So when you say "Priority Pick News," what you really mean is "I don't know anything, so I thought I'd make a thread about it."

[Bluey's Dad 3,419]

This thread contains no priority pick news.

I was going to start a thread "Welcome to the Melbourne Football Club: Priority Pick", but thought it premature.

Starting to get the feeling we won't get one.

We won't get a priority pick.
If we do it will be end of first round. 0% chance we will get Pick 1.

There is too much negative press about us getting a priority pick, and the AFL is already giving us millions of dollars due to our incompetence. We've already had more first round picks and priority picks than any other club except the expansion teams.

People are kidding themselves if they think we'll be getting one.

We have been given Roos on a silver platter because of the state of our club.

Things will change without a PP and I'm happy we won't receive one. We should pay for our pathetic actions.

And we aren't paying now for our actions? How much more self flagellation do you want? Me I have had a gut full this year, no AFL team has ever trawled lower depths of ineptitude than we did this year. I'll take any help we can get.

[Goodvibes 3,596]

I'm starting to think we might actually get one. Why? We haven't heard anything public out of the MFC about the PP since the Roos announcement press conference. If Jackson and Roos thought it was in trouble they would have gone public. They haven't. I think they know how this one is going to turn out.

[Notorious D 29]

I don't get the argument that says because we haven't done well with past early picks we shouldn't get any help. It's not the fans fault that we've been a basket case, why punish us. We have changed administration and coach, surely the new management should not be disadvantaged by past incompetence. Based on performance over past 2 years we should get a PP. If not us this year why even have it as an option for the AFL.

Not sure I can agree due to Andrew Dimwits public and very poorly worded response about 17 other clubs saying no, even though Redleg has pointed out that he actually said something less categoric. What is he up to? He is part of the Commission that will consider our application. Is he lobbying the rest of the Commission? He would know the secret formula and that we surely qualify but it is still a discretionary decision by the Commission and so the decision can be influenced.

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

If the AFL is comfortable that we will on-trade the PP for an experienced player from another club (ie, assist us in the immediate midfield rebuild), and somehow a deal is also done which enables GWS to secure Boyd, we might be a sneaky chance to get the PP.

Otherwise I reckon the better view is that we won't be getting one.

They've given us loads of money which has landed is Paul Roos.

They've given is Peter Jackson who is sorting this mess of a club out off field.

We can now walk on our own two feet thanks to the AFL.

Lets start building the list on our own now.

stupid dumb thread , can it , if you don't know the answer to that , well , ah grrr nuff dumb stupid threads on here ,

[Fitz Fitzpatrick 886]

it was part of the deal presented to roos to get him over the line. We are getting an extra pick but it will not be pick one. Sounding like it will be end of 1st round at this stage

I agree with this, it is looking like the best possible scenario.

Can I also say, you are one attractive person Munga.

Only you and my mother have ever told me that, Django. Touched.

On a serious note, rereading my last post sounded like i had a source. I dont - it is only my opinion on where i think things stand at this stage.

I agree with you as this is also my opinion. I don't think the AFL will be game enough to give us a top of round one selection as too many clubs will get rowdy and complain about it. An end of round one makes sense as it will replace Essendon's selection anyway and therefore clubs are much less likely to be up in arms about it. I'd welcome any kind of priority pick myself.

The AFL has already got their media to answer the question for us, it's died down now.

We won't be receiving a priority pick.

[CBDees 3,167]

Why do GWS want Boyd? They look like their FF might be named 'All-Australian'!
