RFC should chase the 17yo GWS picks as 1st priority [merged]

So who decides what is "genuine" AA? 

GWS being able to get their hands on these mini-draft picks shouldn't be allowed full stop as was the intention of the rule.

THE AFL has confirmed that highly-touted youngster Jaeger O'Meara could still end up at Greater Western Sydney, although his manager Colin Young believes Gold Coast is his likely home.

The League's football operations manager Adrian Anderson says the only way such a deal will be authorised is if the Giants "genuinely" trade the first pick in the mini-draft, and then complete another trade that brings the pick back to the club.

So they have to do 2 separate trades to get the pick back.
They would have to have alot of faith in a club not to pull a fast one and pull out of the 2nd trade that would be giving the selection back to GWS.

But who checks the behind the scenes discussions to know the trades are really separate? If it's a win-win-win for 3 clubs they'll happily make out it's separate trades on different days.

I don't think they will be allowed to get it back, AA just cant say that because it was found to be a loophole.
