Can someone explain in simple terms how we get walker and blues miss out?

Would love to bend them over.

We finish last, they finish in the vortex of mediocrity- say 7-11th.
We bid with our pick 1 which is 1400 points more than pick 7 (for finishing 11th) and they need to effectively trade for pick 8 to get the points to match it.
The difference is you only get 2 picks whereas in years gone past you could use as many picks necessary.
It’s a great adjustment

I f***ing love this club”

If we finish last in 2016 we could also claim a priority pick a la WCE……
But we won’t finish last IMO

Not so sure about not finishing last.

Reckon we are the only club not in a position yet (still busy getting as many high picks as we can onto the list) than other clubs.
We have a heavy reliance on 30 plus year olds who wont be getting any better. We have a very ordinary 24 - 28 core who kids have to replace and it wont happen over night.

wce started their rebuild before us but are in a similar position to us and NM now have games into most of their better draftees and will rise.
