With the season getting closer and closer, I want this idea sorted out before OUR season gets underway.

Additional information can be found in the thread that was started by D2T ...
3 new ways to increase excitement

At the moment, I just want this voting to be on the trading of future draft picks.

It will allow teams to trade draft picks that have not yet been allocated.
ie. Melbourne recieve: Player A and Round 2 Draft Pick, North Melbourne recieve: Round 1 Draft Pick

This will free up trading massively, allowing teams to have an all in shot at short term success, or other teams to go for long term gains.

D2T has already volunteered to keep a thread up to date with traded picks, so that won't be an issue.


This is something that's going to affect everyone so cast your vote here!

I'm for it - i don't expect it to start heavily influencing trading until late in the season, however.

Just worked out how to add a poll :) My first one ever.

I'm voting yes as well. It'll be a great addition to our game, and will help with trade flexibility.

Agreed. I understand the reservations some people have about it, but in the end, people who want to keep their picks are allowed to do so obviously. They're not forced to trade them.

Also, call me an optimist, but I reckon that by having the ability to trade picks, our competition will become a lot more even.

Lets use an example....

It's Round 16 and Cleishy is looking good for a possible premiership assault, he's sitting second on the ladder and feels he is just a player or two away from challenging for the premiership. He shops around his first and second picks in the draft and manages to net Adam Selwood and Cameron Bruce from the Kangaroos.

With the added scoring power Cleishy boosts his short term chances of success tenfold, instead of having to wait until AFTER the season to give himself that boost.

On the other side, D2T who is a middle of the road side sitting 10th, picks up two earlyish picks that he can use to pick up some great new talent in the upcoming draft, or even use as trade bait himself by coupling it with the picks he already owns to land a big gun.

I'm yet to see a major negative with this idea.

Yep exactly the same as trading draft picks late in the season.

Only negative I can see is there might be a temptation to throw games at the end of the season to ensure picks but I'm fairly certain it would be obvious and easily dealt with.

Not too keen on the mid season draft though. If you delist players mid season then cop it and wait til the end of season.

Also....not sure what you mean by the first line in your post? Are you saying that this idea is already the same as what we have now with trading picks late in the year? Because it's not.
Hmmm not sure I agree with the temptation to throw games....because isn't there a temptation to already throw games for picks? If I get you're first rounder for example dtm, I can't control what you do with your team.....so what I'm saying is, me trying to tank isnt going to make the pick I gain off you any lower.

But anyway I agree, it will be obvious to pick teams up on tanking.

And like I've said.....the midseason draft was just a secondary idea.....I'm still more than happy to just have the ability to delist players without any type of draft mid year.

Yeah I see your point d2t. What I meant was say I got your first round pick and we were playing. There's more of an incentive to throw the game for me.

Actually just writing this I realize there probably is no extra incentive so no, I can't see a reason not to do it.

Yeah isn't that the opposite? You'd rather win? Because you'd want to push me further down the ladder so your pick ends up better?

There is no major negative.

The only potential problem is keeping track of it all, especially when a new coach comes in. But if the list of traded future picks is kept up to date that should be no real issue.

I am assuming that you can only trade for picks in the upcoming draft? so I can't trade one of my players for a second rounder in this years draft and a first rounder in the year after?

In all likelihood the players who would be in a potential mid-season pool wouldn't be of much worth though. I doubt they'd be players who wuld get a game for instance.

Yeah I'd say just for the upcoming draft mate, otherwise people might go a bit mental and offer up their next 5 first rounders for Ablett or something haha.

I've already volunterred to keep track of it and keep it all up to date in an easy to read format, so there won't be a problem there.

Yeah exactly, I was suggesting that this years draft was the only way we could do it.

Yeah I realise that...but a decision like this probably takes more than just the bare majority...However the way its looking so far its hard to find anyone who has a problem with it.
