They don't deserve a PP. They are responsible for their own poor choices as a club.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Lol theyll get one. They are AFL backed now.

They don't deserve a PP. They are responsible for their own poor choices as a club.

They also have some good young talent already that Clarko could click into gear, so fukc them no pp.

More stupid than dirty looks like the sort of player who would melt like an ice block in boiling water if he came up against a real hard nut player.
Glad his gone.

Are there any real hard nut players these days?

Aren't priority picks almost exclusively reserved for Victorian teams?

Like gold coast is the first non vic team for 20 years to get that kind of assistance

 

[edgie]

Glen Waverley appear to be the Eagles, but maybe they should change it to Turkeys...

Is this normal behaviour for lads these days?

The other reason why I don't like the bye is that teams like the Dogs, who snuck into the 8 by the skin of their teeth, get an undeserved reprieve before playing their first final.

So do their opponents.

Besides, it's 'deserved' by sheer fact that they made the finals.

 

[Schulzenfest]

There's a bit of a logical fallacy with the priority picks these days that annoys me a little.

To get a priority pick you need to be pretty bad for a number of years. So by the time you get the pick, you've actually already managed to accumulate a fair bit of talent, it just hasn't been long enough for it to show yet in results terms.

And more to the point, the 'solution' of a priority pick doesn't actually address the problem. North's problem is that they're bad now, not that they'll be bad in 3-4 years' time. If they get an end of first round PP, how does that help them next year? They had an end of first round pick this year (Josh Goater), he played one game.

This is North's 3rd poor year in a row, after finishing 17th and 18th.

So over the 2 previous drafts before trades compo picks etc they would have accumulated picks
2+1, 20+19, 38+37. That's not GWS and GC like early picks

When Hawthorn had 2 poor years, the one before Clarko got there and his first year, they got pre Rd 1 priority picks so they got
2+5+21+37 in 2004 and in 2005 it was 3+6+22+38.

Lots of clubs, ie mainly Vic clubs, between 1997 and 2005 had this sort of set up with priority picks where if you got 20 premiership pts or less you automatically got a pre Rd1 priority pick.

They’ve chosen to be bad though, getting rid of senior players and sacking coaches.

No pick!

How dare you use those two people in the same sentence!

Frampton not fit to tie Brian Leys bootlaces.

Any thoughts on the John Cahill Medal.
Rozee second half of the season
SPP been fantastic all season

Any thoughts on the John Kahill Medal.

I reckon it will be a bit closer. The Angle Park straight.

Not fit to be mentioned in the same sentence…
Leys was an awesome tough defender.
Frampton is a blonde tinted pretty boy in comparison .

These idiots in the media and callers talking about 7v10, 8v9 etc to fill the bye week forget why the bye week was brought in - to stop clubs (Freo and NM at the time) from resting half their team in the final round once their finals position was locked up and to keep the bookies happy. If there was a wildcard weekend over the 'bye' week, the resting of multiple players could potentially happen again.

I have no issue with this idea, to be honest.

 

[edgie]

There shouldn't be a pre finals bye. The end.

Rozee to win, but there are a few I'd like to see rewarded in the rankings.

Todd and Pep should be top 5 for their seasons.

 

[Capital Power]

This is probably for the unpopular opinion thread, but I'm not sure I can get excited about who is the best player in the 11th placed team.

It’s not the 11th best team, it’s our team.

What I'm not excited about is listening to Koch and Hinkley giving speeches, unless they plan to use the forum to announce their resignations.

I like Dennis...

Legendary commentator Dennis Cometti has urged the AFL to maintain the current balance of free-to-air and pay TV matches in its next broadcast deal, after league boss Gillon McLachlan described the federal government’s concerns as “irrelevant”.

Commentary legend Cometti weighs in on free-to-air AFL rights

Dennis Cometti, who retired from Channel Seven in 2016, said the AFL would risk alienating fans if it struck a deal that resulted in more live matches behind a paywall.
