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?

Ridiculous analogy and NO

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

End of discussion
well if Melbounre qualify then so do we. We've been worse than them

Worst performed side in the last 32 years.  Isn't that one of the criteria?   ;D

Richmond don't need charity?

Richmond are playing against drug cheats.
Salary cap cheats.
Teams that get free top five draft picks.
Teams with an extra 10% cap

Seems to me everyone gets charity. Outside of Richmond

Really?

We played finals last year did we not?

Therefore, we don't meet the current criteria

There shouldn't be priority picks for any club - it is a stupid system

 :wallywink

I'm very much aware of how bad we've been. 33 years I've been a member - I know how bad we've been

Think you'll find I've handed out some whacks this year to this club so don't accuse me of "sugar coating" anything

Brisbane was the benefited from the rape of Fitzory
Wce shot up roids
The gc/gws is a laugh.
Collingwood cut deals with the expansion clubs and tanked.


I reckon the "everyone's on the welfare apart from the tigers" is a fairly decent argument

Stuff of Melbourne. Fold the club instead

Steal our Tassie games and give them to North.
Steal our Skoda sponsorship and give it to GWS.
Steal the Tassie devils sponsorship and give it to Carlscum.
Steal our home, the MCG, and give home function rooms to Collingwood and increased games to Carlton after paying them compo to go to Docklands.
Give a brand new home to Hawthorn after paying them compo for the loss of Waverley.

You two need your own tv show - or at least a sticky to talk all things football.
