I'd suggest we didn't do that deal because we believe we can do better.
It is also worth noting that while that is a good deal for Collingwood, it is also pretty handy for us.
Collingwood now have 3 picks before our picks instead of 2, so if Daicos is bid on before Darcy our picks 43, 44 and 45 move two spots forward instead of 1 (They will then all be pushed back 1 when a pick is generated for Darcy). Also, confusing as it is, they are all effectively the same pick because each one will disappear and be replaced by the subsequent pick as part of the matching process. This means we effectively now have 3 pick 42's to match with instead of 3 pick 43's. Pick 52 will also improve by one spot due to this trade, all of which totals to an additional 64 points on the back of the Collingwood Richmond trade.
Assuming Daicos is bid on before Darcy. Appears GWS prefer to go tall with their pick so there’s a not insignificant risk they bypass Daicos and go straight for Darcy.
So our three back to back picks in the 40s are all essentially the value of the highest one as the latter two move forward as the one in front is used? I didn’t know that. I thought they were all applied simultaneously. Is there somewhere online where what you’ve said is confirmed as the process? Not doubting you FYI, it just hadn’t seen that before.
