From memory deficits are only applied to real picks, not compo ones. Compo ones also can't be used for academy matching (as of a couple of years ago).Lore, the afl.com.au article on draft picks is also applying the GWS points deficit from last year's draft - but it's mitigating it against some carryover from the 2015 draft (who knew?) - taking the third round pick from the current 57 to 59 and moving GSC & St Kilda up. However, if GWS get an earlier round 3 or indeed a round 2 pick (possibly as FA compensation for Tomlinson) I suspect they could apply it there instead. Do you have any authoritative intel on how they're applying that deficit?
Compensation and priority picks can't be used for father-sons either, or at least it's still written in the rules that way.From memory deficits are only applied to real picks, not compo ones. Compo ones also can't be used for academy matching (as of a couple of years ago).
The deficit is applied before the free agency/trade period so that clubs can't avoid paying the deficit by trading the picks out. Once it's been applied that's it, it doesn't get reapplied on new picks you trade in.Lore, the afl.com.au article on draft picks is also applying the GWS points deficit from last year's draft - but it's mitigating it against some carryover from the 2015 draft (who knew?) - taking the third round pick from the current 57 to 59 and moving GSC & St Kilda up.

The concept of a surplus is unusual, I think because the points left over after matching for Hopper didn't make any material difference when added to the next best pick that GWS had at the time. It's funny that they've decided they still count now, as normally it should be forfeit, as with unused picks. I'm not sure why it took them 4 years to decide to carry it over.
The surplus is legitimate - we had it confirmed by the Lions when it was introduced that matching a first round bid with a single first round pick generates a surplus that could be used to match future bids, not an extra pick unlike when matching with multiple picks or later picks.
However we had assumed that the future bids would be limited but going back and reading it again that was wrong - https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/2015-draft-discussion.1089237/post-41328263.
They quoted the exact rule that covered this situation back in 2015.

The pick numbers are right, just the formula for the black background on priority/compensation picks was a bit simplistic because I was lazy when I set it up. Should be right now, and stay right hopefully.
