The exploits illustrated by GC & GWS in collecting shitpicks for bidding during this year's trade period are a great example of why this bidding system is broken as badly as FA compensation.
I still think the new bidding system is better than the system it replaces. The points allocation per pick is off though, needs to be a steeper curve as you go down the draft order.
Using the Heeney example, it's better that Syndey give up the points equivalent of pick 2 (which should include their first round pick) instead of drafting him at pick 17 as they did. Melbourne drafting at pick 3 instead of pick 2 doesn't change anything as either way, Heeney wouldn't be available to them once Sydney matched their bid.
