Squiggle tips Demons at 77% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
It doesn’t tho. That’s just wishful thinking trying to justify this trade.
Let’s just take WBD example, 2 of the very best rebounding defenders in the comp in Dale and Daniel were taken with picks in the 40s.
You are not getting elite KPF late, but key defenders or players of any other role are often able to be found in that 30-40 range
Oh it was a shocking trade and made even worse by the fact they could have taken the second best kid AND got Daicos, as North won't bid at 1, Horne is the best player in the draft and they will call his name out.
Wouldn’t have hurt to hang on to pick 2 and make a Will Brodie type trade with North, I think they’d happily overlook Daicos if an earlier trade had been in their favour.But it’s completely fanciful to believe that North would have allowed us to take 2 players.
Effectively we got 3 early 2nds.What did Collingwood get for giving away pick2?
North should bid at one. It looks dumb to not
That would kill all the fun of arbitrage.Shows just how wrong the points index is.
AFL really need to update it to reflect the true value of draft picks relative to each other.

Probably because you were competing with teams like North etc who wanted that pick as well. North might have offered 42, 47 and a future 3rd so you would have to have offer better.Can some explain why we had to add a future third rounder?
There was some competition for pick 27 there was about 3 teams who could have offered 2 picks worth about the same amount. Geelong could have offered 34 and 50 for example. Thats why the future 3rd was needed. There was more than 1 suitor for the pick.Still 38 and 40 was sufficient for 27. Trading a future 3rd really tips the scales collingwoods way. If by trade up you mean 26-28 into teens picks possibly..but i cant see anyone earlier than pick 7 doing a trade up with them.
I think we keep all three.I reckon we'll sit back now and wait for the best offer on 26, 27 and 28. If nothing satisfies take them all to the draft. It's a great position to be in.
Pick 23 will be hard without using future picks and I reckon the Doggies want 2021 Draft picks for Pick 23 - you might need to get a 3rd party involved!Could have our eyes on Collingwood's pick 36 or the Dogs' pick 23.
If you have to throw in a third rounder to beat the other teams to it who cares. Richmonds draft hand this year is ridiculous now
Shows just how wrong the points index is.

Certainly needs some tweaking weighted towards the top end but the value of picks relative to one another changes year on year. It’s difficult to get right and COVID disrupting underage footy and therefore the later rounds certainly doesn’t help.
Some smart bloke could just feed all pick for pick trades from the last 10 years into a spreadsheet and produce an accurate points curve.
Clubs who match bids at the top end can now pay a significant portion of the cost through these type of trades. So instead of a 20% discount, they can get up to 50% discount.
This wasn’t intended and I reckon it’s a joke that they haven’t fixed it.
Hard disagree, North would not risk genuinely missing out on Horne Francis by bidding on Daicos, you definitely would have had a pick at 2Not disputing that in hindsight the trade has been horrible.
But it’s completely fanciful to believe that North would have allowed us to take 2 players.
There would have been plenty of other options we could have explored if we still had pick 2, but realistically that’s not one of them.
clubs are throwing away entire draft hands for 1 player currently, thats a fair enough trade off for stockpiling late picks IMOShows just how wrong the points index is.

Whats done is done but yeah North would 100% take Horne Francis
Yeah I think so too.
Apparently we are looking at 3-4 draftees this year including Daicos. So hopefully with 3x future 3rds, we can package them with our current 3rd round picks for picks in the 30-40 range.
Would a club do future 3rd + pick 48 for pick 35 for example?
