[Sphynx]

Trade 14, 19, F1 PP to GC for 4.

Trade F1 PP to someone on draft night for an end of R1 slider.

Take 2,3,5,21* to the draft this year.

McKercher, Curtin, Watson/O'Sullivan & Leake/Edwards

Retain our R1 & R2 2024 picks.

 

[DrZaius]

In AFL lingo it means use them now or lose them.

I reckon there's already a deal involving one of the future first that the AFL are counting on, and we will most likely keep the other until next trade period. It's more palatable letting us keep a single end of first (if we improve) than two.

 

[William Caresser]

You could guarantee we are trading those picks. We should be bullish about next year and expect to put us in a position to have them reviewed due to better performance.

Spot on. If we have a promising year next year - which could easily happen, the AFL will make those picks evaporate in a flash as other clubs whinge and whine.

 

[shintemaster]

At least the AFL statement regarding the F1 2024 picks allow us to use them this year...

The AFL reserves the right to review the 2024 draft selections at the end of next season, however the club will be able to use the picks in trades this year.

Encouragement to get cracking and improve asap for mine.

 

[Wild Bill]

As long as mcKay triggers band 1 its all good.

2, 3, 14 & 19 is a great draft hand - especially as it drops away after the 1st 25/30 picks.

Curtain, McKercher, Murphy, A Reid

Med Key back, Speed and elite kick, Tall Key back, Tall key forward.

 

[solidgoldhell]

Gee fair bit of sooking going on in here. We did this to ourselves remember? We now have 6 first round picks in 2 years. Plenty we can do with that! I think I actually rather this outcome to the previously rumoured pick 11 and single future end of first round.

Have to start moving those end of first round picks next year to improve this years hand.

Would WC accept pick 2, 19 and future 19 for Reid?

 

[Colby Cheer Squad]

Why would it be 1 this year 2 next year? It should have been the opposite.

Interesting isn't it? And most likely, not an accident. Maybe a combination of being able to strongly encourage us to trade two picks with the caveat of them being reviewed otherwise, along with the expert opinion that this year's draft isn't all that deep.

 

[Kanga Glory]

By giving Us two future picks for next year saying it will be reviewed but can be traded this year softens the perceived amount given this year. The afl know we will use them this year

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Ah nice.

Not great leverage to trade them if they can disappear.

 

[utility]

Garbage. Need to offload 2024 picks or they may disappear.

 

[GS WARRIORS]

They are R1 picks.

End of First Round.

Night 1.

That was also how GC's functioned.

GC end of First Round in 2021 was on night 2 shafting us traded to Freo with Brodie as a salary dump.

Have to start moving those end of first round picks never year to improve this years hand.

Would WC accept pick 2, 19 and future 19 for Reid?

Sorry to intrude but I would have thought the late 1st rounders would be given to Nth so you have the leverage to go after the Suns pick and get your man Sanders rather than chase Reid?
