The trade period shook up the draft order significantly as it always does and that has continued in the following weeks with teams allowed to exchange picks right through to draft night.
Yesterday, Brisbane sent picks 66 and 68 to Collingwood for pick 70 in a move that gives the Lions some more cushion for Academy players.
In a trade that raised eyebrows on social media, Gold Coast traded pick 27 to Geelong for a future third round selection that could be as low as 60 next year.
Their justification was that they weren’t going to take the pick to the draft anyway and wanted to get something for it, though the AFL system allowing such a lopsided traded is something that potentially deserves further scrutiny.
The Suns also traded pick 37 to Sydney for Carlton’s future third round pick.
GWS sent picks 29 and 52 to the Bulldogs for pick 26, Adelaide traded 56 and 63 to Fremantle for a future fourth round pick.
The Crows also sent pick 66 and its future fourth round pick to Brisbane for pick 63.
