?? We still need to identify the best players even if it is just one. But aren't we required to draft a minimum of three?

Rookie upgrades count towards the 3 minimum. So a Butts upgrade counts as a pick.
 
If you put points value on yesterday's trades and assume that the ADL/MLB future picks have the same value as this year you get:

ADEL - Out 2,033, In 1,548. Net loss 485
MELB - Out 1,895, In 1,795. Net loss 100
ST K - Out 287, In 373. Net gain 100
WB - Out 1,025, In 1,524. Net gain 499

So in effect we dumped the equivalent of Pick 37. Obviously if we improve from 15th and particularly if Melbourne drops from 1st this points differential would improve by say 50-175 points.

I also realise that picks such as 62 & 64 had almost no value to us. We'd likely only use them to upgrade rookies at best (can still use 80/98) and they had no trade value to anybody but St Kilda who may use them for an NGA match in the 21-40 range (which also means that we cannot do the same for O'Laughlin/Dudley if called in that range).

A 2022 Western Bulldogs 3rd Rounder (233 pts if runner up) would have been nice to balance things up a bit and as possible steak knives for Sydney.

The outcome of this deal must have really pee'ed off Sydney.
Shows you how brilliant Reid is in negotiation. I'm happy enough with the 1st next year and its not important but do we ever win in our negotiations.

well we won't know in points terms until the end of next year where melbourne finish..finish lower than premiers and maybe we are then ahead on points etc.

Somehow I hope we can get Dawson without giving up any of our 1st rounders this year or next. Would be great to go into 2022 with 2 x 1st rounders with certain players coming out of contract and a number of highly rated local lads again in the draft
 
Unfortunately Dawson and the difficulty his recruitment has forced on us we are losing quite a bit of 2021 draft capital so there's several SA lads that I think would have been in sights we will no longer have the picks to secure them.
Not sure Re this ; we are showing a bit of contempt for this draft after early part which makes sense given the SA talent is thin overall and also the vic kids are underexposed with minimal footy for 2 years

I was going to add something similar this morning but ran out of time

With the under exposed form of a lot of players we may feel there is one top 4 prospect and a late smokey

Given Binuks past we must feel there is value in the deal

Just remember, once again, picks towards the back-end this year (similarly to last year) are worth much less because of reduced list sizes and a reluctance to draft kids on unexposed form. We have lost out here by 485 points, but 200 of those were junk picks in the 60's. If you go back to pick swaps last year clubs were dying to give them away for higher draft picks, and plenty of teams didn't even end up using theirs. We've managed to get on the front foot here and get a pick into next year and upgrade a pick this year.

Why? They were warned! ;) They must have thought we were bluffing.
 
I don't know why i'm even still thinking up these scenario's as i've essentially taken JHF off my draft board, but this one came to me last night and I thought i'd throw it out there.

3 way trade

Crows
Give 4 + 2022 1st Round pick
Gain 2021 1st overall selection

GWS
Give 2 + 13
Gain Pick 4 + Adelaide 2022 1st (and banking on the Crows staying low on the ladder)

North
Give Pick 1
Gain Pick 2 and Pick 13

In terms of points the Kangaroo's make out like bandits (730 points above market value) to only drop 1 spot. GWS is in a better spot to grab their tall and reload into next years draft with a real shot at another top 5 pick, and we get our wonder boy for the price of 2 x 1st round picks (which would actually be a bargain to go from pick 4 to 1).

I like it. I can see benefit for each team in that trade.

Reading these trade ideas show just how stupid it was to win that extra game this year. One less win and we'd already have pick 2.
It's not as if North Melbourne gave us a choice. The Sturt U18s wouldn't have been able to lose to North Melbourne that day.

I didn't say anything about that game.

Personally I would have liked to see us contrive a loss in the round 19 match against Hawthorn.

I disagree, if anything, this trade period is showing how harmless winning that extra game proved to be as North aren't letting Horne slip past them. Especially if we're not particularly interested in Andrews/Gibcus/Callaghan, and you can certainly make a compelling argument why we shouldn't go near all of them.

Pick 2 or Pick 4 doesn't stop Sydney from pushing for it as long as possible.

So you're suggesting both Reid and Nicks were just posturing when they said we'd be hitting the draft hard again not all that long ago?

That's not my read, my read is we thought getting Dawson over the line was a lot easier than it's turned out.
