Swapped out 26 for future 3rd

Purchased 24 for future 2nd.

Dodged using 26 on Blakey. WC get a future 3rd upgraded to 2nd for helping out

 

[Impatient Saint]

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.

Is there a live AFL draft order somewhere?

Would be interested to know what picks we have now with all the bids etc

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

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).

Are they updating the draft lists as these bids and trades are occurring? Our later picks must be moving up.

The guns on Max look bigger than Bens.

I think Ben was considered stronger going into the season, but we've had Max in the gym for months while Ben was still playing.

Bloody hell this is boring as f***

Cheers for that.

 

[Papa Juggs]

We needed the tall.

It really really hurts to pass up so many gun mids.

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

The AFL cocked this up, waiting until tomorrow is shit too.

Made a fool of the AFL again.

Wouldn't it depend on what other picks they used?

What’s tomorrow????

 

[Keg on legs]

Jordan Clark next?

 

[gringo2011]

What’s tomorrow????

Everything after round one.

 

[Diehard Saint]

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.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Everything after round one.

Good lord

They traded out a pick they would have had to of used on Blakey.

Got Blakey

Then traded it back in
