Prediction Will Carlton be 'awarded' with a priority pick this season?

[Robertio]

eh?... they asked for priority picks last year and got rejected.

That was last year.

 

[btdg]

They should give all 18 teams a priority pick before the first round this year. That way it’s fair on everyone...

 

[Robertio]

Am i getting this right, are there opposition supporters in this thread saying Carlton should apply for a PP?

 

[Rich01]

I don't think we need one, nor do i think we'll get one.

but it's hard to put together an objective argument for the gold coast to get one and carlton not to.

gold coast 2017: 6-16
carlton 2017: 6-16

gold coast 2018: 4-18
carlton 2018: 2-20

gold coast 2019: 3-12 (3 single digit losses)
carlton 2019: 3-12 (4 single digit losses)

Yes, but Carlton supporters are telling us they are only a year behind Brisbane and we have seen their progression this year.

 

[Pinnell]

When we finish of the season with another 3-4 wins none of this will be relevant

 

[Blues_Man]

I thought that is why they traded there best pick away last year??? To get a handout.

For what its worth 19 years of hell is not enough, try 30 plus years of hell think you may have an invitation to the table!!

wtf are you talking about ? ..Richmond has recieved priority picks in the past

This post is a result of the conversation on the Couch the other night

Richmond stunk from the early 80s until 2013.

Suck it up.

Plus Blues okay with a new coaching structure.

 

[TwiggleyFanClub]

Hawthorn have been down for too long, they should get a PP

3yo's in their designer daycare in Camberwell who cry every day because they've never seen a premiership.
For heaven's sake, Gil! Do it for the kids!

Yep, so they can then turn around and rage about it.

 

[Marcel Proust]

Richmond also received priority picks you half wit

Only one, i think

Fair to say that after the Blues traded away an early pick in ‘19 that was if.the AFL in their almighty corrupt wisdom gave them one, there will be more than chicken sh1t dumped at AFL house.

 

[Drewie11]

It would be great if the AFL mess around with them again like they did last year.

Carlton- we don’t want and won’t be asking for a priority pick

AFL- if Carlton asked for a priority pick then that’s something we would look into

Nek minnit

AFL- Hey Gill, Carlton are on the phone. They DO want a priority pick now

Gill


Have a couple state league players

Alex Rance also comes to mind...there might be more I can’t recall without searching.

 

[Foucault1989]

Don't want one. Don't need one. I would prefer Carlton take control of their own future not rely on AFL handouts.

Totally. Need to support "the family club". Its ironic that supporters who bag out teams asking for a priority pick received priority picks themselves...

 

[Xtreme]

I don't see why they should, they've barely moved off the bottom rung of the ladder over the last few years.

Hawthorn should get one, at least they know how to treat and get the most out of their players

 

[SaltPeter]

People forget about Rance because he was an end of first round priority pick.

 

[Robertio]

The bloke who started this thread is getting exactly what he wants, people bagging Carlton.

Because Carlton can still attract players and is based in Melbourne. GC can't attract anyone and are in a non footy state. Pretty objective.

 

[TwiggleyFanClub]

Hope we get one, if only for the melts on the Crows board.

Major Carlton troll...but he’s not alone.

 

[JPetro83]

No and the suns don't deserve one either.
Teams who bring it on themselves don't deserve... I mean the Suns traded a pick 2 they had for Weller.
I hope the AFL put their foot down next month and say no to anyone asking for handouts.

 

[Drunkcat]

Give them nothing they are now trying in games that's all they had to do

 

[Tushay]

Given the news in regards to the Suns seeking support via the draft from the AFL - Can Carlton too be given assistance? Again.

After last season being very shred with their bonus assets given by the AFL; Carlton yet are still struggling in regards to wins.

Will the AFL seek to give the blues pick 1 or 2 at the top of the draft? of perhaps a end of first round draft selection / selection rights to state players, again?

The case can be made it is best for the AFL to have a stronger and winning Carlton than the current state?

This post seems like a genuine attempt to draw out the trolls, and an unintentional attempt to draw out the punctuation and grammar police.

If you were paying attention last year you'd realise that the AFL doesn't "give" assistance or "seek" to give picks. They expect a club to beg, and there'd be little prospect of that after last year's circus.
