Just trying to revisit the late live trade we did, to make a bit more sense of it. I can't find actually when it was executed, which matters a bit- although I thought I saw it go through on the draft tracker, I can't find it today. It makes a bit more sense now, as it turned out to be our last slot, which I wasn't aware of at the time. So we may have just positioned ourselves for the best slot available, which is laudable. Or as Shane put it, they just wanted to knock off early.
But as per the below, I presume it was prior (pun intended) to pick 58, as of the 17 live trades, it is listed before West Coast trading up to 58. At that point, Jaxon Prior was still on the boards, he later confirmed our interest in an interview, but Brisbane took him at 59, and kyboshed that. Can't really complain, the live trade was obviously friendly. But we may have been still looking at him to that point.
15. FREMANTLE gains Pick 61. BRISBANE LIONS gain a future fifth-round pick.
16. WEST COAST EAGLES gain Pick 58. ESSENDON gains a future fourth-round pick.
17. WESTERN BULLDOGS gain Pick 62. HAWTHORN gains a future fourth-round pick
As per the original draft order below, (numbers aren't really relevant, it's the order) we shifted ahead of Hawks and Port with that live trade, whom were both 'confirmed' in the media as interested in Frederick. Both teams subsequently passed after our selection, with Hawks still having a slot on their list. In fact, Hawks traded 62, but I can't tell if that was after our selection.
63. Hawthorn
64. Essendon
65. Port Adelaide
66. Fremantle
67. Carlton
68. Brisbane Lions
So mission accomplished.
