Draft Deals 2024 - How to turn a paperclip into a house
- Thread starter Dyer'ere
- Start date
Hey it looks like you are trying to draft an AFL team
Would you like to
- blow up the list and spend a decade on the bottom through a new team entry
- pretend your list is better than it is and sign overrated players by trading out your draft capital
- hope one of your players has a gun son or two
- swap codes
Clippy is here to help!
By using the box method.
Here's how it works:
At this point, all they can think about is the box. They yearn for its mysteries. It haunts their waking dreams. They have a fever, and the only prescription is to take the box.
And so they take the box.
And the tigers walk away with two 1sts, a future 1st, a meat tray, and a free car wash.
It's negotiation 101, people.
Here's how it works:
- You write down 2 potential deals. One is market value. One is ridiculous overs.
- You put the overs deal in a box.
- You show the market value deal to the club you're
fleecingnegotiating with - You say "You guys can have this deal. Or.... you can have what's in the box!!!"
- You then say "We think you should take the box" just to mess with their heads.

We unwind the paper clip n threaten to stab the eyes out of any list manager that doesn't deal favourably with us. Win - win - win situation for us.
We might have to pay Colina's medical bills to get that one over the line i think.
The first pick that we are in line for is Brisbane's Nominal #14.
The AFL has incentivised not bidding on a FS/Academy player at #1 by paying a sum to the #1 selection. If RFC wants Finn O'Sullivan it is incentivised to pick him at #1 thus rewarding a player who is at the club rather than sending that sum to say Levi Ashcroft who will play for Brisbane.
So. It is not corrupt when RFC does not bid on Levi Ashcroft at #1. And so Brisbane will just pony up their first for our picks 80-126 if we offer not to bid.
Can we bleed them for something better?

Make Kamdyn McKintosh list manager.
Worst case scenario we get ourselves a boat.

Ashcroft has a legitimate claim to the No 1 spot which means Brisbane will need to trade in the extra picks to cover the points and we are about the only game in town when it comes to that.
I’d be looking at their future first amongst others because we need to spread the risk over multiple drafts and they do have an aging core and it’s always fun death riding another club.
FWIW I reckon he's a standout #1, TF. That's looking like the mainstream view atm. He have to take a bribe! And death ride Brisbane.
Stand outside the dunny doors, and as the other teams come out, we bash em steal the picks and run off.
Even better - If Brisbane lose and WB, Haw, Carlton win, pick 14 becomes pick 11.
True, Harry, but then Ashcroft, Battle, Lombard and Kako push it out to 15. The Bears will just have to trade it up to a better pick!
There's gonna be alot going on -
- Graham - FA to WC - band 3 compo - 2nd round pick after ours - pick 22
- Bolton - Trade to Freo - picks 9 and 10 (pick 9 tied to the pies - it could drop to pick 7 this week)
- Rioli - Trade to GC - picks 5 and 20 (we also promise to not bid on Lombard). Give em picks 57 and 65 for points also.
- Baker - Trade to WC - pick 3 and 24 for pick 7 in return
- Brisbane - no bid on Ashcroft - pick 14 (could be 11 if Bris lose) for picks 39, 41, 48, 73.
Could potentially have picks 1, 3, 5, 10, 11, 20, 21, 22, 24
Blair and Toce gonna be real busy.

Biggest qn is how many do Toce/Blair intend to take. You'd think min 5, but if they really like someone or two, could be 6-7.
Considering how deep this draft is. We will load up with as many top 25 picks as we can.
This could be the most compromised top 12 in AFL history, toothless. Leaving aside expansion years. That said I am harping a bit so I'll leave it alone for a while.
