Draft Picks Question?

Assuming we finish last this year, we would obviously aquire pick 1 (Natununi), but what draft pick selections would follow?

    We can finish last and not get pick #1. Richmond and Carlton still qualify for priority picks under the new draft regime.

    Impossible to say this early who the top 10 will be. Injuries could play a factor in where a kid is drafted.

    Assuming we finish with less than 18 points, we would qualify for a priority pick after the first round.

    So, Carlton and Richmond tanking notwithstanding, we would have #1, #17, #18, #34, #50...

    pick 1: Nicholas Natanui

    pick 17: Charles Shaw

    pick 18: someone else as good

    Can we stop this never ending argument?

    How about we all say 4 wins 18 losses and we get a shiny toy surprise. Any more and we don't.

    2009 is going to be a thin draft. I'm conflicted on what to do, trade up then or now? Not at all?

    2010 will be a fat draft (because of the increase in age) for the clubs with picks 6 - 13 and 16 - 30. But 2011 and 2012 will be back to a normal draft and if with the concessions still in place we better be on our way by then.

    PS. I am in favour of giving teams that lose players to GC and WS compensatory picks, but it's difficult to arbitrate that. I'm sure clubs will bring it up.

    it will stop if people dont get it wrong. 4 wins and a draw wont get us the pick.

    I did say LESS than 18, deanox. Since 16.5 is impossible to achieve, I thought it was just as poignant. If you can deduce a way to get between 16.5 and 18 points, thus rendering my statement inaccurate, I will accede to your superior knowledge.

    Just say, NOT MORE THAN 4 WINS.

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.

      The Demons return to Melbourne and the hallowed turf of the MCG where they face dual reigning Premiers Brisbane on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
