For folks late to the party trying to figure it out (like me) I think this is how it all works ...

... (please correct me if I’m wrong with any of this) ...

... IQ is part of the Next Gen Academy - a program set up around two/three years ago where clubs are allocated regions to draft players from, who are either indigenous or have come through non-traditional pathways (not actually sure what that means - born in another country?). Collingwood was assigned the regions of Barkly in Northern Territory (Area around Tennant Creek) and Oakleigh Chargers. Oakleigh Chargers have been a fertile recruiting ground for Collingwood in recent seasons (DeGoey, Moore, Crocker, McLarty, ...) but these have all been players who have come through traditional pathways. IQ is the first player who is eligible through the Next Gen Academy program, and he’s come through the Oakleigh Chargers region. I don’t know what criteria he fulfilled to be eligible - is he indigenous? This means that we can pick him up in the draft in the same way as we’d pick up a father-son ...

... the way that works is that if any other club tries to pick up our man before us (there is no point in us picking him up until we’re forced to) then we can ‘match’ the bid. The way that works is that every pick is allocated a set of points, see the link here ...

http://www.afl.com.au/staticfile/AFL Tenant/AFL/Files/Points-draft-value.pdf

... and we can use multiple later picks to build the same value minus a 20% discount.

So GWS tried to pick up IQ at pick 13.

It’s kinda like GWS trying to pay for IQ with a crisp new $100 note, and we’ve been allowed to match their bid with $80 worth of scrunched up $5 notes and coins we found behind the couch along with Bad Horse ‘s belly button lint. So as long as we count out $79.85 ... $79.90 ... $79.95 ... $80! ... then Gil takes our money for the player. But wait, there’s more! ...

... in this case we did manage to scrounge up enough coins from behind the couch, but if we didn’t have enough then in amongst that handful of scrunched up notes and coins and belly button lint, we could have included a napkin scrawled with “IOU $$” which are points that are borrowed from next year’s draft. We didn’t need to do this for IQ, but we may need to do this for a Father-Son prospect that we’re linked to - Kelly (a son of Ned). Apparently we’ve got enough coins behind the couch to match a bid as early as pick 25 and after that we need to write an IOU to be paid back out of next year’s draft. But wait, there’s more! ...

... if we actually hand over more points than what we need to ($73 ... $78 ... $82!) then we get ‘change’ in the form of a pick to the value of the spare points which gets magically created and inserted into the draft at the appropriate place, so all later picks then get shuffled back by one. I think this happened with IQ.

So once we matched GWS’s pick 13 for IQ, GWS get to chose again (their pick 13 now effectively becomes pick 14 and every other pick beyond 14 effectively shuffles along one). The picks that we used to match GWS’s bid then disappear off to the magical land of the lost pairings of odd socks.

There are probably other nuances and by-laws that I’ve missed ...
Bored ? lol.. but excellent summary
 
With Neville Jetta elite at shutting down, and not a prolific rebounder/runner, and Johannisen being an electric runner and great rebounder, hopefully Quaynor can get the best of both of their games!
Then that would be something:)

Ha ha, excellent work.

Note any lint found is acceptable unless it’s Schache lint or Bad Horse will pony up to you.

And:

Adelaide are the tyre kicking shoppers, they ask for and get quotes, get you to do all the contracts then say no sale after all. Then back to the couch finding those scrunched up notes and old coins.

My belly button lint is priceless thank you very much, it is worth a great deal more than loose change, especially when combined with certain...fluids.

Quaynor is apparently pretty excited about this.



When he met Mason Cox he was a little confused.

...but I believe he is already relaxing into his new surroundings, and his role as a drawcard.

Said it a few times but still think he plays round 1 more ready then what Stephenson was, I rate Jetta from Melbourne very highly and that's who he reminds me of.
