Gold Coast will officially be my most hated team. They are literally getting a premiership handed to them on a silver platter. If they don't win a flag within 4 years of being in the competition, it will be a miracle. They will be unstoppable for 5-6 years.

Good Grief.

That will get GC worried.

Worst case of melodramatic overkill ever.

i think two years of dismal performances is enough to qualify for a priority pick, three years is a tad too long. By the time your picks are having a real impact, you've been in the cellar for half a dozen years, that's a very long time when you think of sponsorships and memberships. Need to have that light at the end of the tunnel.

Let's just be concerned about our list and what 'we' intend to do. We can't influence anything or be worried about what is happening outside of the Melbournefc.

Build a strong list and put all the effort into what 'we' can influence. Ie. Better resources, facilities and player development.

Rubbish

The debacle with the Gold Coast situation is the main reason I am happy with our to decision to 'experiment' in the later rounds.

So what if we lose to also-rans Richmond and Nth Melb? We're mugs if we don't get a priority pick this year, especially when GC will be handed an equivalent of 20+ 1st round players over the next two drafts...

btw, the PP 'is' the no 1 pick...
