[Little Goffy 14,574]

For quick reference -

33. Melbourne 

42. Melbourne 

52. Melbourne

91. Melbourne

Presumably that will somehow become picks 12, 65, 70 and a 2022 second rounder by the time of the actual draft night.

One can only hope 

[WA Demon Boy 966]

OK so how can we get Finn Callaghan lol 
 

[rpfc 28,477]

It warms the heart that, in a year Collingwood finishes 2nd last and we finish top 3, they have their first pick behind our first pick…

You'd have to sell the farm

Picks 33, 42, Tom Sparrow & a future 1st to the Crom

[PaulRB 6,371]

Can someone update me on how we ended up with the picks we have this year..? Please :)

[TRIGON 4,783]

We did a deal with Brisbane in last year's exchange period to trade first-round picks – the Lions sent picks 18, 19 and a future second-rounder to us in exchange for our future first-round pick, No.25, 68 and 69.

Which they traded to ...? Gold/West Coast..?

P.s. so Lions sent 18 (2020), 19(2020), 33 (2021) for

Demons picks 25 (2020), 68 (2020), 69 (2020) and 18 (2021)

If we cross out the pick 18 (a years wait) i.e. got Bowey a year early.

we traded 25, 68 and 69

for 19 and 33

A good deal.

So, a minor boost for Melbourne because our first pick is linked with a second round pick traded with the Brisbane Lions last year.

As it stands, our first pick in the draft is now number 33.

[3183 Dee 2,853]

I can’t believe (actually, I can) that Gold Coast get yet another draft concession with a free hit at 19 as well as picks 3 and 22.

Has this been confirmed? I know that these were being reviewed annually.

They're still garbage so you'd assume it'll be retained as originally intended.

Not sure anything can help them though.

Well, they won 7 games this year and didn’t finish last so they’re not a basket case 😀

Look I am being a bit harsh on them. 

They have improved but still underwhelm  and AFL will do everything in their power for them to succeed so imagine they will get their final concessions this year. 

Otherwise the vultures will circle and they'll be back to square one again.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,054]

I couldn't remember why we didn't have a first round pick this year, so I went hunting.  Turns out Brisbane gambled on us having a bad year.  They gave us picks 18 and 19 in the 2020 draft, along with their second round pick this year, in exchange for our first round pick this year and picks 25, 68 and 69 last year.  Basically gave up 18 and 19 in return for pick 18.  They must be just a little peeved at us winning the GF.  🤣

How this trade hasn't gained more attention I don't know. 

If Laurie ends up looking the goods we're laughing. Essentially a freebie on top of Bowey.

Ironically enough, Bowey would be a great replacement for Birchall.

Now that we have Dunstan, do we only have 2 picks in the draft or do we have to offload someone like Baker? Hope Andrew doesn't get picked in the top 20 so we can recruit him at 34 and then recruit Woewodin at pick 45 and then we are done? Taylor has it easy this year he does deserve it though.
