There's a rule that you can't trade a pick back to the club you got it from – guessing Melbourne offered pick 39 (which they got from Adelaide last year).

That is a weird rule.

 

[RowellAnderson12]

surely eagles dont pick howes and draft 3 flankers

 

[Jibroni]

3 minutes should be enough

 

[Wild Bill]

Will be interesting to see what the Dees offered and why the AFL knocked it back.

 

[M Malice]

YAY! Blockbuster trade in.

 

[Lore]

That is a weird rule.

Well it makes sense generally. Otherwise you could just send the same two picks back and forth to hide them.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Why was the trade rejected?

Could be something to do with the trading of Melbourne’s future first with Adelaide during the trade period? Potential for draft tampering perhaps? Not that I think either club would.

I really can’t see another reason to decline a trade, especially a pick swap.

EDIT: Lore’s post clears this up. Thanks.

 

[Lore]

Melbourne don't even have a future first lol

 

[The Prosecutor]

That is a weird rule.

Pretty sure it was brought in to avoid any shenanigans with F/S NGA. (For example, trading out a pick, then trading it back in after the bid has been accepted).

 

[Starburns_]

That is a weird rule.

Probably exists because of that trade Swans and West Coast did a few years back where the Swans avoided spending a 1st rounder on (I think) Blakey.

 

[slowedawg]

Alright I'm pretty happy about that.

 

[Chaisa]

Taylor or Draper here Sydney plz.

Wouldn't be surprised by the other Warner or Dittmar though.

They didn't break that rule by doing it, they traded different picks the second time. You can also trade it in a circle so it goes via a third club before it goes back to its original club and it's okay. But it does make that stuff a bit more difficult to do.

Indeed they don't

A lot of great options for the Swans. Plenty of players have fallen through.

 

[Tippett2Goal]

Will be surprised if we don't pick Warner here given how closely we've been linked

We have been linked to Taylor and Dittmar as well.

 

[Swiggy]

How is Draper still on the board??

 

[Wild Bill]

Just missed Bazzo

Yeah will be interesting to watch Bazzo v Bergman going forward. Both will play back.

 

[Lore]

20 picks in about 70 minutes. Still 52 picks to go (many will be passed but still )

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Is Montagna wearing a wet suit?

 

[Tippett2Goal]

Making my fantasy footy draft league look quick...

 

[Tippett2Goal]

Looks like I dont have to be surprised

 

[RowellAnderson12]

well done swans, thats awesome to see

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Can we take another pick?
