You think we'll win less than 5 next season?

Even with this list, I doubt that'll happen.

even if we do all clubs will be disadvantaged by the draft concessions they are receiving... if you finish 9th next year, rather than getting pick 8 you're looking at pick 18... wheras if you finsh last you get pick 4... what's a bigger drop? 1 > 4 or 8 > 18?

If for example next year we finished last with 3 wins and West Coast got more than 5 wins. Would we get picks 1 and 4?

I have seen enough evidence this year to suggest it would not suprise me in the slightest if we end up with fewer than 5 wins next season. I'm a realist. There needs to be a big improvement for that not to happen. I wouldn't mind picks 1 and 2 in 2009 draft if it happened to occur, for the record.

I could be wrong but I think we'd end up with picks 1 and 5. GC17 get picks 1,2,3,5,etc so we'd get a priority pick GC17 would then have 2,3 and 4 and we'd get 5

There is a problem still with next years draft (i think):

I'm not 100% on this but the age of eligable players is being moved 6 months older, which will reduce the number of players who will be available for the draft.

I don't think it will have a massive impact but it is still not good for teams relying on the picks.

Do you know if they will get the draft concessions in 2009 or 2010. Because if in case we dont (which i hope we do) win more then 4 games next year then i dont wont to be stripped off the right to have priority picks 1 and 2. Thoughts Please?

Gold Coast hit AFL draft jackpot 28/08/2008 | LIVENEWS.com.au

Australian Rules Football

The AFL’s new Gold Coast club will get a massive boost from the 2010 draft, after being awarded the first three picks among nine draft selections.

The team will also have access to one out-of-contract player from each of the AFL’s existing clubs.

The formula was agreed upon by the AFL Commission this week, with seven of the league’s 16 clubs being involved in the sub-committee to devise the plan.

In all, the Gold Coast will have draft picks 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15.

The last-placed team in 2010 will have pick No.4, while the champions will have to be content with selection 25.

Does anyone know the seven representative clubs of the AFL that were involved in the sub-committee to devise the plan including 9 of the first 15 picks??

No, don't care who they were.

However there's a huge potential to trade for picks in 2010, some players may like to go home or some may like to relocate to warmer climate, (Newton) or some may want to elongate their careers.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
