Interesting trade, we must be getting a fair hall for Jackson and Bedford.

So our picks for now are 27 & 51?

I’m on the record as predicting the Gawn/Grundy combo won’t work (mainly because of Max being an ineffective forward), but if we can get Grundy for 600k and essentially pick 27 then I’m willing to take the risk. That’s a bargain. 
 

Also remember that pick 27 will blow out to about 32 once all the academy, next Gen and FS get bids.

Grundy for pick 27 would be a steal.

Much better then the original discussion of having to give up a 1st rounder which I was highly against. 

Wonder if we'll package up a future 2nd also?

Sounds like we want the Grundy trade done before the LJ one, so we can't be hassled over the LJ picks.

If we give 27 for Grundy, does that mean we are currently without a pick?

Great strategy if that's the case.

That is a lop sided trade.  We give up picks worth about 1,200 points for one worth about 700 points.

I would have thought whoever is getting pick 27 would do better with the picks we swaped

Odd.

You need to give clubs some incentive to downgrade their pick, you can never 'win' these pointswise

Almost like the points system is junk. 
 

53 - 0 points in this draft

43 - the minimum steak knife to get 33 to 27

Yep, 703 points vs 1174.

[Bang Bang Bang 5,561]

I’m pretty sure the original pick swap which got us Kosi Pickett was a clear loss on points value. That’s why you ignore them.

I reckon it's too early to say. Let's see what happens with that pick.

Not necessarily.  With 3 F/S and 1 Academy player in the top 20 a lot of mid range bids will be chewed up by matching bids. 

So a pick in the low 50's will come in to something in the low 40's.

Not to be sneezed at.

This blows trade week wide open. And some people thought we were just sitting on our backsides, but this………….wow. Ingenious. 😁

I was comparing on a straight points basis of the swap.

I'm sure the club has a plan for #27 but I'm surprised to give away such a big premium in a pick swap.

[Lord Nev 13,511]

Pick 27 and a future 3rd (which would be say pick 50) = Pick 19 points wise.

Reckon that's a fair deal for Grundy. Fingers crossed.

Pick 27. It's just such a vibe.
