This makes sense
Traded Geelong trade #38, #48, #55, F2, F4 to Brisbane for #25

The only thing I can immediately think of is Gold Coast need 25 to close the Rankine deal, and AFL has basically ordered us to help them out by giving that instead of F2 for Bowes.
Considering we're getting Bowes and 7, I guess it's the least we could do. Plus help Brisbane out with more points.
Generate some goodwill all around....

Relying on a team that has had a 8 + F1 rejected in another trade, to have an F2 available for Esava?

I thought Rendell said Mackie is too difficult to deal with yesterday. Have done 2 x deals with 2 x separate clubs today.

They can delist and redraft but it risks being a Greenwood situation.

I thought you had to select a minimum of 3
Yes, but the bargaining position is kind of weak given it's clear we are only taking two players in the draft. Those are junk picks we can't use.
Not since COVID and even before then, two rookie upgrades (Atkins, Close) counted in the three.

No we are elevating 2 rookies which counts in the 3 we are only taking 2 picks (no more list spots)

I assume the afl will insist gc get the f1 and not you for them to aporove the bowes deal. Wouldnt put it past the afl.
They can but they now have 8 picks and only 4 (?) vacancies. Maybe a couple of those picks go fur Dunkley. I'm sure they know what they are doing, just seems like they have broken up their picks too much too early.
They will have to use most, if not all of them, matching bids on Ashcroft and Fletcher. Ashcroft touted as pick 1 and now some say Fletcher is a first rounder as well.
That's what I floated too Snuffy...makes the most sense and explains everything we're doing here - and makes it so we don't need an exemption from the AFL either
Geelong aren’t worried about giving excessive pick upgrades to Brisbane being their bitches.
I know, but they don't currently have the list vacancies to take them to the draft. The more obvious approach would be to not split them so much and have pre-arranged live trades for when the bids come.
