Agreed.Lets hope everyone who posts in this thread keeps comments civil.
Billy is a lovely kid who doesn't deserve the abuse he has copped over the years.
I hope he gets back to his old self as quickly as possible.
They may try but doubt we have any hope whatsoever.Hopefully it all works out for Billy.
Regardless of whether we think he is a capable player, it means we lose a potential back up.
Wonder if the club uses this as another pointer to a priority pick due to potentially a 3rd player in 2 years having to retire prematurely due to concussion issues.
They may try but doubt we have any hope whatsoever.
The more we win the less likely it becomes. I think if we'd finished second bottom as it looked a month ago we may have had a chance but now the AFL would look ridiculous giving a priority pick to a club who just misses out on finals.They may try but doubt we have any hope whatsoever.
If we win around 10 games I’m going no hope. Going no hope now. Anyway. Good luck billy3 with concussion, 1 with heart issues.
Think we would have a more compelling case than Carlton who managed to get a mature body in late last year. That is on top of the 15 odd first round draft picks that they have playing in their team this year.

We could always get a very thinly disguised end of first round priority pick for Jack Newnes leaving though knowing how much the AFL enjoy dodgy compensation.If we win around 10 games I’m going no hope. Going no hope now. Anyway. Good luck billy
you are right but should it be a priority pick or a compensation pick for three possibly 4 players lost to the game for reasons out side of our control ... i mean 1 you can call bad luck but 4 off the back of losing Koby and Dempster early due to similar issues in previous years thats a fair whack without my Saints bias i reckon any club copping that does deserve some sort of compo ... maybe not the first round pick that we were hoping for should we have finished second last but we could do with a bit of a leg upThe more we win the less likely it becomes. I think if we'd finished second bottom as it looked a month ago we may have had a chance but now the AFL would look ridiculous giving a priority pick to a club who just misses out on finals.
As someone said before these are reasons not to get a pp ie. you only got zero wins cos you had 20 injured all year means no pp cos you’re better than you performed3 with concussion, 1 with heart issues.

Don’t agree. If anything it’s you who are trying to be too broad in your interpretation that pp guidelines in any way are there to react to injuries.You’re applying that logic too broadly. It’s to stop a team who was playing well, or set to play well, in a given season from asking for a PP after a low finish skewed by injuries. I’m our situation, it helps our cause because we’re trying to build a list up from our bottom-4 quality, yet are getting these setbacks.
In addition, many of our injuries will be career-ending, whereas the logic you’re using pertains to injuries within that horror season which won’t carry through to following years.
