Adelaide have given up their first 2 draft picks voluntarily. Improves our draft options. Will the AFL go easier on them now. Maybe the Tippet thing wasn't Sydney's fault!

I imagine the real reason for giving up this years picks....20 and 54 relatively ordinary picks.... is that with out all the concession picks etc, they will have better picks next year and beyond.
To pass it off as a 'gesture of goodwill'...is laughable.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT
Improves us by 1 so it must be a good move.
What a joke, are they even allowed to do that ?
And is there a source for this ?
AFL website has a new draft order just out and we move up to 22 picks in the 40s go up 1 and picks in the 60s go up 2. Nice result, there will be more to choose from at every pick!
I can only think that they reckon first round pick will be the penalty so better to give up 22 this year than say 12-14 in 2013. Pick 54 is starting to get into hope territory so no big loss.
Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09
Since when can you choose your own penalty?
The Adelaide board on Bigfooty is worth a look, think it's the thread about "what do we do with pick 20". They are in meltdown over what's happening.
They are all in love with a local Ben Kennedy who they hoped would slip through to them with pick 20 but could now slip to us at pick 22.
The angst being felt that BIG BAD Sydney could snare both their draft hope and Tippett is hilarious.
