Who is going to trade us a 26 1st round pick for a Tassie year pick (unless Tassie falls though of course)?
I don't think they will this year because teams don't know the compensation picks Tasi are going to receive. But once that becomes clear teams might do it. And we can even trade multiple picks for a single first rounder if needed.

Just looking at draft points (and assuming the discount gets scrapped) to match a bid at pick 3 you need roughly 12 and 14. I think it's doable. If he goes pick 1 it becomes more difficult but teams don't normally bid at Pick 1.

There are so many easy solutions to the problem. The AFL have already put in fixes that should help significantly. If thats not enough:
  • can't match a player with more than 2 picks
  • if it's a top 5 player, need to match with a pick within 5 of where they are taken, dropping down to within 10 picks by pick 20, then just points after that.

Either or both of those solutions will significantly help and force teams to trade for real capital if they've a player at the pointy end.
Who do I speak to about my commission?
 
Yes, one of them being pick 2 if he goes 1.
How often does pick 2 get traded?
It says "as an example" so I thought Cal was just giving a situation which could work. Are you saying you have to use the pick following wherever the bid comes plus something else? If so that would make it far more difficult

I'm saying it's going to be bloody hard to match for Cody if you can only use 2 picks.
 
It's not really common sense doing a truckload of work to introduce new rules, and them changing them before anyone gets to see how they actually work.
Yep, many predicted what was going to happen... make statements about a lock out, then only implement something less drastic, and look how its worked, pencil case in point seems happy and that this is common sense. Which I imagine is how AFL wanted people to feel.

Yeah, nah... easy manipulation to make the decision seem like the best choice by making all the options much much worse.

THANK YOU AFL YOU ARE SO GREAT AND WISE, THANK YOU FOR CODY!!! /s

Always great to be a Club that manages stumble into these rule changes after other teams get the advantage. I actually agree, the rules were terrible and needed to be addressed, just sucks we seem to be a team that manages to stub our little toe on the edge of these rules time and again.

2006 Priority picks removed, well done to the Pies getting Pendlebury and Thomas with that rule the year before... by tanking
2012 the AFL scrapped automatic thresholds and made it discretionary, thankfully we were great after that rule change... 2015-2018 was fantastic and we did not need any assistance. I think we won 5 or six more games than Fitzroy over the same period, which is not bad but not great since they last played in the comp in the 1990's so a bit of an unfair comparison.
2019-2023 After the above and Carlton became mediocre AFL introduces ongoing special-assistance packages by discretion, we got a couple local league players, GC the very next year with a better win/loss record got the motherload... cool cool cool. WCE to get assist this year thank god, they have been a rabble for 25 years
2025, now more DVI changes after ladder leaders and Preliminary and Grand Final frquent attendees get huge discounts on generational talents.

And obviously 2002, well those kind of sanctions have never been applied again to any team, even one that injected 34 players with PEDs. The clubs **** up, but certainly the AFL have never come close to doing that again.

In conclusion, we have sucked hard and have been in the bottom quartile for well run clubs for 25 years, we also seem to manage to collide with AFL bullshit frequently. Thank you.

We'll get Cody...there's no stress now BUT - if he remains pick 1 or 2, we're gonna have to pay heavily for example and use ALL of the below in some capacity to ensure we have the picks to match a pick 1 bid:

*trade out this year's top 10 (TDK compo) for a 2026 First round pick.
*use our own 2026 first round pick (assuming we finish top 8)
*Involve our 2027 first round pick

If that is true, why bother? Are you saying the AFL will actually make it more expensive than the actual position they are bid on at? Say Cody is bid on at pick 3, you need more than pick 3's points to get him.

Yeah, tanks Cody, tanks a lot.
 
Sound like they are adding a 20% loading on matching a father son bid.

Pick 1 - 3000 points
Pick 2 - 2481 + Pick 12 - 1140 = 3641

Could also use 3+8 or 4+6

We can only use 2 picks to match any bid.

This prevents steak knives being used like Lions did and Pies throwing in multiple later picks to get points.
