Don't think I mentioned tanking at all...
All I've said is that top teams can't replenish their list as quickly, poor teams are supported for a longer period of time, fringe teams aren't punished for good luck, clubs can plan their draft strategies earlier, and in *extreme circumstances teams can't have one off year and benefit massively.
Theoretically, would provide a more balanced competition given a few years of use.
What I am saying is that teams that think that getting a couple of low picks will solve there problem re on the wrong track.
So under this system a team on the way down like Freo wouldn't get low draft picks before being supported for several years? So chances are they will spend longer down the bottoms being uncompetitive before getting extra help on the way up.
Last year The bullies would get a top ten pick due to having 3 bad years previously.
We have had 2 sides bottom out and bounce back quickly. 1 the Pies and half of that was the pp and FS selections the other the Eagles and that was mainly from the Judd Trade .
We're we punished for beating the Tigers in the 13 EF? Middle teams just need to get there drafts right. It is not like 2010-2012 where compromised drafts held teams like Carlton Efc or the Tigers back
Pies traded out 3 premiership players to get 5 first round drafts to then get 1 average ruckman.
Systems other than the current one would be too complicated and will throw up just as many unfair situations.
