helps our bargaining position for further on-trading to get into the first round

melbourne's 25+28 = 1433 points (equivalent pick 10)

north melbourne's 26+30 = 1338 points (equivalent pick 11)

But couldn't we have gone 28 + 31 + 43?  This equals 1661 or pick 7.

    I'm confused.  If 25 = 756 points, and pick 31 and 43 = 984 points, then if we're looking to trade with doggies, then we've gone backwards?

    Can someone please explain?  Think I missed something.

    What do you mean by gone backwards?

    Points are really only a value guide for father son and academy players. If you're worried that we have given more points to get to pick 14 or whatever it may be, then you probably just need to remove the points value from you train of thought and simplify it. Kid at 14 is probably better than either at 25 or 28. And we will have a target or two in mind I'm sure.

    25 = 31 + 43 because 25 is actually 28, 31 is 37 and 43 is 52.

     

    Ooh, I just realised a whole other way to play the academy pick game. There are several clubs with preferential selections expected to go in the 20s. If we have 25 and their dibs pick hasn't come up yet, they'll be keen to get that pick in live trading ahead of the point where they have to pay out. 

    That wouldn't matter if they could only trade same-year selections but if you introduce a 2021 second round pick into the equation it can work out really well for everyone.

    They get a pick in the 20s in a draft they would otherwise be excluded from, we get a pick around the 20s in what will very likely be a stronger and obviously much better informed draft. Steak knives change hands to balance it all but the core of it has the style of the modern MFC.  It's actuarial-level trading!

    Would still be nice to have one properly early selection but this deal would be hilarious in its simple-complexity.

    Maybe the thread title needs to be changed to "Welcome to Demonland Picks 18 and 19"?

    We now have 18, 19, 28 and 50.

    How about that. Whats next???

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Recent meetings between Melbourne and Carlton have developed a striking and somewhat familiar narrative, underscored by a series of closely contested encounters ultimately decided by narrow margins. The Blues have won out on each of the past four occasions:-

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
