This trade values Trent Rivers and Jack Viney together at 1,027 points, about what Pick 14 is worth.

One trade can't say how to split that between them.

The future picks in it count at their projected points.

Implied by the trade, not an official value: the AFL puts points on picks, never on players.

Projected points value a future pick as its club's pick of the same round in the 2026 order, as if the club finished the same way again. They are not the pick's points: those wait on how the club finishes, and the 2027 draft adds Tasmania and a new points table.

Points guide a trade; they do not decide it.
