It's not a loophole, trading picks is a fundamental part of the system. The points system was supposed to provide flexibility and increase the costs for the expansion clubs if they have multiple top picks from the academies & fs ( read Mills and Dunkley). Thereby ensuring that a perceived domination of the competition by the expansion clubs could not occur. It completely overlooks the fact that the academies only produce lots of top picks for one club, and that was by the AFLs own design. Eddie is a failed administrator who shoots from the hip and he is a danger to the competition as a whole.
