The 2017 round one pick GWS traded to us for Deledio was originally Geelong's - so it will be relative to where Geelong finish on the ladder. The AFL will not take it off us.

The 2017 round three pick GWS traded us for Deledio was originally their's - so it will be relative to where GWS finish on the ladder. The AFL will not take it off us.

Neither of these picks nor their order will be adversely affected by the AFL stripping GWS of draft picks....in fact the only thing GWS being excluded from the draft can possibly do to those picks is actually move them up the order....

Worst case scenario for us - Geelong beat GWS in the GF....we get pick 18 & 53 from the Deledio trade...but if GWS are stripped of say, their first two draft picks - then it's 17 & 51.....and we still have our own first round pick as well, which will likely be in the top 10...
