Looks like they have used a simple and transparent formula to come up with this.

Pretty sure that's the one!

They must have recruited Stephen Hawking onto the commission.

Just posted it for future reference Tottie. No doubt there will plenty of interest in the value of picks and points.
 
It's probably just for comparing value numerically, but who worked out this formula? There seems to be a huge difference between 1 - 4 and between the top 10, when most players would virtually have the same ability in skill. Jack Watts (and others) as number 1 proves it.

Academy kids. They're rated from good to rubbish. And if they're rated good you need to have that Value to secure them.
The Brisbane kids are rated highly therefore Brisbane need a first rounder and a few second rounders

An example from mrposhman on the Jake Carlisle thread:

mrposhman said:
Yep totally pathetic. If you just use the academy bidding as a guide, they were giving Pick 5 (1878 points) and wanted 23 and 25 back (1571 points) so were essentially offering the equivalent of 307 points for Carlisle or Pick 48. Ridiculous offer.
They are banking on the fact that Carlisle would rather go to St Kilda (getting more money there) and think they can use that as leverage.

Essendon will just refuse to trade with them and take picks 15 and 18 from the Hawks.

Gee the Saints are dumb. How have they stuffed this up so bad!!

The calculation leaves 307 points which compares Carlisle's value as a pick 48....which he definitely isn't.
 
I still don't get it. is it a fantasy footy kind of thing?

No. There is real time bidding occurring for academy picks.

Eg. Brisbanes academy picks Keays gets bid on by Port / Gold Coast at Pick 10. Brisbane don't have a pick until 17, so they put up 17 which is worth 1025 points but pick 10 is worth 1395 points so they are in deficit by 370 points which they have to make up with other picks.

Its an attempt to make teams who have academy / father sons picks with more realistic costs to them. For example, on the old system, Brisbane would get Keays and Hipwood with their next 2 picks after the bid, they will have to pay a lot more than that this year.
 
What are academy picks? Actually doesn't matter. Too complicated for me. I'm lost for sure.

More academy picks. If the clubs with academy kids decide they really want those kids then they can match a bid from another team but have to pay the equivalent of what the other team bid (less a 20% discount). Ie. In my example above (which I forgot to apply the 20%) is if one of their kids is bid on with pick 10, then they have to pay the equivalent of pick 10's worth less 20%.
 
Wonder who the mathematical genius was that fudged the points system. Thousand points differential between first n fourth, then a thousand points between fourth n seventeenth.
Since when did the first four kids in the draft walk on water compared to the rest?

I think it was Champion Data who came up with the formula.
I believe it's for FS picks as well as academy picks. Also gives some indication of player value in trades.

Nah, the formula isn't on that board.

This is the actual formula:

Points=3000 - 697 x loge(draft pick number)

Try it on your caculators boys and girls. It works.

in this example Lions would also get a discount (20% I think) for developing the talent in its academy.
 
if you search AFL father son bidding system, you can find a document that explains how the points were determined.

from memory, it is based on the historical performance of each pick (how many games, how much they got paid etc), and also cross checked against previous trading of picks

Rosy, it is used for father son and academy players.

If another club bids for a father son, the father's club must match the equivalent number of points, after a 20% allowance.

So if another club bids pick no 1 for a father son, the fathers club must find picks to match 2,400 points (3,000 less 20%). For example, pick 6 and pick 28.

On the points system we almost certainly lost value trading 31& pick 30-35ish (assuming we are good again next year) for pick 19

the points system is irrelevant unless you need points.
