So they intentionally gutted their team a couple of years back, then sack a few coaches, get assistance to do so and get Clarkson and now get picks.

Like **** off!
 
Don’t mind it. Obv it would be better to give them nothing, but.

Theyve won 9 games over 3 seasons, lost every game by 50+ this year. AFL could’ve easily given them pick 1+ more. Hopefully those days are over.

Ridiculous but at least they saw the sense in not giving them any high picks to add to the already large number of high picks they've already had given they're at the back end of the talent accumulation phase of their rebuild that will soon start to bear fruit.
 
Either Buddy or Rohan will take the record outright for most GF losses played in since 1990 - currently shared between them and numerous others including Adam Schneider and Sean Dempster (2006, 2009, 2010), and Geelong players who played in the 1989, 1992, 1994 and 1995 grand finals, such as GAS, Brownless and Couch.
 
2nd and 3rd round picks for 2023 that must be traded is a sensible setup. No priority picks should be just given out to use in the draft. By the time Father/Son's and Academy picks get factored in that's going to end up something like pick 22 and pick 45. This is not going to net them (or the club(s) traded to) a star. It's a solid journeyman (or two) type player. That should be enough to help North be more competitive, but it isn't going to screw other clubs over greatly.

If we place it as pick 22 in 2023, is there anyone on our list we'd consider expendable enough to try and get?

They dumped all their players to do it.
It was intentional (ish).

Shouldn’t be rewarded.

What a farce

I said here that when Clarkson was announced that only an idiot would believe there was no “coffee with Gil” behind the scenes that went on before he accepted the job

It’s stupid they get rewarded for the crap they pulled. Cutting players so they got worse then claim to need priority picks to get better.

Mickey Mouse league.


Also, what are the odds that the teams that benefit from trades of these picks happen to be big v clubs?

I know rookie list players are on minimum wage, but does this mean N0rf will be getting a TPP supplement to cover the two extra list spots they've been gifted? Of course not - their payments will be outside the cap, you fool!
