Prediction Possible pick swaps

GWS has enough points to match any bid on Green with their current picks. A bid at pick one would require 2,400 points to match and GWS has 6 (1,751), 40 (429), 59 (158) and 60 (146) for 2,484 points. They'd use 6, 40, 59 and 60 and get Green and pick 68 in return. In comparison, a bid from Sydney at five would cost them 6 and they'd get Green and pick 52 in return. All they're really losing out on in the first scenario is pick 40, the other picks are basically nothing picks. And this is assuming they don't do any trades for more points before matching.

Point is, Gold Coast probably aren't getting Green even if they do all of this.
Ahh. Forgot the discount when i looked at the points. Was just trying to think laterally how a team like GC could engineer the 3 best mids in one hit whilst allowing melbourne a big draft bounty
 
Not only that, Green would forever more be known as the number 1 draft pick and the two Suns players would be the second choices rather than the great hopes.

Btw, I think GWS wouldn’t get pick 52 in return if Sydney bid at 5. That becomes surplus points for GWS in this and future drafts.
As far as I was aware leftover points from a matched bid are returned as later draft picks in the same year. GWS would use 6 to match and would then have 249 points leftover (1751 - (1878 * 0.8)), 249 points falls between pick 51 (259) and 52 (246). I could be wrong though?

Not for the first pick after a first round bid is made. It’s true for all bids in the second round onwards.

Once the player has been “paid” for by the forfeiting of a single selection or multiple selections, there may be a surplus of points. With the exception of the circumstance set out below, those surplus points are converted to another selection in the current National Draft using the DVI.

The exception to the above point is where a player is bid for at pick 18 or earlier and the Club’s next available selection is worth more points than the value that must be paid to acquire the player. In this case, the surplus points are not converted to a selection in the current National Draft, but are retained and used to offset any deficit arising at the conclusion of this National Draft or future National Drafts.

Thanks for that. So it reads like they'd still be retaining points if they traded 6 for 14 and 17 from Geelong or 12 and 18 from Port but they'd just end up with more points? And that there's no expiry date on the retained points.

Can’t see port giving up 12 and 18 for pick 7 after what we’ve given up to get those picks

imagine it’s more like 12 and 29

Can see GWS's pick 6 being in play too, especially if it's likely to be useless with the Green bid more than likely going to be before then.

Why not just pick at 7?, then grab Crows 23 and 28 for 10.

No need to throw pick 7 to the wind.
Gives Freo the chance to get Jackson at 4, which is starting to seem unlikely at 7.

No way anyone is giving you pick 7 or 8 for just 12 and 29.

Remember, 12 and 18 is what it already cost to get pick 6.
