Title: No priority pick for Carlton and Brisbane (afl site)
Post by: one-eyed on September 30, 2015, 05:50:22 PM
CARLTON and the Brisbane Lions have failed in their bids for priority picks, with the AFL knocking back their requests for extra draft selections.

The League informed the Blues and Lions on Wednesday their submissions for priority picks under the special assistance rule would not be granted.

The AFL executive believed the plight of the Blues and Lions, who finished this season in 18th and 17th positions on the ladder respectively, did not constitute the "exceptional circumstances" required to win a priority pick.

More corruption in the AFL. Their failure to publish what constitutes "exceptional circumstances" is BS.

All they have to say is that if you are last with less than 4 wins for 4 years in a row, you get a PP. As if any club will tank for 4 years just to get an extra pick……. :rollin

At least it will stop the tanking....

I know if the tiges had only won 15 games in 4 years Id be wanting a draft scenerio along what GWS/GC got.
