Our draft picks - 2nd round and later picks will be pushed back

[one-eyed]

We currently have pick 29 as our second rounder but that looks like being pushed back into the 30s   if all the clubs who received a GC compo pick use them in this draft.


It is becoming increasingly likely most clubs will use the compensation picks they receive for losing a contracted player to Gold Coast.

Adelaide, which received a pick at the end of the first round for Nathan Bock, is poised to use it now rather than bank it, even though that selection will be in the high 20s because of the compromised draft.

Port Adelaide is expected to use its Nathan Krakouer pick, while the Dogs could put their Jarrod Harbrow pick on the trade table.

The GC would have to give away one of there picks i hope, because they've taken a player for that pick. I hope your not rite.

I wonder if some teams will claim their picks and then use those picks to trade for players rather than using their original draft picks, or vice versa, claim the picks but use their original picks to trade.

Ok what is bugging me is these picks, are they just conjured up new picks when they poach an uncontracted  player or are they from the Goldcoast pool of picks?

conjured up new picks owl

Yep made up picks from a compensation pool which can be used anytime within the next 5 years.

So if I'm reading it right the draft order could be something like

1. GC
2. GC
3. GC
4. Geel (Ablett compo)
5. GC
6. WCE
7. GC
8. Rich
9. GC
10. Ess
11. GC
12. Bris
13. GC
14. Melb
15. GC
16. Adel
17. Port
18. North
19. Geel (Ablett compo)
20. Carl
21. Haw
22. Freo
23. Syd
24. WB
25. Geel
26. St K/Coll
27. Coll/St K
28. WCE (priority pick)
29. Bris (Rischitelli compo)
30. Adel (Bock compo)
31. Port (Krakouer compo)
32. Haw (Brown compo)
33. WB (Harbrow compo)
34. GC
35. WCE
36. Rich  
....
53. Rich
...
70. Rich

I hope I'm reading it wrong or these clubs hold onto their compo picks until 2012 when the draft order is normalised again otherwise we'll only have two picks inside the top 50  

[Infamy]

I don't think Geelong can use their early first round pick until 2012 when the draft isn't compromised

[Judge Roughneck]

The players left at 26 will be far better than 36 onwards

[Smokey]

1. GC
2. GC
3. GC
4. Geel (Ablett compo)
5. GC
6. WCE
7. GC
8. Rich

How would we go from #6 to #8 by Geelong getting 1 pick?  Is pick #5 right?

[Penelope]

Yeah, I think you've given GC an extra pick there MT.

Perhaps this is the reason that the club is looking at trading this year. If we think about it last year which was only a slightly compromised draft we went full boar on kids. This year in a very compromised draft we are looking at possible trades. Our second round pick is going to be close to last years third round pick

Compare that to brisbane who traded heavily in the slightly compromised draft and are now looking to increase their picks in the heavily compromised draft. I thinks they got it around the wrong way.

[WilliamPowell]

I don't think Geelong can use their early first round pick until 2012 when the draft isn't compromised

Yeah that's how I read it and what Andy D said when he tried to explain their logic on the compo draft picks

I thought the Cats picks would look something like the above??

So if the Cats choose to use the picks in 2012 and they, for example, finish last, They would have 1, 2 (compo) and a compo pick before the team that finished 8th.

I also would have thought that the Eagles having a 2nd round priority pick, it wouldn't be before the first round compo picks.

[Fluffy Tiger]

1. GC
2. GC
3. GC
4. Geel (Ablett compo)
5. GC
6. WCE
7. GC
8. Rich

How would we go from #6 to #8 by Geelong getting 1 pick?  Is pick #5 right?

I think he is correct as the GC have set pick numbers and others have to be fit in around them. So if Geelong get given this compo and decide to use it this year then we get pushed back 2 places. Sucks but I think its correct.

[Con65]

fluffy i dont think that is right...

see: http://www.3aw.com.au/blogs/3aw-football-blog/afls-compensation-for-geelong/20100929-15x7e.html
