Does not cost us anything. It costs Fremantle to match, not the bidder!Assuming we make a bid on Henry as touted by some, does that cost us any draft points in the future when Freo match it ? (not really sure how it totally works)
Their late picks this season are not worth enough to cover what they need to match the bid , so in reality they would go in debt to be paid back next draft. In essence whatever their first round pick is next year will be pushed back well into second round as a result if we bid on Henry at 9.
Of course if Swans bid on him at 5, Dockers have the picks directly afterwards and one of those would simply be used on him which Fremantle certainly do not want to do. They want to pick 2 other kids before Henry and get Henry as their third pick of draft. They obviously willing to accept next year's first rounder will get pushed back. Maybe they have another Academy played or father/son option next year so it all works perfectly for them as they could also make that up with middle or later round picks to follow on next year.
