It was announced earlier this week that Brisbane father-son prospect Will Ashcroft has nominated the Lions as his preferred destination heading into this year's national draft and most experts have had Ashcroft down as the number one pick for most of this year. It seems pretty likely that West Coast or North will make Brisbane pay full price for Ashcroft by bidding on him with the number one pick. The Lions also happen to be on the edge of the top 4 right now and seem like one of the legitimate threats to win the flag this year. Brisbane would be the first club ever to win the flag AND secure the number one draft pick in the same year if everything goes according to plan for them.
How would you feel if this played out? Last year we saw the Bulldogs make the grand final and secured father-son pick Sam Darcy with pick two and we also saw the Dogs make the first round of the finals in 2020 when they secured Jamarra Ugle-Hagan with pick one but we've never seen a team win the premiership AND get the first pick in the draft in the same year.
