Just as long as you are fine with it. That’s what matters.In my opinion, some fans are and some fans arent.
Fine with your Roo's having early round one access and being able to match a bid.
I think you missed part of post.Just as long as you are fine with it. That’s what matters.
So we don’t get a priority pick, but we can match a bid on Sanders in the first round? And that’s our assistance package? We get to burn pick 17, for example, that we got through being shafted by our number 1 pick last year?
I find it amazing that other clubs who benefited massively from priority picks in the past, actually think that they shouldn’t exist any more, or the rules should be tightened or blah blah, just because it’s North that now require a little bit of assistance. It’s incredibly insulting.
So are you advocating for a beginning of the first round pp?I think you missed part of post.
I agree you shoud get one first round pp, like the rest of us. Plus early bidding access to Sanders if you chose to match. That in line with other Melbourne clubs.
An none of us will get a say so it will he what ever the AFL decided.
So either you think we get pick 1 + Sanders match + pick 2 + pick 3 for McKay (which is excessive)...I think you missed part of post.

... or you are saying that we get a later PP that we then match Sanders with, which is basically the exact same thing as letting us pre-list him.
Thats way more than what people are talking about on here.In my opinion
You already have pick #2. And the unknown McKay draft pick if you dont match.
Priorty
You add a PP #4 ( could be 3)
Why pick 4 you ask? No PP before any club whom has 24 point or unders. From memory this use to be the guide for all clubs to get pp, an helps those clubs still struggling.
Plus early access to match a bid for Sanders in the first round, if the Roos choose. I think it would still cost you something, but not his true value.
I have seen others asking for more. But i dont have the energy to look for the post.Thats way more than what people are talking about on here.
That could be McKercher, Watson, Curtin and Sanders.
Oh righto....i must have misread. We won't get first round PP, although I agree we should. I'm not against us having to bid on Sanders under those conditions, but cant see any way the CorruptFL will give us first round PP. We should def be granted it though, but wont happen.I think you missed part of post.

Convenient for everyone if the media push him to be the No.1 pick really…Sanders has gone from top 10, to top 8 and as of today today, top 6 all within a week…
When is the afl likely to announce something like this? Because if it did go through, I’d imagine it would interrupt drafting plans for 16 other clubs.
These other clubs should s**t their ducking mouths ! Upset the integrity of the draft they say??? We have been denied access to the number 1 pick more than a few times after finishing stone cold last because of father sons and academy selections. That doesn’t compromise the integrity? And what the * does us having lots of other top 10 picks already on our list have to do with any arguments against more assistance ?
They can all get stuffed as far in I’m concerned !!
I think that’s a fair compromise, we get a PP after our first, McKay compensation after our first and can match Sanders with ports pick.So either you think we get pick 1 + Sanders match + pick 2 + pick 3 for McKay (which is excessive)...
... or you are saying that we get a later PP that we then match Sanders with, which is basically the exact same thing as letting us pre-list him.
He also struggled with how the existence of a PP made it possible/palatable for Frei to trade pick one to Hawthorn.Wait. Wasn’t this the same hawthorn poster who said they only received one priority pick earlier this week? But actually has two and then went quiet?
He’s back?
I think that’s a fair compromise, we get a PP after our first, McKay compensation after our first and can match Sanders with ports pick.
So we go to the draft with pick 2,3 and 4 and match Sanders with ports pick.
exactly, whether or not there's funny business on the mckay compensation, this is the actual assistance. A top ten pick without the need to match bids.It's fine to throw out there as a tactic (or in this case, go along with a Hawthorn supporter who suggested it) but we are not getting a PP after our first as well as access to Sanders. Access to Sanders is in lieu of a PP. That's our best option because a first-round PP is surely off the table. The AFL wants "creative solutions" so they don't have to stand up to the whingers at other clubs who don't want us to have a first-round PP.
This is only a small part of the story. It doesn’t take into trading of PP players and that return which is used in the draft, or that a PP represents not only another shot at top talent but the versatility to take a safe AND risky option.

Just let us pick Jed Walter. We need a KPF. Then we'd be happy to give Sanders a miss.The plus Saunders without matching a bid.
Mckay is fine as long as its based on his contract. No tweaking from the AFL.
