This hasn't been the process for a few years now. If you want to upgrade a player from the rookie list you just have to have an open list spot.

Therefore, the pick doesn't actually get used.

True, a list spot is needed which we have.

But a draft pick needs to be 'used' albeit as high as 6th or 7th round. 

That upgrade 'draft selection' counts as one of the 3 minimum players each club needs to draft.

[BAMF 4,349]

The Dees have given Port Adelaide picks 33, 43 and 53 in exchange for pick 27.

 

 

 

"We have today been involved in a pick swap that sees us improve our hand in this year's draft," Melbourne list manager Tim Lamb told Melbourne Media.

 

 

 

"We have been able to do so by bundling three selections, including two that we did not intend to use at the national draft this year.

 

 

 

"It has always been our philosophy to try and improve our draft hand every year and we're pleased to be able to acquire selection No.27 through this trade."

Trades out - 1200 points  #33,43,53

(equivalent picks total to pick 14) 

Trades in - 700 points #27
 

hmmmm I thought we’d use pics to bundle up points to see what we’d get from the Lions who need points 

Is pick 27 enough for Grundy !!??? I thought Pies wanted a pick inside top 25 at least

I'd be guessing that Brissy will probably swap picks with Gol Coast, who have a heap of picks in the 2nd and 3rd rounds, as compared to us. I'm sure we probably asked the question of a few clubs and Port must have come back with the best offer.

[Little Goffy 14,522]

Strange times.

One can only guess that a whole string of clubs have reached in principle agreements on what they would need, and now it is all being shuffled around, while a whole bunch of points-picks are getting ready to be hurled into the fireplace.

Looks like once again we'll have that weird situation where picks 15-30 or so are all pushed back a few places by the early bids, while picks 30+ start to compress as a dozen picks get cooked out for the academy sauce.

 

[BDA 22,743]

Makes sense. Bundle up picks we're not using anyway for 27 which we send to the pies for Grundy.

No messing about from the MFC. Just getting it done. Freo should take note.

[Kent 2,909]

We get Grundy because they want him gone simple and we don't need to over pay.

[Jaded No More 68,906]

If we were only going to use pick 33 and nothing beyond that, then why not turn 33 to 27? Who cares about the late picks we would have passed up anyway. 
 

[Supreme_Demon 3,837]

An interesting move. 🤔

Perhaps Melbourne will on-trade pick 27# to GWS for Toby Bedford and pick 21#?

Then trade pick 21# to Collingwood for Brodie Grundy perhaps?

 

[Cheap Seats 3,310]

Love it or hate it. Dees get deals done 

[titan_uranus 25,011]

If you accept the Club when it says we weren’t going to use 43 or 53, then this deal is smart. Super smart.

I've forgotten, did the Pies say they wanted a pick for Grundy inside 25 or 21?

25

[HarpenDee 249]

Points schmoints 

If we are using 27 for Grundy (or onto GWS with Bedford for 19/21) then no doubt we have spoken to those clubs and they have said theyd rather pick 27 than our three picks (despite being worth more points)

All the talk is that this draft has no depth so perhaps the extra late picks not as valuable as other years

[layzie 33,794]

Welcome to MFC Grundy. Could happen tomorrow 

[buck_nekkid 5,858]

It also means we have nothing extra to offer the Grundy deal.  Here is 27, we have no other 2nd or third rounders.  But happy to give you a fourth rounder!  Deal done!

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. 

....Bang!

The pick for Bedford is part of the #27 swap.  As it will become a pick int he 40's its final value is a lot more than the points it currently has. 

Just saying we paid a hefty premium for # 27. 

Not so sure LH Reckon 27 is Grundy's to Pies snd we are not taking  44 off GWS yet for Toby. Still have 52 from WC For flexibility to repay back in a deal.

The opportunity to edit a post expires after a few hours but not sure how many, maybe 4 hours...
