In the first of our series of daily trade specials, Peter Ryan and Marc McGowan dissect the deal that sent pick four to the Bulldogs and why the Dogs paid so much for it, why it's easier for clubs to get higher compensation for free agents this year and the free agency quirk around Lachie Schultz, who wants to become a Magpie. Plus, the case for wiping out compensation in free agency, how likely it is that North will trade up for pick one and will Port and Essendon go old school with a trade this year?
