Does anyone think there will be any pick swaps prior to the draft? Or are we all hanging out for the "excitement" of watching it live?

I'd probably prefer 28 and 45 for 22 and 35 and 49 for 30?
But I quite like your too.

Cats trade 36 and suns future 3rd (40ish) to Freo for pick 22 before the draft.
After the Henry bid has been matched by the Dockers, Geelong trade pick 24 To Freo for their future 2nd rounder.
Cats in 22 and Freo future 2nd (late 20s)
Freo in 24, 36 and Suns future 3rd (40ish)
After the Henry bid has been matched by the Dockers, Geelong trade pick 24 To Freo for their future 2nd rounder.

I can't see anything - the AFL are trying to prolong this as much as possible in the desperate hope they can keep the limelight at the start of the cricket season. I'd have had a 2 day timeframe for 'all' the pick trades to go down, then leave the rest til draft night. I actually can't see what the benefit is of doing a pick swap before draft night when you can discuss them all anyway.

The AFL want everybody to keep checking AFL.com.au to see if anything has happened. They want to continue to own this part of the year.

That's a pretty good idea. Do Fremantle have enough delistings to be able to do a 1 for 3 pick swap?
You have to have as many spots on your list as picks I thought?

Presumably they want the points, right?
So that means they need to be able to accept the pics in order to have them for the Henry bid, which means they already need to have the list vacancies.
well richmond has picks
#19,#38,#39,#41,#56,#75,#77,#95
we will only take 3 maybe 4 players and have 3 rookie upgrades
but your list can be 38-40 so fair bit of flexibility there
I think they are completely overrating the interest in live pick trading. I think most punters are far more interested in the kids they are picking than any wanky pick swaps that may happen on the night.

I don't know, riding pick 1 here we come for a while was fun this year.

True, but it's a little boy who cried wolf between this and the trade period which is way too long.
It used to be my favorite part of the year, now I just feel like I am stuck in a bad relationship
I could see freo getting involved. Pick 10 and Melbourne's future second from the Langdon trade for pick 6. Then GWS trade pick 10 and a future third for Geelongs 17 and 24. That way GWS then trade 17 and or 24 for multiple later picks improving their points for Green bid and possibly add another future second. While pick 7 and 8 (after green bid) for Freo guarantees there wont be a Henry bid to match with their first two picks and provides them with a terrific opportunity to draft three quick and skillful players (including Henry).

Correct, AFL changed the rules after GWS used half a dozen twilight zone picks to match a academy player bid at the pointy end of the draft.
Pretty sure only 2 picks will be chewed up and the 3rd will become live if it's the next pick on the list while the remaining points will be taken off next year I believe. I'm pretty sure that's how it's meant to work now. It's like that 3rd pick is non-active until it's moved up.

It doesn’t matter, if you have 3 list spots, you can only take in your first three picks. No one on our end is 100% sure whether we have 3 or 4 list spots at the moment but say we have 3, at the moment we can only take 7,10 and 22 to the draft. If we turned 22 into 38,39 and 41 then we are basically turning 22 into 38 since we couldn’t use the other two.
There is also the issue that our 3rd and 4th basically perfectly covers us for bids from pick 12 onwards for points. We have no incentive to break up 22 for more points since it’s not needed

And spread out over 2 days, no less.....Can't help but feel for the lads, strung-out over an extra & unnecessary 24 hours, just to extend the AFL's greed for more ratings, at the adoption of yet more Americana BS hype into our code.

Carlton will get Martin in PSD draft for free. If Melbourne don't draft him.
Draft night comes around and Geelong still have 14 and 17.
Pick 13 passes and Henry is still on the board...there's even some scenarios where Gould, Robertson and Sharp are all still on the board
Dockers 2020 round 1 for 14 and 17?

Geelong have to use at least 1 1st rounder this year.
