I thought I'd explain the draft points situation for next year.
There are four priority access players: (pick value is a guesstamation at this point)
Ugle-Hagan (say pick 3)
Stevens (say pick 25)
MacPherson (say pick 30)
Raak (say pick 35)
That means JUH 2,234 (less 20% discount) = 1,788
Stevens 756 (less 197 point discount) = 559
Macca 629 (less 197 point discount) = 432
Raak 522 (less 197 point discount) = 325
-------------------------
Total Needed: 3,104
Say we finish a bit higher next year, with say pick 14, 32, 50 & 68. That's 1,161, 584, 273 & 59 points =
-------------------------
Held Draft Points 2,077
Deficit of 1,027 draft points.
If we do nothing, this deficit will kill our 2021 first rounder. If we trade picks away on trades for players, it will kill our 2021 1st & 2nd rounders. I don't like the sound of that at all, hence I don't advocate trading any picks next year unless there's a draft points trade.
My two options are, as per other threads, getting St Kilda's 2020 second rounder by facilitating them with picks to get the players they want from other clubs. That's worth about 700 draft points. So we are still more than 300 draft points in deficit.
So I'd trade our 2020 1st (14) & 4th (68) to GCS for their 2nd, 3rd & 4th. 1,220 draft points go out. But 948 (19), 483 (37) & 207 (55) draft points come in. That's 1,638 draft points coming in. That brings in 418 extra draft points.
Thus these 418 points narrowly avoid a deficit, and our 2021 first rounder being impacted, reduced or eliminated.
So to me the key is not trading out any picks from 2020, brining in another second rounder with St Kilda looking a decent chance and then draft points trading either this year or next to send out our first rounder for 300-400 more draft points seeing as Ugle-Hagan will burn through that pick immediately. With no deficit, our 2021 first rounder in tact and some potential retirements by then, we have good picks and some salary cap to do whatever is best in 2021.
But this is just my overview.
