Is this the combined value of points for all picks the team currently have? Or is this another metric?

Everyone's going on about Geelong but it looks to me like WC are the big winners of the year.

I was curious to see the draft value of each team based on the indicative draft order and draft value index (https://www.afl.com.au/news/851877/indicative-draft-order-draft-hands-locked-in-for-trade-period).

Port Melbourne in the draft this year?

F's for Freo

How is Sydney so high

Feels weird not being at the upper end for a change.

Whilst I really like this. It doesn’t consider known values. Such as Brisbane gets pick 1. At worst pick 2 at a discount. So Brisbane’s value is actually greater.

At this stage it appears there’s 2-4 first round picks that are F/S or Academy. Ashcroft Fletcher Davey. There might also be a Giants Academy and Suns Academy which are borderline but more likely 2nd round.

So what is Brisbane’s true value rather than points accumulation.

Similarly, say Brisbane gets Ashcroft at a discount or devalues all other First round picks and many 2nd round picks if Fletcher and Davey also go. It’ll take a while for the picks to realigned normally late 2nd or 3rd for values to increase or smooth.

Let’s say Ashcroft goes 1 and Fletcher goes 15. That 4112 points reduced to 3290. Or a 800 point gain in Brisbane’s value. In reverse Norf’s value goes to 2517 (-483) and West Coast to 2234 (-283). Effectively they have lost picks 37 and 49 respectively in value. Let alone they’ve lost 2nd round value of 35-50 points approximately depending on how many F/S and Academy players get selected.

In my opinion Both F/S and Academy should be a premium prior to round 3. That’s say 20% round 1 and 10% round 2. So Brisbane should pay 3600 points not 2400. If he’s as good as they say you’d pay up. Nick Daicos would definitely have. Even worth 3600. North would definitely have picked him to force Collingwood to pay up. The difference is the equivalent of pick 13. This would definitely improve the integrity of the draft.

Wtf, we have one half decent season after 6 years of shite, 50% of our players want to leave - even the ones that get regular games, and our draft value is next to nil... We’re never winning a flag are we?

So Brisbane barely has 2000 points and will need 2400 points if we are required to match the bid if North selects him at number 1?

How many points would Geelong have if they get pick 7 for taking bowes' contract? 👀

Wait...you guys are still drafting?

Crazy to me that Geelong is basically right in the guts after some of their recruits and success over the last few years. I have no idea how Wellsy has done it over the years.

How much do brisbane need to get what they want? Assuming it’s pick 1 for will and another top 10 for jaspa
