A Trade Rule Question

I am just wondering how the AFL signed off on the Luke Jackson trade. Hopefully a fellow Demonlander can enlighten me.

It's been all over the AFL website that Port Adelaide's early mooted offer of their future 1st Round pick & future 2nd Round pick be a part of the potential "Mega Trade" that would've seen JHF get to Port.

However the AFL knocked it back because a club is not allowed to trade it's future 1st Round pick & any of it's future 2nd, 3rd, or 4th Round picks at the same time. Likewise, if a club trades a future 2nd, 3rd or 4th round pick they would have to hang on to their future 1st Round pick. (That's as I understand the rules)

So.....how did we get Fremantle's future 1st Round AND future 2nd Round pick in the deal for Jacko?

    simple. freo had 2 f2 picks (1 was traded in)

    so freo still have a f2 and a f3 pick

    also i believe in some cases (trade of young player?) they might give permission to break this rule. remember afl can always make on the spot exception rule changes when it suits their agenda....it's the afl afterall 🤣

    Freo trade Logue for North’s future 2nd.

    Freo then had 2, so could send us one.

    Many clubs have done so previously.

    In 2019 we traded Frost and a F4 for a F2. Then traded a F2 for Langdon and a F4.

    As we were neutral on future picks we could then trade our F1 to North for the Pickett pick.

    They refused Port’s request for an exemption due to AFL bylaw:

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
