Shemons get pick 5 and Pick 25 (after bids) in 2022 = 2634ptsOK, so effectively 2 mid to late firsts for a top 4 pick. You can argue the merits of the deal either way I suppose, but 'lost the plot' is ludicrous. You'd do that deal, Melb I mean, most of the time in most drafts.
Essendon get pick 14 in 2022 and conservatively pick 15 and 16 in 2023 in a far stronger draft. = 3340pts
It is complete madness
