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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
