The AFL has granted North Melbourne future draft picks that must be traded for listed players as part of a special assistance package approved today.
The AFL has handed the Kangaroos a 2023 second and 2023 third round pick that must be traded to another club or clubs, for at least one player, under a draft assistance package aimed at making North Melbourne more competitive quickly.
That's a pretty crappy assistance package,
Brisbane got an extra end of first round (19th pick) in 2016 that they traded in a series of deals and finally wound up with Zac Bailey and Cedric Cox
Gold Coast who got — Picks 1 (priority) and first pick of the second round of the 2019 draft. A mid first-round pick of the 2020 draft and first pick of the second round of the 2021 draft. Many of the later year trades were traded away by GC for not much apparent benefit. They also got some additional academy access including Darwin as an academy zone.
