I agree we have had a lot given and screwed it up.
However, if you have such an issue, what would have you considered fair for us to get in 2010?
I have no issue with what you got, it's in the past.
However in my opinion you have to make your own way now as painful as it is.
Fremantle were a basket case for the first decade as well, they received no special treatment.
St Kilda has played in 3 GF's in the best part of 50 years.
North and Adelaide haven't tasted a GF in over 20 years now, both of them have barely bottomed out in that period either.
I'd rather you got additional salary cap space in the form of COLA rather than continually compromising the draft year after year.
So clubs like North and St Kilda potentially miss out on the player they need this year to bail out a decade of GC's management's incompetence? Seems real fair.
Pick #2 is far too high a value. They've only done it this year because of the Rowell/Anderson scenario, which is even worse, it's pure corruption.
