That is incorrect. It most definitely is tied to the number of available list spots you have available. Nor can you take "hidden" picks to the draft.I might be wrong but I don't think the number of draft picks you can take into the draft is limited to the number of list spots.
I think it's the number of draft picks you can use is limited to the number of list spots.
There is a difference.
We can take the 7 picks to the draft but at the time we have to match the Ashcroft bid, we can only use the number of picks to match that we have list spots available (likely to be 5).
After we match the Ashcroft bid, we would have 3 draft picks and 4 list spots available, so would be fine.
I'm sure clubs regularly have more draft picks assigned going into the draft than what they use on draft night.
I had a read of the last 3-4 pages of the Dogs thread and man is that effed up. References to Putin and basically blowing there whole trade and draft period plus next years by not having our first all to punish Dunkley, Pickering and of course the BEars. They are so unhinged there sole focus is not on improving there list but punishing everyone oh and bidding or threatening to bid on Fletcher.
Further to that, they are claiming victory in having one of the better trade periods of all teams - as far as I can tell, they are up there with Sydney with not having done anything - given they have only brought in Jones as a free agent.
It is honestly one of the most messed up supporter groups ive had the displease of reading - just lacking in all common sense.
No worries.That is incorrect. It most definitely is tied to the number of available list spots you have available. Nor can you take "hidden" picks to the draft.

What are you on about. Bevo is a good coach. They made the grand final in 2021.100% agreed on Bevo. I maintain the 2016 premiership will end up hurting the dogs quite badly in the long run because it’s essentially given Bevo a free pass for as long as he wants - and we’re already starting to see the effects of what happens when you give free reign to a Joe Rogan-like man child.
Well done Jivlain!Assuming Ashcroft goes at 1 and Davey goes at 14:
Matching pick one takes picks 34, 35, 36, 38 & 39, getting Ashcroft and pick 50 in change.
Picks before 33 move down one, pick 37 moves up 2, picks from 40-49 move up 4, and from 50 onwards move up 3.
Essendon uses picks 23 (nee 22) and 38 (nee 42), getting Davey and pick 46 in change. No overall impact on our picks.
We now have picks 50 (change from 39), 52 (nee 55) and 53 (nee 56), allowing us to match up to pick 19 without deficit.
Assuming Ashcroft goes at 3 and Davey at 14:
Matching pick three takes picks 34, 35, 36 & 38, getting Ashcroft and pick 53 in change.
Picks before 33 move down one, pick 37 moves up 2, picks from 39-55 move up 3, and from 56 onwards move up 2.
Essendon uses picks 23 (nee 22) and 39 (nee 42), matching Davey and getting pick 46 in change.
Our pick 36 (nee 39) becomes 35.
We now have picks 35 (nee 39), 52 (nee 55), 53 (change from 38), 54 (nee 56), allowing us to match up to pick 9 without deficit.
(obviously in this scenario I've assumed that Davey goes before Fletcher but that change doesn't actually matter - we can match pick 9 without the post-Davey shuffle as well).
Those will be needed for Fletcher (unless we take a deficit).
No worries.
I thought I saw that the Dogs had 6 picks prior to matching the bid on Darcy at pick 2 in last year's draft.
I didn't think they had 6 list spots available.
If a player nominates for the draft, I understand they are also able to nominate their terms - hence Jack Martin getting to Carlton on a large front-ended contract to deter others from nominating. Would such contracts enable players to nominate other special terms ala - location clause whereby a player opts to reserve the right to not attend any team-related activities if they are not within a certain proximity to their preferred home location. That would immediately stop any other team trying to poach Dunkley, knowing they would be paying him a premium salary to not attend anything that is not near Noosa/Brisbane. It would be absolutely hilarious if there were such provisions but it would also mean pretty much mean every player becomes similar to a free agent at the end of their contract given they could always take this route to get to their preferred club.

5.50pm AESDTWe should run a sweep - pick the minute the Dunkley deal is announced tomorrow![]()
I believe by “nominating terms” it is purely contract length and salary. Nothing else.
Unlike matching a restricted free agent's contract terms, where a club only has to pay the averaged out amount of the total contract each year, a club taking a player with nominated terms in the pre-season draft must pay the nominated figures in each of the years of the contract. This means that clubs must pay the $1 million-plus amount next year then the specific lower amounts in years two to five.
Haha could you imagine?If a player nominates for the draft, I understand they are also able to nominate their terms - hence Jack Martin getting to Carlton on a large front-ended contract to deter others from nominating.

Assuming we can get 39 from the doggies.We have been adamant about getting at the very least, pick 39 back from the dogs. That to me, suggests we really would prefer to take 5 picks to the draft, and be able to match the bid at pick one on Ashcroft.
If we're not trading any of our remaining future picks, we currently have enough future points to match a bid on Fletcher at pick 9.
The only second round picks that I see as possibly attainable are GWS's 31 (606), and maybe Sydney's pick 37. But it's only really worth trading for Sydney's pick if we see both Geelong and us in the GF next year, and it's only really worth trading for pick 31, if we see both us and Geelong finishing top 4.

Haha could you imagine?
My terms are 6 years at $650k.
A steak at the Norman every Thursday night.
A Bulimba postcode.
And a locker between Cam Ah Chee and Hugh McCluggage.
If you can accomodate that, I’ll go anywhere.
that is the problem at one stage we either going into next year less points/picks to take a chance on someoneWe want something back for points. All we do under that scenario is give them away.
Hey bro, don't shit on Joe Rogan he's cool.100% agreed on Bevo. I maintain the 2016 premiership will end up hurting the dogs quite badly in the long run because it’s essentially given Bevo a free pass for as long as he wants - and we’re already starting to see the effects of what happens when you give free reign to a Joe Rogan-like man child.
i thought he be good for themSurprised Essendon haven’t gotten Matho. Wouldn’t cost much but the points from that pick might be nice?
