AFLW - Trade

[kruddler]

From my understanding all the interstate teams aren't interested in picks coming their way.

Come draft time they only pick from the pool of girls that have nominated to play in their state.

So giving Bris our 10th 12th pick means nothing. They would be picking the girls at that pick anyway at one of their picks.

The interstate clubs want players not picks.

But the victorian clubs are more than happy to get the interstate picks because they are picking girls in which there are 4 clubs vying for pick positions.

If for example GWS get a deal from a Vic club for their 1st & 2nd pick that club would have the 1st pick in the draft  (& 1st in the Vic pool of talent) and then GWS 2nd pick which would be pick 9 overal (but pick 6 in the Vic pool).

There in lies the power the interstate clubs can give the Vic clubs.

I believe all the above is true.

However, the lions COULD ontrade those picks to OTHER vic clubs for players as well.
Essentially a 3-way deal.

Say Harris -> Carlton
Picks (from carlton) -> Melbourne
Player (Melbourne) -> Brisbane
Throw in Jakobsson -> Brisbane...and that deal is pretty close.
