Not so sure. Melbourne did very well
Frockers gave up pick 13 F1 F2 for Melbournes overrated Luke Jackson

We were lucky carlton and Melbourne picked who they did, we didn't control our fate, but in the end we got the last laugh.
If we keep getting screwed but we become successful, I'll take that every day of the week.
There's alot to like about Langford.Consistent performances throughout the year the standout.The problem and not his fault is we're a slow side through the midfield and we're losing 2 of our quickest on field in Rioli & Bolton.
I would say though that i'd have Langford before Smillie.
Cool...didn't mean to come across as a smart-a... The speculation is great to pass some time away but its best for my little brain to just wait for the actual real trades to happen...I'm off to watch some wet paint.
In principle we were, in outcome it was a Matrix-like bullet dodge - except courtesy of a Blue pill.
Screw principle. We won 3 Premierships off the back of that draft. Blues didn't. MFC kept being assisted by the AFL until they scraped 1 in and have subsequently imploded into a basket case.
Well not exctly. AFL have full discretion. I don't think though regardless WC are offering Battle or Perryman type deals to Graham
Good post. Devil's advocate - aren't they saying this year the top 15-20 are all guns? So, better to have 4 or 5 or even 6 picks?
Still say if Lions dont come to the party and do us a solid we nominate Levi as our first pick and make em pay FULL price. Dont understand our clubs mentality. If they dont help us whey shud we continually get screwed and play the nice guy card. Owe these wankers nothing especially after 2022 final rubbish call.
I certainly don’t fully understand intricacies of the draft - all the points etc
Nor do I understand the pros and cons of using our first pick on another clubs F/S
So how does it work if we were to bid on Ashcroft - then have Brisbane come in and claim him - followed by us then choosing the next bloke in line?
In that scenario - who ends up being referred to as the official “No 1 pick in the 2024 AFL Draft” - Ashcroft or our (second choice) bloke?
Does that matter?
I must have read somewhere that it might be seen as a slight to our bloke in despite being our first choice we bid on the other bloke?
I’ve got no idea - so happy to learn something here
I am with you.Things have changed since Wilo and GR went out and recruited what we needed.
Anyone else hearing JGTI is staying? 
Levi Ashcroft would be considered the #1 pick, our guy is the second pick. It matters in the sense clubs should keep other clubs honest and make them pay a fair price for that pick. We bid on Levi at 1 to force Lions to use the most points on Levi because he is worth that price. So Lions have to use their equivalent picks to match the bid at Levi at 1 which is worth 3000 points. So they’d trade out 18 because it’s a high value pick for later picks that add up to 3000 points. They get a slight discount because he is a FS selection.
