First pick I want the club to take Jye Amiss. Midfielders are dime a dozen but we need to actually use an early pick on a bloody forward for once no more Reece Concas over Tom Lynch! The even ness of the draft won't really matter which mids are taken time will tell who got lucky. Besides Vickery and Riewoldt 15 years ago when have we used a quality pick on a KPF!!!! FFS's the cupboards are bare now.
 
But the club receiving the three lower picks for their higher pick now has more picks than they can use. They'd have to have a couple of really low worthless picks to entertain that deal.
Not if they are using those picks to match a bid on an academy kid. Clubs who want to trade up just to grab a particular player will trade a future draft pick or 2 to get the pick in this years draft.

No they can enter the draft with more spots than they have picks.

We could also have 5 spots free on the list but only use 4 draft picks. The last spot would be filled via the PSD, rookie draft or mid season draft (if the club can wait that long). Changing three picks into one is a very viable option.

Last year the AFL allowed clubs to stockpile picks because teams had prepared for bid matching the year previously by trading in future picks and with the list sizes being cut the clubs were going to be left with picks they couldn't use. So they allowed the extra picks in the 2020 draft. As I linked in that article yesterday the rules revert back to previous years where clubs can only have picks that match list spots. The 'exception' is when a club trades out 1 or 2 picks to acquire later picks for bid matching.
 
Ward looks like our type of mid. Runs hard both ways and will do it all day long. Would not surprise me at all to see us trade up to get him.

The little murmurings of us moving up have started. I see Adelaide's Pick 4 coming into our interest. Whether it happens of not I don't know for certain but I do know people at other clubs have mentioned it. I do see the Jordan Dawson trade maybe a point of interest here. Let's see what occurs, but I know Ward is someone we rate extremely highly. So do I. Would celebrate getting him.

What would we be giving up to move up the order?
