Should draft positions be finalized based on the ladder and not the outcomes of finals?

[100action]

I was a bit dismayed to find out we will be getting the last pick despite finishing 7th in the h/a season.

I would have thought the h/a season is more relevant for the determination of the draft order as the large sample of games determines more accurately the strength of the side.

This shouldn't be overridden by finals results as the limited number of games combined with the knockout factor means the best team doesn't necessarily win.

If a weaker side wins the premiership, the draft as it currently stands doesn't equitably distribute the picks

Thoughts?

Mate you've won a premiership, who gives a damn!

First of all, you have just won a premiership, why are you thinking about the draft?

Second, when the lions won there three peat, they didn't finish on top of the ladder once. Do you really think that team deserved a better draft pick?

This. It's an equalizaition thing so of course the premiers should pick last of each round.

Wait, this isnt the Bay?

Just silly.

I agree with the OP, the doggies Bradburied.

You will already bring in bob Murphy, wallis, suckling,Crameri and probably Cloke next year.

Pretty hard done by

Improving your draft position by 6 places? Just enjoy your flag

At the risk of taking the OP seriously, you were the best team this year therefore you get the last pick (and a flag)

Clearly fishing and already reeled in a few shuckers.

 

[Halftimehero]

Why would you even give a **** about this right now?

 

[Topkent]

Jesus mate ... your the worst bulldogs supporter ever
If Melbourne won a flag I wouldn't even care if we had a single pick the next year

 

[bugalugs213]

Ahahahaahah... nice one op.

The draft has been going for 30 years, and you're only realising this now?

 

[raskolnikov]

Lol.

Nice troll.

They will probably ask for more form the equalisation fund, they will need to do some decorating at the kennel!

 

[Blue1980]

Considering there was bugger all between 1-7th all year not sure why this should be the case.

We slid to pick 13 despite technically finishing 9th in 2013 (which worked out ok with Cripps)

Really bad thread

They already get enough as is.

How do they determine which preliminary final loser finishes 3rd and 4th? Likewise semi final losers 5 and 6?
And which elim final losers 7 and 8)
1 and 2 clear cut. But not 3 to 8...
