Im curious what will be the affect (if any) will the induction of West Sydney team have on the 2009 priority draft system?

If melb were to win fewer than 4 games again next year would the club still be entitled to a priority pick?

Rule:

If a team finished with fewer than 16.5 premiership points in two consecutive seasons, then their Priority Selection is taken before the First Round

    West Sydney doesn't come in for a few more years so next years draft isn't affected by them or the GC (from my understanding)

    Read in the paper the AFL are considering postponing the induction of the 2 new teams in light of the "financial crisis"

    West Sydney..should it ever eventuate. will have no affect on 2009.. Nor at this writing will anything affect the priority picks. This may change as a result of review by the AFL into PP's in general but nothing as a result of the new team(s). Even GC17 isnt cemented in stone at this moment...only the intent ! Splitting hairs some may think..but thats the case.

    ye woops i meant the GC not West Sydney...

    thats great news if the teams arnt being introduced any time soon! I thought it was a done deal...i remember reading on "realfooty" that the AFL was trying to entice some draftee who originated from the GC to postpone being drafted this year and allowing himself to be immediately eligible to be selected by GC17 next years draft.

    GC are only allowed to preselect 12 17 year olds next year; clubs will also not be allowed to draft 17 year olds. Any player who is eligable to go into this years draft will be over 17 next year and beyond GC's grasp.

    • PREVIEW: Brisbnae

      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.
