Swams show how you rort the system

Unbelievable what Sydney have done. Nic Blakey wasnt bid on until later so they traded out the 2nd for a 2019 to WCE
Then matched the bid at pick 10 and then traded back in their 2nd pick 24 from WCE. Absolute disgrace that club they are dead set crooks.
 
Can someone please explain what Sydney have done?
Made the AFL look like f-wits.

A new first for the AFL.

They have made the draft worse an df managed to allow the first live picks to rort the system.

Outdone themselves

Wow there's some perfect people here - bagging an 18 yo kid - biggest day of his life live TV - no pressure!!!


Yeah, I would have peed myself and then spewed on the mic if I was him at 18.
 
Everyone likes to point out the scummy tactics used by the likes of Essendon, Carlton, and Collingwood, but Sydney often escapes the same criticism. They’re the white collar criminal of the AFL world; like a dodgy banker or Wall Street trader. They put on the facade of being a professional and above board club, but collude and use underhanded tactics year in, year out.

They’ve had the COLA. They’ve reaped elite talent in the form of Heeney, Mills, and now Blakey, and have now managed to do all this without paying the appropriate price.

Anyone could’ve seen this coming a mile away. The AFL need to adjust the bidding process to prevent this from happening, such as bidding silently ahead of time (not just when it’s that respective pick’s time to be called). Once such a bid is in, that club is not allowed to perform any live trades until the player has been accounted for; if they want to break the trade restriction, then they need to take that player on the spot (and at the “point price” that would be required if the player was actually bid on at that moment).

Less than they would. Pick 26 should have evaporated but now it’s live. Forget moral outrage, Sydney’s tactics negatively affect our draft position
Wouldn't it depend on what other picks they used?

Got to shake my head at how the AFL manages to get these things wrong. Do they actually have anyone at head office that could spot these types of loopholes?
Have to take my hat off to Sydney. No wonder they were so chuffed with themselves.
