The whole business of draft pick trading is a bit strange. I’m thinking that Melbourne must have conceded that someone is going to take Mac Andrew inside 20 because it doesn’t seem to be making an effort to accumulate picks if that doesn’t happen. 

If a miracle happens and he gets past 20 we have more than enough points to take him and Woewodin with some left in the kitty.

Because clubs whinged and whined about compromising the draft and the advantage to the Bulldogs in drafting Ugle-Hagen at pick one so the AFL did something about it. Clubs are now prevented from matching bids on NGA’s in the top 20 (next year it goes to 40). Personally, I think that’s a gross over- reaction.

 

 

  

Watch now as all clubs (bar those exempt) completely desert the NGAs.

Amazing more scrutiny was not put on the NSW/QLD academies, with Sydney picking up Errol Gulden & Braeden Campbell, and Blakey, Heeney & Mills in previous years.
