In terms of a points deficit solution ...
There’s got to be a play we can make with Adelaide using pick 22. They’ve already got 1, 8 and 20, and then whatever they get for Crouch - likely to be around 20.
We then offer them 22, which they can bundle with others around the same mark to get another first round talent.
They then have a surplus of later picks starting at 29, 44 and 50.
A swap of 22 for some of those, which they aren’t likely to use anyway if they have four or five earlier picks, would get us extra points.
And if we have to throw in a third round from next year to juice the deal, so be it.
So something like 22 + next year’s third round for 29, 44 and 50.
It’s fairly balanced in total, but gives us an extra 400 this year.
