Collingwood are in danger of breaching AFL's 1st round rules

[4tune8]

As I understand the 1st round rules, clubs must use 2 x 1st round picks in a 4 year period.

So, unless a club has acquired 2 x 1st round picks between 2015 and 2018 it cannot trade away it's 1st round selection for 2019.

The Pies selected Jaidyn Stephenson at No.6 in the 2017 NAB AFL Draft and will need to trigger one first-round selection in 2018 or 2019 after not taking any between 2015-16.

After trading their 2018 1st and their 2019 1st as well as possibly losing their 2nd round pick because of going into deficit matching bids for Quayner and Kelly they are in breach of the rules and will have to trade back into the 1st round without much currency.

Another price to pay for the Beams deal.

They will just write to the AFL and get it waived.

 

[TigerTime_89]

Interesting.

 

[Old Stuckup]

Quaynor is a good chance to be taken in the first round this year so it probably won’t matter.

 

[Biggy_Boy]

It's a stupid rule with no real consequences anyway.

 

[The 747]

Rule is not needed anyway

 

[loki04]

Rule doesn't start until 2019, they changed it when Geelong did it and AFL signed off on it.

Whatever it takes against the mighty Tiges.

Should just scrap it. Poorly thought-out and implemented.

 

[Gralin]

All it does is stop them trafing future picks until they have used their firsts in the draft.
And that is only if the AFL enforces it.

Hardly scary

Agree, clubs should be allowed to grow their list creatively. Just take it out of the game so we never win another Premiership.

 

[Upgrayedd]

I think we broke that rule with the Omeara trade and it was days before anyone realised.

 

[Jukesy85]

Won’t the bombers be in danger of breaching this next year too then?

2016 - McGrath
2017 - traded first round pick to GWS (Smith)
2018 - traded first round pick to GWS (Shiel)
2019 - traded first round pick to GWS (Shiel)

Will have two second round picks next year so I guess there’s currency to trade up into it.

 

[BEEG]

I'm sure Geelong has done it without any penalties.

Hahaha what's the AFL going to do? Most corrupt organization in Australia, aslong as it's not taking money away from them they don't give a *.

 

[Yidaki]

OP I sense your fear.

WTF does this have to do with Richmond? You aren't the reigning premiers so how about canning the try to make everything about Richmond thing.

 

[schmuttt]

Agree. I can understand stopping clubs from trading picks beyond the next draft but otherwise they should be free to do as they please.

 

[Occidental]

We’ve already thrashed you in the Prelim. This Beames trade has nothing to do with a focus on Richmond.

 

[Tiger71]

OP you should have said in your title "EXCLUSIVELY NO PIE SUPPORTERS".

 

[longsuffreosupp]

Think it's a good rule, maybe make it more stricter. Share the GWS and GC players around.

To be Frank, I think Pies fans should be excluded from this main board thread.

How do you feel about this personal attack Frank Gallagher ?

 

[spudmaster]

They should be stripped of the '18 flag!

 

[Tarkyn_24]

They should be stripped of the '18 flag!

Agree. Reckon it should go to the runner up instead.

Borderline draft tampering imo
