Adrian Anderson on 3AW who knows what the "formula" is says it's unlikely we'll get a PP.

I think the 'formula' he is referring to involves his own dislike for the MFC.

Might be a rather biased formula that factors in Brock McLean, Gillon McLaughlin and Andrew Demetriou.

How do you justify not giving a team a PP when they have won 34 games in 7 years, and beaten 1 top 8 team in 7 years, that's pretty scary.

when do we find out if we do it?

The day of the Brownlow they meet to work it out.

They can't and shouldn't be able to bring up the tanking situation as we were found not guilty

I think if there is any chance of getting a PP the afl will say it needs to be traded or nothing

Request for pick a bit Cheeky- Andersen

You know I reckon I could be forgiven for thinking lil ol Adrian is still smarting from his FAILED attempt at a witch hunt.

He certainly has no kindness for us, and Adrian, the love is returned 10 fold.

Umm Adrian,,,,you dont run things.......remember ??? :rolleyes::)

Well it did cost him his job.

His argument is based on the fact we were investigated for tanking not based on the formula which would surely see us given at the very least an after first round PP.

Yep cost him his job and he'll take pot shots whenever able I feel. He brought ti upon himself. He failed to take heed of his Imperial leader....his bad !! lol

He keeps dropping articles about this and that. Must feel emasculated and a need to feel relevant to the game..

Hes become a footy media type stalker.

How can we be punished over the tanking when:

A- we were found not guilty

B - the administration involved during this period of time is gone

Only our results should be taken into account, and our results are deplorable.

And why weren't Carlton and others investigated for tanking?

Hutchy last night on Classified suggested Melbourne would not be getting a priority pick. "Won't happen, don't worry about it. No chance." Demetriou gave nothing away on Talking Footy.

Ross Campbell (aka Stevenson) on this morning's 3AW 'Rumour File' said quite emphatically that Melbourne would not be receiving a priority pick!

Since the invention of the priority pick, there has NEVER (by a couple of light years) been a poorer sustained on-field performance than which the MFC has dished up over the past 7 years, and worsening over the last 3!

Based on this, there has NEVER been a clearer, more logical reason to award a PP than to the MFC this draft period.

But it won't happen..........why?

Because the AFL is as much directed in it's decision making by emotion, driven of course by the media, than anything else. The current administration tries to negotiate a passage between objective reasoning, and populist reaction, which takes little account of reason. Sometimes successfully (Bombers?), sometimes not (MFC non-tanking).

They want to please as many of the people as much of the time as they can, whilst making as much money as possible. Not a bad goal I guess, but fairness will often be the victim.

Assuming we gain a priority pick and we have picks 2 and 3 do we put 1 pick on the table for a gun afl midfielder like Dale Thomas or do we put both pcks on the table since we are in desperate need of 2 gun AFL mids???

Not dale thomas !!!

If we get a PP,,, P1, or P3, I'd like to see us On-trade hypothetical Priority Pick for a mature topshelf Mid.... But use Our 1st National Draft pick on a kid for our future top end talent.

& take 2 mature mids from free agency.

Pick 3 for David Swallow and pick 10

Pick 1 for Mark LeCras and Andrew Gaff

Pick 10 for Taylor Adams

3rd Round pick for Anthony Miles

    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.
