"It's official. Father-son paperwork has been lodged: Jed Bews (Geelong), Dylan Buckley (Carl) & Tom Mitchell (Swans). Bid meeting Mon 10am."
No-one messed with their father son picks... why the stuff do they mess with ours...
Settle. This is just the first stage. The important one is the Bid Meeting on Monday.
If no other club offers a bid then Tom Mitchell would go to Swans for a late pick.
If however another club bids a first round for him then Swans would have to offer their pick that follows the other offer if they want him.
It's exactly what happened with Mitch Wallis and Tom Liberatore last year where the Bulldogs had to use their first two picks.
I think the clubs decide amonst themselves what's a reasonable pick and get someone to nominate around that range.
If we had nominated Morris then Port could offer their pick 33 and we would have to decide whether to use our pick 37 or let him go to Port for 33.
The way the club have done the deal with GWS we don't have to play and have all our picks intact (excepting downgrade from 14 to 15).
