So Carlton think they deserve a priority pick too. If they get pick 2 for Kruezer, the priority pick, and Brisbane get one too then that would be the top five picks going to two clubs. Surely the AFL won't be that stupid as they can see the damage the compromised drafts did in the last few years, then again it is the AFL we are talking about.

I think we should put a request in as well as we have been worse than Carlton since 2006. That might put the cat among the pigeons!

[Moonshadow 17,641]

Yep, PJ should do so as well. Show the system as being irrational.

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,664]

Carlton and Brisbane would be derelict in their duty if they don't apply. But if the MFC couldn't get a priority pick after our 2013 season, I can't see how anyone else can.

If nothing else, the AFL should recognise that having a discretion to award a priority pick should be abolished. There are better ways to assist clubs who perform woefully, such as helping them recruit a decent CEO and coach.

Won a final in 2013.

They can get absolutely [censored].

[H_T 3,042]

Maybe if we won a final 2 years ago, we would feel it "vital" that we apply & receive a PP too...

[daisycutter 29,491]

they shouldn't qualify until they have won 10 wooden spoons

did get a good laugh though

probably doing it to itry and nfluence any fa compo

.....lols.....

I don't think any team or more importantly any group of supporters should have to go through what we've been through in the last decade. (except of course Essendon supporters).

The AFL needs a robust competition with turnover at both ends of the ladder.

A 3 peat for Hawthorn is boring.

I still reckon the best way to equalize on-field fortunes is through a compromised draft, ie by pumping draft picks into the bottom clubs until they rise.

I think Carlton need a lot of help.

yep. Quite probably...It is after all just a 'game' ....foxing etc. All about lobbying and influence etc.

[Adam The God 29,716]

How ridiculous.

[TheoX 1,222]

They should be sanctioned for even asking after making the finals a couple of years ago.

No chance. Carlton played finals in 2012. Nuff said!

I agree but it's not just Carlton who need help.

[Little Richard 6,220]

Maybe they'll cite Cripps losing the Rising Star award as another reason they need one. I'm sure this will be endorsed by the whingeing supporters.

[Dr. Gonzo 23,977]

Doubt the AFL would award them one after they tanked in 06/07. Although friends in high places and all that...

They'll probably get pick 2 for Kreuzer if he leaves though so it will all work out.

[rpfc 28,087]

Jackson should put a request in for lols and to make a point.

I'm serious. This is a ridiculous request.

[Demon_JB 1,364]

They are doing it to ensure they get band 1 compensation for Kreuzer if he walks through free agency like we did with Frawley. They are dreaming though

That's the thing though. I'll go berserk if they get one.

[Demon trucker 1,800]

They know they won't get one its a ploy, last year Mark Even said we would not get one because we were going to get a band 1compo for losing chip, so there thinking is ask for a pp then the AFLOAT will say no but we will give u a band1 compo for matty kurser, same with Brisbane with burger.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

They really are a pack of scumbags aren't they

[P-man 13,366]

lol..this is the stuff of comedy.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Hope it backfires horribly on all parties, the AFL give no priority picks and the compo pick for Kreuzer ends up pick 19.

Ultimately, that's reasonably fair.

[daisycutter 29,491]

is the request by the scum a case of "brnging the game into disrepute"?

The draft actually seemed to be working fine until the new teams got everything on a silver platter for years, it artificially held the top clubs at the top and the bottom at the bottom. We may see this go back to the normal rise and fall over the next 5 or so years, just a pity the hawks were one of those held at the top!!!!
