Can someone explain in simple terms how we get walker and blues miss out?

Would love to bend them over.

We finish last, they finish in the vortex of mediocrity- say 7-11th.
We bid with our pick 1 which is 1400 points more than pick 7 (for finishing 11th) and they need to effectively trade for pick 8 to get the points to match it.
The difference is you only get 2 picks whereas in years gone past you could use as many picks necessary.
It’s a great adjustment
"The money might have been better. But, at the end of the day, Richmond showed faith in me. It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”

I’m not so sure we finish last. Melb could be us last year ?

Maybe but was explaining how we might get Cody Walker

If we finish last in 2016 we could also claim a priority pick a la WCE……
But we won’t finish last IMO
