The AFL rule that is stopped 10 clubs from live trading

Could theoretically work in our favour. For example, 2018 pick 28 and 2019 MFC 1st rounder for a 2018 top 10 pick. Some big talent in this this year's top 10. A club with no 1st rounder in 2019 might want to get back in there to fit into the '2 x 1st rounders in any 4 years' rule.

Or maybe I'm just overthinking it...

    Not overthinking. It might work if we did, say 2019 first rounder and 28 for say a pick 12 to 14 and early to mid 30s. This would give us a current first rounder, an early second rounder and a possible third pick before having to bid for Toby Bedford.

    The number of spots we need to fill might also influence a move like this. Then there's leaving a place for a mid season draft pick up, if that's in the club's vision.

    I'm all for Jason Taylor getting us into the top 10 or close to if he can. There's every chance Corey Wagner will be added to the list December 1 under the new SPP rules which reduces space by 1.

    Sounds like it. He's pulled out of the draft, so signed by someone!

    I'm struggling with the story, particularly as the first sentence states "...due to the [AFL's] strict rules and regulations". Since when did the AFL ever have "strict rules and regulations"? I thought the whole idea was to have a fluid set of rules which could be bent whenever it is deemed necessary by Gil, Hocking and the whole Commission.

    With Wagner now added to the list, I'll put my left one on the line and say we have something arranged to trade back into the 1st round on the night.

    Might happen, but I think your left nut should be very nervous mate

    This is such a bad rule.

    I like that every club has to have 3 national draft picks a year to make sure they bring in young talent.

    I like the rule requiring 2 first round draft picks in 4 years, even with the vague notion that the AFL can allow teams to break it with permission.

    That's enough restrictions. If a team wants to trade 1st, 2nd and 3rd round picks from a future draft then let them. Particularly if they are using those picks to move up in the current draft and bring talent in.

    The AFL have brought in trading and tried to spice up the draft, it's not only a fun idea but it's good for clubs as well. Teams can back themselves and pay the price for a certain player and bottom teams can get full return for their valuable picks if trading down. Silly to add a protection that restricts top teams from making bold decisions.

    I thought the rule was that clubs must bring in 3 new players. Could include trades

    It's still very tender Moons, but I'm sure I'll get the balance back in my movements eventually and stop walking around in circles. It was the small one after all.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
