Strategy Draft assistance 2023 [Twomey: NMFC get #19 in 2023, x2 end of 1st rd picks in 2024, and x2 extra rookie list spots in 2024; no Sanders/#11]

[SpiderBurton22]

2 years in a row, we don't have access to the highest ranked player in the country despite having the number 1 pick. Great Competition.

Nah, we could have chosen Daicos or Darcy to be the highest ranked kid in the country last year but we didn’t because we rated JHF higher than both of them.

 

[Ashley B]

Still waiting for the AFL to give us a game at shithead stadium at 2 in the morning against GC. Will be a nightclub atmosphere.

He also got to get the NAB money too for bring pick 1. Why give it to a player we were never going to get.

 

[The Nostradamus]

at least give us a few more extra rookie spots like Gc got

Instead of just 2

Going by that logic we aren't going to choose Ashcroft this year either.

 

[CharlieMortdecai]

Only one player needs to be traded in. If Freo won't take the third round pick for Logue, play hard ball and PSD him.
Use the 3rd round pick for a GC salary dump.
Who needs points next year? Do a trade with them for second rounder this year for the future 2nd.

Clarkos reaction to the excrement we just received . Hope they at least package it nicely with a royal blue and white bow View attachment 1512732

Angry Clarko is good.

 

[The Warlord]

Package could be worse.

Groundbreaking, we’d run with it, opens up overseas markets, able to attract elite talent, such as Dusty and Degoey.
Watch it become a ratings winner only to be taken over by Richmond and Collingwood, when it’s the best time slot.

 

[TruRoos7]

Package could be worse.

I’m still ****ing laughing my arse off!!!!

 

[Hojuman]

One thing guaranteed is if any of the big 4 have a $hit 3 or 4 years we know the rules will be rewritten.

 

[Roos92]

When we are good again it will be sweeter anyway. Done with no AFL assistance (yes a packet of chips doesn't change sh*t).

West Coast are absolutely toast.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Package could be worse.

Could be. But we literally didn't get any 'useable' draft picks, which is exactly what we wanted.

You can't say these future picks even count when they have the caveat on them that we MUST trade them.

 

[King Corey]

It's on the AFL site now. We got diddled. Officially.

That was worth 6 months of negotiations.

 

[nicko74]

Anyone got any twitter reactions from NMFC people... like Mckernan

 

[Ashley B]

How is the Club going to put a positive spin on this pile of shit . Do we get a free book of raffle tickets with these fabulously shithouse picks

Doesn't the future picks have to be for a player and not another pick?

 

[Ashley B]

Are we allowed to use our pick one however we want or have they changed that too pieces of shit

 

[King Corey]

No need for diplomacy now the ruling has been handed out.

I think we/Sonja are within our rights to voice disappointment over this. They have issued the worst ever assistance return or interpretation of a priority pick.

 

[cznsnowy91]

This "package" is a joke. They have given us a pile of shit and then added conditions to what we can do with said pile of shit. I'd honestly prefer we just reject it and get the trades done with our own future picks. Bit petty but if we are going to get that little help with how poor we have been we may as well just do it ourselves. They should have just given us nothing and said PP's were over, because whatever these are, they ain't PP's.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Gold Coast were given

• 2019 Pick 1
• 2020 Pick 11
• 2021 Pick 19
• Increased list space
• Access to Darwin pre-elections

In other words, a kings ransom

Club	3rd year prior	2nd year prior	Year prior	Priority picks received	Other considerations
Gold Coast	2017 (6-16)	2018 (4-18)	2019 (3-19)	#1 2019, #20 2019, #11 2020, #19 2021	Darwin as a zone, sign GC Academy players w/o bids, rookie list up to 10 spots, plus "operational & strategic support" from AFL
Brisbane Lions	2014 (7-15)	2015 (4-18)	2016 (3-19)	#19 2016
Carlton	2016 (7-15)	2017 (6-16)	2018 (2-20)	Access to state league players in 2018
North Melbourne	2020 (3-14)	2021 (4-17)	2022 (2-20)	2023 2nd round, 2023 3rd round (must be traded in 2022, otherwise picks cease to exist)	Two extra rookie list spots

Presented without comment

Another way:

GC got two first rounders and two second rounders over three years, plus expanded rookie list, for 13 wins over three seasons
Brisbane got a second rounder for 14 wins over three seasons
Carlton got access to state league players for 18 wins in three seasons

North get two picks we have to trade that aren't first rounders, nor are they in the current year's draft, for 9 wins in three seasons

We have to call out the hypocrisy. The reason North keep getting ****ed over is because we meekly accept it. No fear from the AFL about us making a big deal about anything.

 

[Supa_Nova]

Alright I've melted, and now I've reassessed.

We are unlucky. AFL were gearing towards removing PPs, and they felt they HAD to help GC because the alternative is they lose $$ and fold. Estaished clubs don't need that, and the GC picks royally screwed up the draft. It was good for no one.

The last time a team got that much help was well over decade ago. Second rounders are the go for PP assistance now as evidenced with Brisbane and Carlton recently.

It's not the worst, it gets us logue without losing what we had. It basically fixes our mistake of ccj for a second. If others hadn't of gotten anything as well this would be viewed alot differently. Glass half full.
