Their is no doubting the growing chorus of football coaches, players, commentators, analysts and supporters who want to get rid of the PP. Michael Voss the most recent.

Certainly the AFL will have to eventually bow to public pressure and change the PP system, or even take away the PP.

Maybe i'm being paranoid, but could the AFL change the PP system before this year's draft, leaving us with no PP even if we qualify for it?

This would be grossly unfair, but with every day mounting more and more pressure on the afl to get rid of PP, it seems a worrying possibility!

Please someone tell me that i'm being paranoid and this could not happen. Surely any change to the system would have to happen after this season?

You're being paranoid and this could not happen.

Won't happen.

And even if it was tried - we have an army of high priced lawyers as supporters who would give their time to make sure it didn't happen.

Nope they can't change the rules for this years draft. It can't be proved we tanked. I bet Adrian Anderson will be chatting to dean this week though. I have noticed that Mick Malthouse has had his say on some of our moves yesterday. Everyone will be watching us this week though.

If the AFL took away the PP for this year it'd be giving support to those who suggest AFL teams do 'tank' games.

There's no way the AFL would do this.

They won't change the PP for a very long time, not while they are about build the Gold Coast, West Sydney and Sydney look shaky. Once those clubs start to stand on their own 2 feet then it will change. The Swans have been up for a long time and won a premiership this year has proven how quickly Sydney supporters jump off their team. The priority system works and they won't want these clubs on the bottom for too long.

Nice one. How do you find those clip things, did you just do a search on you tube for that or have you seen it before?

Would they accept other sides stealing draft picks off their beloved GC?

Yeh, I've been wondering about that, what happens if, say, Freo wins 4 games this year and next - do they get pick 2 in the GC draft? If somebody could clear that up, it would be appreciated.

For the 863rd time... there will be no priority picks for at least the next 2 seasons... (I can't remember if its 2 or 3...)

I think the AFL should say now that we can definitely have the Number 1 pick, and then they can have a pre season to think about a new system. Then Melbourne can go back to winning games knowing that we have the pick secured. I think it will work best this way.

You're answer to a corrupt system is to corrupt the system?

This will not work.

It'll be over this Sunday one way or the other...

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership.
