wow GC killing it
It seems GC have exploited the rules smartly once again to give Brisbane more than what was in the papers this morning. GC got Brisbane to agree to release Brennan as a 2nd uncontracted player (remember it was meant to be only one uncontracted player per club) so they could also give Brisbane another compo pick along with Collingwood's compo pick. The trade of picks 5 and 10 were just thrown in to make Brisbane happy.
So the whole trade will be ....
Collingwood: Krakouer, John Ceglar (200cm, 19 y.o.) ..... for ...... Fraser, Pick 25
Gold Coast: Brennan, Fraser, Pick 10..... for........ Krakouer, Ceglar, Pick 5
Brisbane: Pick 5, compo pick (Brennan), Collingwood's compo pick (Fraser)..... for ...... Brennan, Pick 10
So the AFL giving these new clubs license to grab uncontracted players and players from outside the AFL is effectively a licence for them to print picks at will trading these players back to existing clubs. A loophole to the point of being a rort. Having said that GC seem to have some very smart cookies able to grab these new trade and draft rules and exploit them to the tilt.
