Once you got past the option of having an uncompromised draft because, you know, you're dealing with father-sons, NGAs, Northern Academies, so once that was established that they would remain, then it was about what was fair value.

So that was the debate.

It's about fair value.

And still the clubs, and obviously Port have got a good player in the draft and so have Carlton in this year's draft, and so that was very topical for them, but they've still got access to those players.

And under this system, they'll still get them.

And so the only thing will be that they won't be able to pick farm and get players for 32, 33, 34.

They're going to have to pay closer, you know, use their first pick and perhaps the second pick to get it done.

If it was today and where the ladder is, they're pick three, they would need three and 27.

We knew at the time, even in Brisbane, that that was very generous, that you could do that.

And so part of that is, in that scenario, you've got to make the call to get Levi done.

If you had pick 18, if you'd won the premiership, you've got to trade down to get pick 11.

How do you do that?

You've probably got to lose a player.

So then you make the call, do I want to lose a player?

to get a really good player, or do I just let him go through in the draft?

So that's the philosophy.

You can only use two picks.
