Thanks for that TP, good to know.TigerPort said:We have our's and GWS's third rounders.
Given the respective positions on the ladder we have the following point position:
Our's 287
GWS's 220
Total 507.
After pick # 18 the discount is fixed at 197 points. So adding 197 to the combined value of the 3rd round picks we have 706 points
Pick #27 is 703 points. So right now is Naish gets bid on at or after pick # 27 we are sweet.
We can also use our 4th round pick which is currently worth 69 points. This elevates us to pick # 25. Any bid higher than pick #25 and after our two first rounds means we would go into deficit in the 2018 draft.
Using your example above and a club bids at #18 then we need 985 points less the discount of 197 = 788. our two 3rd rounds plus our 4th round total 576. We would then go into deficit for 2018. Say we finished 4th in 2018 our pick #15 would drop to pick #21
