I think we broke that rule with the Omeara trade and it was days before anyone realised.
The AFL this week confirmed to AFL.com.au that unless a club has acquired two first-round picks between 2015-2018, it cannot trade away its first-round selection for 2019.
Outside of Collingwood, the rest of the competition has already met its quota and is free to place 2018 and 2019 first-round picks on the table.
The Pies selected boom youngster 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.
For us it was the Future 1st and Future 2nd/3rd/4th rule where you can only do one or the other.
The AFL ended up deciding that replacing our Future 2nd with someone else's Future 2nd was enough to be okay. Mostly because they had already signed off on the deals.
And while #freekickhawthorn may be what people are thinking, what they really should be thinking is: why not just have simple rules and enforce them properly.
The AFL lives for grey areas.
This thread is an outrage!How do you feel about this personal attack Frank Gallagher ?
It was a glorious time on BigFooty.
'They can't trade their future 2nd round pick if they've already traded their 1st to St Kilda'.
Nek minit, Hawks trade their 2nd round pick and swap a bunch of later picks to Carlton for GWS' 2nd round pick.
The deal was probably on the table for a couple of days before the AFL just caved and decided it was close enough to what they intended.
Thread is not worthy of my precious time.where is frank? usually he's had his 2 cents worth by now!?
Sort of discribes the AFL itself.Should just scrap it. Poorly thought-out and implemented.
Rule is not needed anyway
LOL. Yeah West Coast has been treated so badly by the AFL. I mean they came down hard on your 2006 sideIf swans or west coast broke that rule the VFL would be alll over it
Richmond or Collingwood..ptttffff it’s waived
Just like Geelong did. The afl should bin the rule as I can’t see it being enforced- clubs will just point to Geelong (and now maybe Collingwood and next year hawthorn) not meeting criteria.They will just write to the AFL and get it waived.

Errr, wat?
Errr, wat?
Classic AFL making it up as they go along. It's a silly rule anyway because the only punishment is not being able to trade any more first round picks. Which doesn't really affect you if you've already traded them because the AFL don't know their own rules...
And according to the October 2015 document, Determination for the trading of future draft selections, the first four-year block will not come into effect until the 2019 exchange period.
The delayed introduction of future trading rules was so as not to prejudice clubs’ existing long-term list strategies.
Exemptions will be determined based on the age of players brought in through trades and what draft picks the club has used.

The future-pick document also demands that club boards authorise the trading of a future first-round selection before the trade period.
Geelong does not have a first-round pick this year, after trading it last year for Carlton’s Zach Tuohy, and last used one in 2014, drafting Nakia Cockatoo at No.10.
But the Cats are allowed to go another two years without using one.
