Carlton & Gold Coast to apply for priority draft picks (Age)
one-eyed:
The AFL is preparing for Carlton and Gold Coast to make applications for priority draft picks at the end of the season.
The expectation from the league is that both clubs will apply, as they must to have a chance of receiving an extra draft pick under the rules. Carlton and Gold Coast have won two and four games respectively in 2018, occupying the bottom two positions on the table.

Carlton played finals only 5 years ago when they beat us in the EF :scream. It's not over a decade without finals like we had to endure from 2002-12 and before that 1983-1994. Their downfall has been through their own ineptness both on and off-field. No one forced them to trade away so many senior players that are still playing elsewhere. When they last had a priority pick they traded an early pick away plus Josh Kennedy for Judd as a 'quick fix'. It's a joke if they receive a priority pick now.

Their CEO Cain Liddle ( ex Richmond ) came out and stated categorically that Carlton will not be applying for a priority pick because Carlton finally want to take responsibility for their current position. Their President then came out and strongly confirmed their stance with the same reasoning.
It would be a stunning reversal if they now apply for a priority pick and probably confirms why the Blues are absolute rabble.

How about they merge the two stuffing minnow clubs, may as well throw North in there as well and if they are lucky they might have a competitive team
