Are You Kidding Jaxons

[ace]

Just to be clear we are legally not allowed to trade our future first pick next year.

ARE YOU KIDDING JAXONS
Either Round 1 OR any number of later rounds BUT not both round 1 and later rounds ?
how did Melbourne get away with trading their 2020 picks
Round 1 to North
Round 2 to Fremantle
Round 4 to Hawthorn

Was this a result of
1. a rule change making this now allowable
2. the AFL has made a mistake on their website
3. the AFL is serially corrupt having failed to cancel the O'Meara trade because they knew Gold Coast would lose O'Meara in the pre-season draft for nothing.

I called the O'Meara trade on Saintsational, on the HUN comments and the AGE comments on the day of the trade.
No mention by the CORRUPT media reporters protecting the AFL until a week later when at the end of a different story in the HUN, AFL recognition of an "error" was slipped in.

I think that there is a loophole now regarding not more than 2 years running. I am not 100% sure.

If so we traded this years first but used our first the year before.

So if I am right then we can trade next years first but then we would not be allowed to trade it the following year.

NONE of the above is based in hard fact but just hearsay from unreliable sources!

If you don't believe me read this article.

The other clubs impacted will be Carlton, Essendon, Fremantle, Gold Coast, St Kilda, Sydney Swans and Western Bulldogs - seven teams that have already traded away at least one of their 2020 selections. Due to that, all seven clubs will not be allowed to trade their future first-round pick, unless they replenish the specific round future selections they recently lost.

ok.. I also dont seem to understand the rules..

I think Melbourne had two first rounders in 2019... So over a two year period, 2019-2020, they will have 2 first rounders.
Which I take as legal. And other rounds are therefore not affected.

Saints had 2 first rounders in 2018, so did not need to use a first rounder in 2019.. in 2018-2019 we had two.

But why coundn't we trade our 2020 first rounder for someones 2019 first rounder?
I mean.. we have no 2nd rounder in either year.... So one of the two we have no first or second and the other, we have a first but no second... why does it matter which order that happens? i.e 2019 no 1st no 2nd 2020 no 2nd... compared to 2019 no 2nd 2020 no 1st no 2nd

I am clearly missing something.. but the rules seem strange

It seems the rules only apply when the AFL want to apply them. Its similiar to the salary cap and payments ouside the cap which they also make when it suits them. I have said it for a number of years the AFL has grown that rich & powerful it needs an overseeing governing corruption body - like a specific arm of ACCC.
