Why are they mutually exclusive?
They're not
But we are FINALLY trying to be professional so outsiders can stick their bib out
If Vlad approves, I approve
Couldn't give a s**t what Anderson thinks, or opposition supporters, or the media

There isn't an established club out there that wouldn't make the request if they ended up on 2 wins and 50 odd %.
Prior history is irrelevant. Anderson is taking licence here to be a smart-arse.

Probably on Newstart.
The irony is that Anderson was probably one of the architects of this new dumb-arse application system.
In order for the club to seek clarification of where it lays wrt a PP it has no other option than to apply for it. Once they apply they get tarnished by everyone as if they are suggesting they deserve a PP when that is not necessarily the case.

I was happy when he resigned (bullshit he was sacked)
I thought we would never hear from him again :/

As I have said on the MB, we were historically bad in 2013.
If you go through the wooden spooners in 22 game seasons, our results this year would have had us win the spoon in all but around 6 of them.
I am confident that the AFL will see sense here.

Hutchy is a Kn*b....I think the jurnos want to think we won't because it makes them feel better.
If we do or if we don't I still look forward to next year.
I thought he said there is no way they would get the number 1 pick, so still a chance for one at end of first round I'd be happy with that.
End of first round ain't going to help us, its no.1 or nothing and they scrap the PP for evermore.

IMO we don't deserve it. But I'm not an idiot; It'd be very handy to get.
Journos, Clubs and Supporters whinging about us getting it won't make the AFL's decision for them.
Plus, the timeline of a news cycle means by Christmas it won't be in the media and eventually forgotten by most.

The priority pick system should not be used to punish us (by not granting a pick) on the basis that we wasted our other high picks and the not tanking saga, and therefore we don't 'deserve' it.
If the system is used to push this type of agenda then it should be scrapped, otherwise it becomes a redundant mechanism that's only purpose is to tease really poorly managed teams that they might get access to an additional equalisation measure.
If you take that agenda away (which is being pushed by everyone else except us), then I agree with Peter Jackon, looking at our results over the past 7 years we have a bloody good argument to get a priority pick, particuarly given our worst result in that period occurred this year.

You're kidding yourself if you think giving us one is questionable at best.
I mean of course I won't say no but if it wasn't my club I probably wouldn't want a pick to be given out either.

I don't like our chances either. The AFL will cave on this one. I won't cry about it though, we just move on.
To be honest, I'll be embarrassed if the club gets one.

I won't. But I am not perennially negative.
The team is arsed, look at the results. Either give us a PP or scrap the system.
It will be traded for an experienced player regardless, so don't give me any ******* nonsense about development.
