Yep exactly. This points to an complete incompetence on behalf of the board. Imagine the outcry if we actually were to get one now after stating we don't require one??. Club is being run by a bunch of amateurs.
Honestly just poor all round. Even SOS letting go of better players to bring in Shaw types. I just don’t get what is going on with the club. They all must have an idea in their head of what this rebuild is suppose to look like but it has failed. You think Bolton and SOS would have been happy with a 1-22 season in the 3rd year of a rebuild had they known from day dot? I think they would have done things differently to be honest. This club is cursed.

I'm fairly confident the AFL will not just grant a priority pick to us.
Likewise would anyone be surprised if Lynch leaves Goldcoast that they grant them a priority pick and compo pick?

Eg Revised Draft order

1 Gold Coast Priority Pick
2 Carlton
3 Gold Coast
4 Gold Coast Compo Pick

or

1 Carlton
2 Gold Coast
3 Gold Coast Priority Pick
4 Gold Coast Compo Pick


So club would be happy for this? rather than having the following

Eg Revised Draft order
1 Carlton Priority Pick
2 Gold Coast Priority Pick
3 Carlton
4 Gold Coast
5 Gold Coast Compo Pick

or this

1 Carlton
2 Carlton Priority Pick
3 Gold Coast
4 Gold Coast Priority Pick
5 Gold Coast Compo Pick

??????

They will not grant a priority pick at the top of the draft. It would be at the end of the first round.
I'd like to believe that the AFL is a rational, fair and wouldn't given unfair advantage to one of their franchises....... nor attempt to sweep a club wide performance enhancing drug use program under the carpet.

The club let the media get to them in regards to the priority pick. You don’t say you don’t want a pick midway through the season. I wonder if they are regretting saying that now? That was very disappointing. We have the worst list any club has had since the Fitzroy days and we don’t need a priority pick apparently? Ok.
We said we wouldn’t be asking for one, not that we wouldn’t accept one that was offered.

The club played the media like fools. And it seems many of our own kind are quick to lay the boots in on matters they don't understand.

WE DONT NEED TO APPLY. It is up to the AFL to use their disgression. Now it's put to bed so no need to hear any more about the matter

Is that even a thing though? Has the afl ever offered a priority pick without the club asking?
Not required to ask. If we do, that can be taken into consideration by the AFL when deciding if we get one. There is a criteria and then AFL discretion.

Need to send them tapes of Cornes assessments of the club. Would be hard pressed to show why we didn’t need a PP given the bleak state of everything.

Who did Silvagni let go of to bring in Shaw/Mullett/O'Shea? What did the latter group cost?

That would be hilarious

"Here are some tapes from a champion of the game and independent judge who now professionally comments on football"

Imagine if Kane Cornes got us a PP
