I think that's very wishful thinking. You can demolish an opponent's draft hand, by bidding at 1. That's big incentive for an opposition club. Much more incentive than getting your draftee an extra 10k.

If Cochrane and Cody are standouts one of them will get the bid. Also, depending on what they do with the bidding system, whoever has top pick could actually grab either player, if the club tied to them can't match.

It's not wishful thinking... it's the way I see it happening.

If I'm wrong... then I'm wrong. Don't care.

Either way, both Cochrane and Walker will be getting bid on very early next year.

I think even if they're the two clear standouts, Cochrane will take the first bid ahead of Walker.

Worst case scenario is obv if Walker is bid on at pick 1... 2700 points is very hard to match and that's with the current rules...

So Tiges bidding just for fun i presume? I reckon the AFL should impose a point deduction for having the right to bid for a player not attached to them. Kind of like buying a lottery ticket to be able to enter into a race or chance to win something. Nothing major but enough for a deterrent for fake bids. And if they get the player if comes off the total of the points.
 
According to a post on the D&T Board, the Tiges have told their coteries that they will bid on Dean if West Coast don't.

I find it interesting that certain Tiges supporters are obsessed with bidding on our FS to make us pay up. Considering we have never had any advantage from this system, compared to GC and Brisbane who are about to get another 3 top 6 picks between them after making finals.

I thought there'd be more resentment towards them then us.

They are feeling aggrieved that Cody Walker did the worst thing to them and chose his father’s club. Pricks.

Every Richmond supporter I’ve spoken to about Dean and bidding, still drags up the Chris Yarran trade as “proof” we’re bad-faith operators. It’s like mate… that was a decade ago under a different regime, and you’ve won three drought-breaking flags since then.

We all have to own our histories.

I still hold a deep grudge with North Melbourne FC and umpire Allen over the diabolical chain of events that led to us forfeiting the 1904 VFA Grand Final.

I wouldn't read too much into Richmond delisting 2 key defenders, Blight and Koschitzke, and trading out a third in Tylar Young to make way for Dean on our list. It is just probably a big coincidence. 😁

Anyway, we already got you back for Yarran by fooling dumbarse Silvagni into trading up to get ahead of our picks for Philp and Stocker. I often feel terrible about that.

Particularly since they poached Yarran
 
Even when Daicos was coming through he slipped to 4. Father sons have always slipped a few picks below where they should actually be drafted. But as soon as the blues have a top 10 talent, everyone wants to make us pay, its crazy.
