Sorry mate but points mean squat on a live trade.
I mean in terms of value for money. Where the selection falls determines more than adding up some numbers to make it work. So if I get a first and a second and 3 4th rounders for my 2 1sts, I’d rather that over a 1st and a 3rd. Just coz we think it works doesn’t matter. We’re the buyer here, not the seller.Not sure about that. I reckon at least half the trades executed on draft day are points related.
I know the points don't mean much, but they act as a guide, especially when used to measure previous similar trades.Sorry mate but points mean squat on a live trade. They’ll fill the deficit in other ways with a future 7th if they have to. It’s value for money not points. The system is very pliable.
But your suggested trades are the opposite.I mean in terms of value for money. Where the selection falls determines more than adding up some numbers to make it work.

You pay overs to move up in the first round, and when measured historically, the points are biased to be too high on lower picks.
Let’s not trade down and miss a Haydyn Young to get a Kemp and Philip please (again)
It's different if extra future picks are involved.10, 29 for either 14, 17 or 15, 18 with a future 3rd attached to either deal, is in the ball park
If we do either of those deals before draft night, we can then trade a future 1st (prefer not to unless it's a great deal) or other futures if we want to add an extra pick inside 25
It's different if extra future picks are involved.
If it's just for 2022 picks, then it's our 3rd that should be going back, not our second.
My take on the situation is we're waiting until pick 11 to see if one of Phillipou or Humphrey is still available. If both of them have been taken, that's when we look to trade down the order. Pick 11 for picks 19 + 20 seems the most logical - that gives us three picks inside the top 30 which is what Austin has wanted all along.
Pick 19 is used on a mid - Hollands, Hewett or Hotton. Pick 20 is used on a KPP - Keeler or Gruzewski. With Pick 30 I'd look at if the remaining player out of the two KPPs is still available, otherwise pick up George, Konstanty or Clarke. Last list spot would go on a DFA, depending on who we pick at 30 I'd recruit Ned Cahill or Josh Walker.
I posted earlier in this thread, that Allen was an option for our first pick, still have not changed my mind. He reminds me of Ballard in his draft year, that hybrid winger that can play back. I'd not be upset for Carlton to select Allen with our first pickIf Ben Allen's boy, Ed, is anything like his old man, I would choose him if he becomes available
Edit: Just checked CAl Twomeys draft ...he has Allen at 18
Oh really!That deal was 12 months prior, more exposed form to make a call now
Name Hayden Young in this draftLet’s not trade down and miss a Haydyn Young to get a Kemp and Philip please (again)
I had Hayden Young close to pick 1 worth in his draft year, the kid was a jet and his kicking skills alone made him a top 1% prospect. Not to mention his toughness and aerial skills. (I think I did rate him #1 in his draft year from memory)Name Hayden Young in this draft
Oh really!
Then it's unlikely. It's okay to have a win/win trade
Would rather 2 late 1sts over 10 and 29
Id say he's got the potential to be the best player in the draft. Imo he's been poorly coached/not accepted feedback and been allowed to get away with being a purely offensive weapon with no interest in anything else. His speed from stoppages and ability to swoop on loose balls is freakish but if he's going to be successful at AFL level he will need to add a lot of defensive craft to his game.If he gets past Geelong there’s every chance he makes it to our pick.
I personally don’t rate him in the best 5/6 prospects. Will be interesting to see where recruiters rate him.
It is a tough call, that pick 10 can be a serious slider that you as a football team rate very highly.
Then pick 29 could be a Motlop styled selection where you're hitting draft needs and you would have picked him at late first round anyway.
I'd almost want pick 10 and 29 over two late first round selections.
Using Bletch's list from above.
Ginbey/Hewett and Allen/Darcy Jones/Hagan
might be better than
Hotton and Hustwaite...{insert players here}
Just important to know where you have tier breaks in players.
*Personally, I have a few tiers of players
Tier One
Ashcroft
Cadman
Wardlaw
Tier Two
Tsatas
Sheezel
Ginbey
Clark
Phillipou
Hewett
Busslinger
(Still not sure if I like Bailey or not yet!! Getting some JDG vibes as a player and I was wrong on his on field ability)
Tier Three
I am open to options from here, I could "reach for a few upside players at this point.
We dont think GWS don’t know how valuable 19 is - really.
Also, 49 will get you a bag of chips at the corner store. It’s us who want their picks not vice versa. Ahh Draft time - the time when all AFL supporters want the unbelievable. 10 and 49 gets you 14 and 42 or 19 and 31.it’s not worth Jack. 29 on the other hand gets you 14/17 or 15/18. GWS just lost 4 solid players remember. SYD are a player away from a Premiership.
Anyway - Spoke to a mate who works the mines in the Pilbara about half a ago - as a result, I just re-watched Elijah Hewett highlights - he is as good as anyone in this draft IMO. If he makes our pick - we should take him. Could be the next Judd. Yep E HEWETT 3 Votes - quote me.
Get back into the early 2nd somehow and take Barnett and we are gold.
DeKoning and McKay as our KPF pillars. Curnow to play Kouta II.
Who's equal to him this yearI had Hayden Young close to pick 1 worth in his draft year, the kid was a jet and his kicking skills alone made him a top 1% prospect. Not to mention his toughness and aerial skills. (I think I did rate him #1 in his draft year from memory)

Who's that some campaignerShadeau Brain
We had pick 9 and Young was selected at pick 7, so your point doesn't really make any sense.Let’s not trade down and miss a Haydyn Young to get a Kemp and Philip please (again)
