Then what was the point if we didn't get anything back? We were always ahead of Freo
I'll repeat this, Freo were going to swap 17 + something to West Coast for pick 15.

So they would've been before us.

Our pick 45 was better than Freo's offer.
Only makes some sort of sense if we were only ever going to use 3 picks and 50 which became 45 was for a better trade than we got with WCE but it never eventuated.
Our next pick 90 or whatever it is will probably come right in to around 60 with clubs filling their list and passing.

Port trade a 3rd rounder to make sure the player we want doesn’t get stolen by another club.

Yeah, and that player is another flanker. There are better players on the board.

It’s the same BS every year: Hinkley is safe again, a flanker in the first round, and a choke in the finals. Nothing changes at Port.

And as Coobk001 said, we can match on Barrett if there's a late attempt on him
 
I think they are hoping Benny doesn’t get bid on take him as category b rookie not use the 4th pick and keep a spare pick for 1 of the players playing for our sanfl team like McLennan
Hopefully positioning our last pick at 93 instead of 45, pays off in terms of scaring teams away from picking Benny
 
People also should remember- trading our 4th pick really just pushed our last pick back, really. This increases our chances of matching a bid for Benny Barrett. We will have a list spot open to very late in the piece now. Previously we couldn’t match a bid between 50 and the end of the draft as we had no list spots left. Now we can.

This actually removes the incentive of anyone bidding on Benny also increasing the chances of getting him for “free” as a cat B rookie.

Who are the better players? And don’t you think we would have picked them if we thought they were better?
 
That hasn't been announced. We had 4 main list spots, with the last at 45, I would suspect we would use pick 45, rather than an extra deep rookie pick
Yes 4 main list spots, 3 draftees and upgrading McEntee (cal through the week said on afl website “They will upgrade rookie Jed McEntee to the senior list)

Also said “Draft picks: 13, 29, 36, 50 (likely to use three or four selections”

Do we have a pick in the 90s? Didnt see it in the allocation of the AFL pre-draft

Port could very well draft Shanahan tomorrow and that would be a great get. Just hope the tigers, swans, eagles and saints pass him up. Can't see the dogs drafting another tall considering their tall stocks.

Having said that the Whitlocks were invited to attend the draft and did not end up getting drafted in the 1st round. Must be awks for any player to be invited to draft night and not get drafted in the 1st round.

We do now we used up 45. So we get our next pick after that.

Surely you see us getting bent over at the trade period and draft. At some point you will have to question why it happens to us, and why other clubs keep benefiting off it and win flags, while we continue to extend our 21 year premiership drought.
Whose bent us over and won flags?
From 2018 Hawthorn haven't done anything. North haven't done anything.
And out trade up to get to Rozee's pick 5 was Freo to get to six. And they haven't done anything, and then Brisbane almost let us swap 6 for pick 5 at no cost.
2019 we traded a future first Brisbane for the pick that became Georgiades.

That future first ended up in the COVID draft as well.

We traded up for Sinn, that was also with West Coast.

If you had of said it as bluntly as that the first time I would have got it. Too much going on at the same time.
