The calumny of the AFL's priority pick policy

[Coq au vin 755]

Yippee!

Kingy has just informed of the us of the bad news.

Pick 2 is not ours

Massive news! this changes things considerably.. we keep pick 2 and get one of the guns or our Pick 2 is more valuable than any other pick. 

[Demon3 2,541]

cancel that.. pick 3 it is..

[AshleyH30 566]

I may have read this wrong. Are they getting pick 1 and 2 or not. They said they weren't on trade radio.

[Mazer Rackham 14,971]

Teeming hordes in red and blue pouring into Gosch's as I type. Cops concerned about riots, civil disobedience. Stock markets plummeted. Premier kept notified of developments.

Yep, their priority pick is pick 2.

 They are getting a great ride here by the AFL

[AaronDaveyChipsAndGravey 390]

Nope. Apparently they get pick 1 in this years draft, which bumps the pick they already have to 2. We are now at pick 3

Doh!

Incredible hand out considering some of the blame for their position should be on the Suns. Eg trading Lyons. 

[Adam The God 30,120]

Source?

[Bay Riffin 1,472]

Unbelievable really. They had a good hit at the super draft and now this. Top 2 seem clearly the best. Victorian players. Can you believe it? 

[SFebes 4,884]

Lol they still get pick 1 and 2 this year

[qwerty7 326]

It’s odd they have split Rowell and Anderson - maybe we have made an agreement to give them pick 2 for King?

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,684]

Shocking, he initially didn't read out that pick 1 was a priority pick, this is crap.

Move on now.

[billyblanks29 184]

Yeah very misleading that first tweet. They get picks 1 & 20 as compo picks, then their real pick is pick #2.

They had me at hello, and flipped the script.

[Dr.D 1,771]

Seemed way too good to be true

[ArtificialWisdom 4,045]

Let's not sugar coat it.

First and last picks in round 1 this year then a middle round 1 pick next year and another end of first round the following year

They can call it round 2 all they want but it's essentially 4 first round picks

It's three years of draft assistance includes:

• Picks No.1 and No.2 at the 2019 NAB AFL Draft.
• The first pick of the second round (currently pick No.20) at the 2019 NAB AFL Draft.
• Mid first-round pick (currently pick No.11) at the 2020 NAB AFL Draft.
• The first pick of the second round (currently Pick.19) at the 2021 NAB AFL Draft

That is two priority picks this year.  One at the start and one at the end of round 1.  The public dialogue was about either the start or the end.  Staggering that they get both!
