Possibly. Even probably. Which would be disappointing.Highly doubt that'll happen because clubs are too scared of offending each other and in this case pissing off the AFL. 2020 was the one year clubs had the guts and that particular draft class with all its questions contributed. It'll be the same farce that saw Naicos fall to 4 and the Ashcrofts taken at 2 and 5.
But the two clubs could share the load of bidding for the players. They will likely have the first 4 picks in the draft.
For example, West Coast and Richmond fire in a bid on their first pick, but after it is matched, draft a player that is not in an academy with their original pick.
It will be interesting to see what happens.
