Why is it called live trade and not just trade?
Actually trades of draft picks on draft night
Correct, on the night of the draft Trader sides can "live trade" picks.
Essentially Port could say to Gold Coast we'll give you picks 9 and 10 for pick 2 and they swap there and then.
Ah nice, didn't realize they could still shuffle on draft night.
So what would be the reason you do it on the night but not during trade week?
Is it a case of say Port wait to see that Carlton don't take one of the SA boys with pick one, so then Port are now more keen for Pick 2 and happy to give up 9 and 10 on the night, but weren't willing to do so before they knew who carlton took?
And conversely, Gold Coast wanted to keep pick 2, but once Carlton took their preferred selection, they are now more willing to give up 2 for 9 and 10?
