A Trade Rule Question

Go Dees!!

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:

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
