This trade values Flynn Riley at 42 points, about what Pick 52 is worth.

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.
