No idea what the theory behind this one is...some Binuk magic perhaps, or we aren't going to need these picks at all for matching bids on Borlase or Newchurch?
 
In 24 hours the Crows did this:

OUT: 56, 63, 66, Future 4th (Dees)
IN: Future 4th (Freo)

Seems... Odd.
Some double counting going on here.

Should be:
In: R4 (FRE)
Out: #56, #66, R4 (MEL)

That trade in points value is worth more than Jesse Hogan.

Quite simple concept behind this. Adelaide only taking 3/4 picks into the draft with list size reductions and getting into next year's draft which has depth unlike this year. Otherwise picks 56 and 66 would've been forfeited. Freo need points for their academy player(s). Unfortunate circumstances to get those picks in and then not be able to use them properly.

In reality, this year's draft might only have 45 picks in the national draft.

that maybe so due to various reasons.

So on average. Most teams will recruit 3-4 kids on draft night leather than the usual 5-6 guys
