Should we ask the AFL for priority picks like Melbounre ?

[Judge Roughneck]

"Worse than fitzory"

Where are our picks?

What bollocks

[tony_montana]

Surely the afl wont give them, surely.... If they get a PP and get the expected comp for Frawley they will get

 3 top 10 picks this season, to go with the extra 2 x top 12 picks they got for scully, who incidently they tanked to get with trengove at picks 1 and 2, not to mention the dodgys they did with GWS to get Hogan and then only pay a second round for Viney, not to mention the afl paying Jacksons wage and subsidising a fair chunk of Roo's 1.5mill a season wage not to mention paying out their other dud staff.

Get stuffed

[Chuck17]

Delegate them to the VFL

Relegate?

[WilliamPowell]

Don't think Frawley has boosted his FA stocks the last few weeks in particular on Sunday he was putrid 

The compo FA pick is a given because that's the rule.

As for the Priority Pick, I can't see the commission agreeing to it. Can't reward a club for being incompetent. Especially when the other clubs so opposed to it, they'd have mutiny on their hands

but do you agree that we should aks for one too ?

[tony_montana]

should ask for 4 retrospective PP's

[Rampstar]

Melbourne should be merged with Norf. They can live at Arden Street as the Melbourne Kangaroos.

[WilliamPowell]

NO

[Rampstar]

NO

NO from me as well. Richmond doesnt need charity.

[Phil Mrakov]

but do you agree that we should aks for one too ?

NO

Why not? If there's $100 flying around on the road wouldn't you take it?

Barrett today says it all

Simply, Melbourne does not deserve a priority draft selection, even after the disaster of last Sunday against the Giants.

Since 2006, it has had 17 national draft selections inside pick 26, 13 of those in the top 14. It has had two priority selections, two No.1 overall picks, seven picks in the top four.

It will get more significant compensation this year if free agent James Frawley departs.

The AFL has assisted this club enough. Last year, eight months after fining it $500,000 despite officially ruling that the Demons didn't tank in 2009, it provided $2.7 million in bailout funds.

It has allowed for Roos to be paid about $1.6 million a year, a figure that for some clubs would cover a senior coach, six assistants and a fitness boss.

Until Melbourne changes its attitude and stops seeking welfare, it cannot be fixed.

A decent coach wouldnt hurt either

[WilliamPowell]

NO

Ridiculous analogy and NO

There is a criteria in place for the issuing of P/Picks - we clearly don't qualify
