I haven't been following this whole tanking saga lately but do know that if we are confirmed tanking by the AFL we could lose pick 4 and 26 (Viney). I could only imagine the reaction if we lost Viney but considering we have already reserved pick 26 for him I'm not sure if the AFL can take him any from us.

Thoughts?

I think we'd get Viney as long as we have one pick in the draft, as the AFL cannot change the father son rules just for one instance. Hence we'd be using our first pick which would be 88 or whatever if this were to end badly, though I think we'll be okay.

Cheers, was starting to get worried. Pick 4 is still a worry though

what about Hogan?

It is extremely unlikey there will be retrospective losses of draft picks. If the club makes the required administrive restructure, any penalties may be relatively light assuming guilt is established.

Mods.

This subject matter is covered elsewhere.

Why do we need more of this speculative crap when the club has yet had the opportunity to put its case and when no decision has been handed down?

Agree, and the AFL know this.

If the AFL were to take draft picks off us it would set us back even further then where we're already at and we'd eventually need priority picks off the AFL again (which is what's the cause of this whole saga in the first place!) . The AFL say they're committed to 18 clubs, but if we were stripped of our picks & Viney it would tear away the soul of the club and supporters would loose hope, which in turn would mean no one would turn up to watch us play.

You'd think any penalty handed out would be of a financial nature and the sacking of certain individuals with the possability of a suspended sentence of draft sanctions maybe?
