Where did it say they will use it at their discretion, I can't find that part.

The AFL using it at their discretion....i don't like the sound of that at all....just gives them more control...

But then i didn't like the priority pick either..

The Answer is to stay further up the ladder and strive to be good....Waiting for handouts is a sure way to die.

Perish the thought - at Vlad's discretion !!

Such an honourable and open minded man - not.

Surely Port deserve one if they have an awful season. Stuck at the bottom through two compromised drafts as the two new clubs pick up all the guns.

Agree, however I suspect that they would appreciate the AFL pouring in a couple of million dollars even more. Given the development that is now required to get the best out of young players a priority draft pick alone is not going to change the fortunes of a financially struggling club. MFC being a good example where debt demo, sorting our training facilities and development systems will have a greater bearing on our success than picking up Tom Scully (aka two draft concessions) will have...

"Anderson said a formula would be developed that will take into account such factors as a club’s premiership points over a period of years (with greater weight to recent seasons), its percentage over a period of years as another indication of on-field competitiveness (with greater weight to recent seasons), any finals appearances in recent seasons, any premierships in recent seasons and club injury rates in each relevant season."

So they are going to give a formula rather than use the discretion of the commission. Sounds like progress to me. I don't know what the outrage is based on.

Which club is most often represented in this list?

Nick Riewoldt (2000), Luke Hodge (2001), Adam Cooney (2003), Brett Deledio (2004), Marc Murphy (2005), Dale Thomas (2005), Matthew Kreuzer (2007) and Tom Scully (2009)

Not a Melb player amongst them.

Access to priority picks should be determined by the number of years since the club has won a premiership (alternatively if no premiership, the number of years since the club entered the competition). Get priority access until you win one, then go to the back of the queue! ^_^

Western Bulldogs

Melbourne

St Kilda

Richmond

Fremantle

Carlton

Adelaide

North Melbourne

Essendon

Brisbane

Port Adelaide

Sydney

West Coast

Hawthorn

Collingwood

Gold Coast Suns

Geelong

Greater Western Sydney

Just in time too, with this years draft being really good (apparently). Will no doubt also increase the value in trade situations.

....a formula ( not specified) that will "take into account" etc etc.....take into account, but ultimately at the discretion of the Mafioso.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
